You always wanted silent and fast.

Congratulations!


On an unrelated​ note, I thought some of you guys might want this. I think he is only asking $80, looks black in the pictures but it's hard to tell.

International cab over - $4000


https://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/6127063194.html





Mid eighties, 350 big cam 3. Roadranger 9 speed. Clear RV title. Previous owner hauled a pulling tractor in it. We planned to haul our race car but life got in the way and haven't had time to finish. Box is 28' long, needs help inside. Couple leaks, pretty much​ gutted. Cab dirty, but useable. Tires dry but hold air. Runs very well. Drove about 50 miles to get it to my shop.

Firstly, who trades a Lotus Esprit Turbo for a boat?



Secondly, what the hell is an otter switch?

Quick Google: "The original fan controller switch used by Jaguar, and a host of other manufacturers in the 1960′s and 70′s, was known as an Otter Switch. In its day this unit functioned adequately but technology has moved on and more reliable, solid state alternatives now exist."

Not sure if Lotus was using 1960's era Jaguar technology in 1988, but I guess it is possible.

I'd like to have a Lotus turbo and get a silk shirt and gold chain, rent a modernistic mansion and pretend like I was some sleazoid kingpin in an old Miami Vice episode. I'd invite a dozen strippers to lay around by the pool and snort coke off each other's asses just as extras to fill in the background.

(No it is not fwd) lol

There is a lot of money poured into this car and it is capable of destroying cars in autocross and road courses. This is my daily for 2 years and has been reliable since I had it. I do not want to let it go and I don't need too. My price stands at 12k. It's worth every penny. This is a Car you can daily and beat it at the track and drive it home without any worry after clutch is done of course. Driven it all over Arkansas and to autocross events and even Hallett. I trust this car to go anywhere. Even with the clutch slipping at high Rpms right now. I still drive it every day.

Txt me or call me.

Not interested in any trades. Cash talks and no joy rides and not meeting anyone up anywhere. To many people kicking rocks. If you are serious you will drive to me and have money in hand.

Not on CL, but a good thing to post here. Found on Car-part.com:

Hard Dog Double Hoop Roll Bar $250
Fleetwood Motors Company VARA USA-VA(King-William)1-800-800-6826


Looks like some other nice parts from the same car for somebody, too.

Edit: looking at the date on the pics, it may be cannibalized by now.
