I looked at that car with Harry a few weeks ago at eurocar when I was looking at a Murci. Nice car and worth the extra money for white/burry color.

I think you would be very surprised at what I paid for the car.

I hope you got under $50K. They are good guys there willing to work price. Waiting for my Ithaca green Murci from Harry.

Yes, I can understand why, SL 65 with RENNtech...Mamamia! I took some photos at eurocar, but it is still on eBay for the guy interested in seeing more photos, or go to eurocar website.

Probably in the 30k range to low 40k. The SL's are a tough sell right now.

True, but V12 65s still hanging in there pretty good among the other SL class, especially his being V12, rare color combo, somewhat low mileage and RENNtech nice combo. Plus was like new when I saw it. Good to pay a little extre. I was real tempted as I prefer show car buys, but needed to focus on a Murci. However that place is like a candy store, and I want almost everything whenever I walk in there.

Here are some nice shots when I was following it at Harris-Connor before Eurocar got it...as you can see nice car: http://harrisconnor.com/portfolio/20...ld-automotive/

Very nice! IMO although the sexy R230 lines looks good in all colors, white and red look freaking awesome. What are the renntech mods? I'm guessing tune and exhaust plus maybe cooling?

I wish but no. It was a LOT less than they were asking but not fools money.

In the Seattle market I could sell it and make money.

There are a lot of good people on here but as with any forum on the interwebs a few choads here and there. Never bothers me regardless of what they say.

Just got home last night from the 1300 mile drive home. Car performed well and actually got better mileage than what I was expecting.
