72 TR6 MONSTER
My car took over 4 years to build. I drive it every chance I get. In the British V8 photo gallery, under TR6, Rick Vandenberg, you can see all about it. I run it in any charitable event for cops or kids, and now I am considering selling it. It appraised at $30,000 when finished, I'm asking $18,000 O.B.O. It is so much fun to drive, and it attracts a lot of attention. I can be contacted at rpjvan@yahoo.com cell# 720-377-8920 home# 303-421-0438

Re: 72 TR6 MONSTER
Greetings!
An urgent medical issue has prompted me to lower the price to $15,000 or best offer. I have received a lot of e-mails with questions about my car. The biggie seems to be; does it have door windows? Answer is not currently. With 300 sunny days a year in Denver, the top is never on, so it is basically a roadster. The window systems can bolt on in just a few hours. As for the stats listed in my British V8 article, they were achieved with a single shot of NOS and a G-Tech pro. These tests were completed when the car was finished, and the car has never been pushed since. The engine was built by retired Indy car owner/driver Tom Frantz, with the support of GM. The bottom end is designed to handle a double shot, or a supercharger. It is running hyper-utechtic graphite coated pistons along with a host of other cool GM parts.Current HP is around 440. It is a super reliable, and fun car. Not to mention really quick. The rear tires on my car are 16" wide. One interested person said that he was not interested in doing burnouts. The purpose of the 16" wide tires is to AVOID wheelspin! This car does great on a cruise to the store, or a long run through the mountains with the club. Thank you, Rick Vandenberg |
