I'm toying with the idea of releasing my BMod LeGrand back into the wild. If anyone is interested in one of the fastest BMod autocross cars in the country---and one of the fastest autocross cars period---let me know. Asking 25k.

With the introduction of a second child into our household, my wife and I are looking at moving and need more room--and with the housing market being what it is...this takes precedence.

I am not selling this car to buy another car (yet)--I'll be running the Classic Motorsports BMW in FSP for 2011.

Man I wish I had another kidney to sell, that thing looks like a lot of fun.

You can't sell your dad's car!

Do you refer to it as an auto-x car because it has had very difficult or expensive to reverse changes that would prevent it being used as a DSR for road racing with SCCA?

Dad's got a second car now. He's cool with it.

As for road racing--it's not hard to make it a road racing car, it's just way more competitive in BMod than DSR. Change some alignments, remove the second element on the wing, put a different sprocket on it and go racing. Cost...20 bucks. Per

Why not sell this one to dad and sell his new one off?

Dad wants to play with his car--not this car---so it's going to be sitting there. I hate to see race cars sit.

Are sports racers generally accepted at time trials and track days?

Oh, and at 3 years and 2 months, I've owned this one longer than any other car in my life.

It's little. I wouldn't run it on track with regular sized cars.

Any vintage groups that it's eleigible for? (of course, assuming a correct motor)

may help buyers think about it in some regions.

Yep, legal for vintage racing if you backdate to a carbureted engine. Might be legal in HSR as-is.

I guess that's the answer that I needed to hear.

Good lord. Nice car, but I didn't realize how much one would cost.

Wow, I'd just love to get in on this, but we just put up a new shop. I've been dreaming of going BM after ESP, but the timing's just not right for me.

Well, that one's got some history behind it. The ones that haven't won a National Championship are still pretty affordable.

I'll bet it was when he bought it.

I do love that car - it's just $90k more than I have to spend.

Yeah, I keep playing the lottery, but for now I'm just a virtual tire-kicker.

Tell you what, you can store it in my garage in Spokane, WA until you find a buyer. I promise that I will exercise it at all of the local events until then...
