    Default Interesting M81 mention on another board

    http://insider.speedtv.com/viewtopic.php?t=164234

    I find it important that he has the molds for the fiberglass work.

    I'm not familiar with the race versions as he calls it but I've seen these cars sell for 10-20k. The enduros would sell for much more. I would love to have either an M81 or and enduro.

    That's what I thought. Makes you wonder what is up. I'm calling b.s. until pictures or proof can be shown. Also, how would he have gotten the molds for them too?

    I'd find it odd if a person with the means or ability or connections to get that many of THOSE cars would be randomly joining and posting on message boards instead of calling up an appraiser or searching online in a more thorough or logical manner. Then again, I think we've all seen some pretty surprising things in the automotive world, so anything IS possible.

    If anyone is a member where they've seen that guy post, may as well send him over here. Curiosity has taken hold, certainly.

    He said it was some goofy race version, so its possible. These cars had to end up somewhere.

    Pics or it didn't happen. I don't trust the internets without pictures.

    His lack of pics makes me think that he is lying. I could be wrong.

    At this point it sure doesn't sound legitimate but stranger things have happened before. You will probably never find gold without going on some wild goose chases first.

    lol at one response:

    80s American cars with a foreign influence probably won't get much attention..... Even with the super low production numbers this thing has.

    last time i checked, people are actually into asc's
    '85 Capri RS - sold
    '08 Colorado - thank Christ its gone.
    '98 Cherokee - Current broken DD
    '00 Mustang GT Vert - sold.

    "The most compelling reason for you to own a
    Capri is no reason that can be put into words.
    Call it a touch of sexiness. Or a touch of mystery.
    Or perhaps a touch of magic."

    Just got off the phone with him, sounds like has the cars. He is sending me pictures in a couple of days. They have been in storage for the past 20+ years. They will most likely be on Barrett Jackson next go around.

    Not at all surprised that they ended up in the hands of someone with 3rd grade spelling skills.. hell, the 1980 PPG Pace Car is still rotting in someone's woods, with the owner refusing to sell..
    Good luck KCoker, I can't think of any more capable hands for these cars to fall into..

    None, the cars were suppose to be on Barrett Jackson Las Vegas, they were never there. He never sent pictures. I am beginning to think he never had them or the molds.
