4 engines 4 drives per boat. Amount of engines does not surprise me. The back of the trailer says "Gentry Surface Drives" if he was also selling drives the 80 amount would not surprise me. My biggest problem is I was a junior in high school when this was packed up. Need to say I was chasing something else in that era and it was not offshore boats... also facebook link looks pretty legit...

I am currently talking to "orionbbs" on face book and it is NOT Darr, you can see his profile on face book and you can tell by just viewing it it's not a fake person.

It appears you have a bunch of 20 year old boat racing items. It also appears you have one off custom items. This thread really belongs in the general discussion forum. I don't think anybody is concerned about it being a classified ad....unless you are looking for a lump sum payment to not have to pull, then inventory and sell it. I don't know if you have 150K worth of parts or 1.5 million....it does make it cool seeing this thread on a Saturday night instead of doing something cool like chasing tail...or running up a bar tab someplace...

Thanks Tombone.. I'm not this Darr dude, whoever the heck that is You can see more about my Impala by the way at http://NASCARImpala.com including interviews of me. Was a fun project I did where we restored the car in 30 days for Monterey Historics.

My most recent project, kind of a crap deal a Mustang I bought as a Fastback that turned out to be a Notchback, we are going crazy on as a track day car/resto mod. try to turn lemons into lemonade http://www.stangtv.com/features/car-...tang-fastback/

Anyways... any info on the boat stuff is appreciated. I'll post more photos as soon as I have them.

thanks

Yeah it was crazy working 18 hour days. The Impalas up at the Lamay museum in WA right now in their NASCAR exhibit until May when I'll start racing her again this summer.

Funny that guys doing kind of what we are doing with the Mustang. We are tube framing it all using basically a modern day NASCAR front clip and frame rails. Oh and we are widening the car 18"'s heh pretty crazy stuff.

(BTW tried to send you this in private message but it says you've exceeded your quota, anyways don't care if people have my cell number anyways)..

Cool! I'm about 5mins from Stevens Creek Blvd. give me a call when your in town. I only keep 1 race car usually at the house. Right now its one of my IMSA GTO Buicks. The Impala comes back in May so if your around then I can show you her. The Mustang should be done in March at least thats when we've committed to the magazine to finish her up. Then it'll be my daily driver, I'm crazy like that heh

give me a call when your in town
