thats my boat on CL in hartford baby boy on the way in sept. and only have a 2 bed RM house so I am selling some toys, 89 250R honda, 86 CR500 dirtbike, 69 firebird convertible, 69 firebird drag car roller or turbocharged running 9's, rum runner, and possibly but not sure my RAIV 69 firebird one of 58 dealer sponsored drag car. not nessecarily in that orderLOL

I dont want to finance the addition I am building.
You can always buy more toys later I guess.

The other sutphen thats not been rigged is in CT ran into a few guys who knkow of it.

Its sitting in a steel building behind the guys house in DRY storage and has been there for years.

Trying to find out more info on the guy and location.
heard the price has gone up and up everytime someone try's to buy it though.

did anyone see the red and white 30 in cromwell?

Had two buddies look at it and walked away from it.

Both said it was very rough.

Nice trailer but big question marks on the power bascially a Gamble

Sutphen
 

Guy said he got it for money owed him. We also heard it was rough, Trailer is 2008, Newer motor's , Some hoses disconnected, Told us it was not able to start it! Big GAMBLE!!

I was told that a spring perch broke on the old trailer, Went right thru the hull?

Anyone else heard this story.

This would explain the new trailer. I know how druable these hulls are since we managed to destroy one just like it so I am sure it dint go all the way thru but sounded like it was bad.

This boat used to sit right next to ours years ago. looked pretty good back then but had an OLD SCHOOL look to it with the center bow rail etc.

30 Sut
Tell me about the Firebird conv.

Its a project car I bought.
I have 2 others and I always kicked myself for selling my vert when I bought my house. So after searching for a car for 6 years with clean floors and truck pan I am now selling it.

It needs some work.

But that was all I wanted in a car.
I was going to do another turbocharged 455 with TH400 and a 12 bolt so drive train wasn't important.

Its on hartford CT craigslist for $8750.00
Had lots of interest so far.

It needs 1/4's and fenders, I have (1) 1/4 hung, The other Is off the car, And I have (1) Driver side Goodmark fender.
Engine runs but the previous owner says he dumped two stroke fuel in it and it smokes. I didnt care I was gonna yank it anyway, Th 350 Is slushy(havent even checked the fluid level yet) woulda yanked that too.LOL

The money youd save in rotiserie work to the floors and trunck makes the car worth the money easy.

I have done 25 of these cars in the past.
Its a PITA to do floors and they rarely get done well.

most cars I look at are all hacked in the floors

Even if they do A patch panel is always a patch panel so clean original floors is a must when I buy a bird.

My buddy from albany just sold his 69 vert on Ebay, Rotted floors, Rotted 1/4's and fenders No motor or trans for $10,500

So It may hit Ebay this week.

His car was much worse than my car.

this is a great looking 26...

Thanks I really love the boat and hate to sell it but I gotta get the addition built.
I got 4 emails on it today alone.

We'll see ow things go.

After I get the addition built I'll just have to work twice as hard to buy another sutphen down the road I guess.

I think I would look for another OB boat too.

I was always I/O guy but I like the OB's better. everything is just easier with them , theres more room in the boat and it acts like abigger aboat with the stand off boax and all.

It will be a sad day for the whole family when this one goes away.

If christian had built that damn beach house I wouldnt have to sell it.LOL
