That does seem cheap.
Wonder how Glenn is doing? Lots of work went into that. GLWS, Glenn.

Used Race cars bring .20-.25 cents on the dollar for the actual parts and pieces invested in the build. Zero dollars for all the R&D, blood, sweat, labor, and failures along the way. Seems the better the car, the lower % return on investment. He has a very nice car, same chassis builder we had do considerable work on the Boss Bird. The builder has done work on many current Top fuel and Funny Car team cars. I hope Glen is well and this would be a great opportunity for someone looking for a really unique, sorted out, high end dragster.

Wouldn't the engine alone be pretty darn near the asking price?

The sad part is that Greg is right about the value of a used race car.
The good thing is that someone can get an excellent FE dragster that’s already been sorted out for cheap money. It’s a beautiful car!

He did not get a chance to run it all that much. Seems like yesterday he was posting about the rail and all his upgrades. Hope he is well, price dropped 5K just like that.

Hope all is ok with Glenn. I think people are seeing the end of racing. This is my personal opinion but slowly we have seen tracks closing over the years. Hope I don’t get in trouble for this but saw this two days ago on Facebook https://www.facebook https://www.fac...m/marketplace/. Sorry my link did not work but a member Jim Zeek 1969 GTO is up for sale for $85,000

I can tell you from experience you can't build that car for the asking price. The engine alone from hat to oil pan would be in the ballpark of the asking price. I stopped counting the receipts on my funny car when they got to $40K.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I'm pretty sure he knows what FED stood for. I think he meant that he has never seen it before. Brian, Glenn has been toying with that FED for a long time. It started out N/A, then a few years ago Glenn put the huffer on it. He's been perfecting that car for years. |

I was going along the premise that he said he didn't know about this FED, by Glenn.
I thought of that thread and posted it. What is strange is that he posted in that thread many times.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
