I knew I recognized the rig, but the previous owner's name was slipping by me. It shouldn't have slipped by me since we both have the same first names... It's tempting for sure and I've seen it follow many a buggy at AOP.

850hp Trail Rig with triple bypasses! Our trail rides are vastly different.

100% accurate there. Body looks raisined but bones are in great shape.

It was really clean when it first rolled out of the Huffmans Fab shop. If I remember correctly it then full rolled on the 1st or 2nd trip out. And then it was all downhill from there.

I knew those Sundowners were heavy, but sure are nice too.

I figure most everything in this price range will need some tweaks (wiring, clean up, panels, etc). As for preferred rig type, that seems to change with the wind. One day its a weepow Sami with some body; then the next its tons, some body panels, and small V8; then the next its weepow tube...

I noticed the pricing in that thread was all over the place too. I was shocked by how many possible rigs got posted in just 24 hours in the FaceSpace thread. Got several rigs sent to me by forum members after yesterday's weekly email went out too.

Agreed on it being a rare bird. If it was only a manual trans truck (not sure if a manual trans was ever an option in the cat-eye body style or not) it would be a super duper rare bird.

I wondered where that rig had ended up. I'll show it to the wife tonight and may be back in touch.

After the race is over, I'd imagine a bunch of the racers will load up and hit the road. So I'd advise getting there early and walking around the parking lot /pits area to check out the rigs pre-race.

Sounds good. I figure whether I end up buying something listed in this thread or not, maybe someone else will find a rig they want as well.

While I'm not going to the race, generally the racers are pretty approachable/friendly and will let the kiddo and you look all around the buggy and ask questions before the race. Some will let the kiddo sit in the seat(s) for a bit as well. Just wander around and see whose...

Will do. As of right now, I lean towards not going, but I know as it gets closer to the race date I'll start leaning towards going.

Jpwilson, cool looking Sami rig. May be back in touch once we figure out what we are actually looking for rig wise. Chevycrawlr, I've looked at that rigs listing a few different times, but a little too far north of what we are looking to spend.

How long and what is the weight of that trailer?
