#35 GTS for sale

[jrz1]

Bought this about a year ago, got it set up, fixed up and engine rebuilt and haven't had time to run it on track. Kids just got into karting (and I got myself one to run with them) so time won't be getting any more plentiful. Thus, it's for sale before I even take it on its maiden voyage....

Asking $28.5K

Where is the 18" Wheels that come with the GTS cars? Where did the paint scheme come from???

Think 18" wheels were option not std equip for this year. Have 3 sets of 17" wheels including ones on car. Think others are BBS wheels as well but can't recall and they're in storage so can't look right away.

Car was previously owned (sold to me) by a company that ran executive ride programs and I think the black/silver/red was their color scheme but I could be wrong there. Was going to have it repainted but when I decided to sell I figured I'd let next person pick colors. I didn't like the red and black either. I would have painted orange and blue..... (Oct 30th not that far off!).

I know, it's good and it's bad all at the same time. But it makes them one of the best deals out there today. (IMO)

Got decent deal when I bought it. Just looking to get out what I put in. May find time to drive once or twice in the mean time. I've seen a few pricier GTS' out there recently. Feel like this will be good value for a safe, reliable and cheap to operate track car. Should be pretty quick with rebuilt motor too...

Agree on paint job. Was quoted less than $2k to refinish as long as relatively simple color scheme.

I was actually looking at this car last year when it was on e-bay. Missed it in the auction and wound up with another GTS.

I think the values are all over the place based upon condition and the buyer.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks. We'll see. Haven't had time to list anywhere else yet. I'm sure it will take some time to sell given limited market.

Going to pull a flyer together here shortly but would like to try and move this so I've cut the price some. It will go on ebay and other sites at Thanksgiving time when I have a bit more time to screw around with ads. In the mean time if you know anyone that wants a great deal on a GTS with a fresh motor, let them know.
