Trooper 519, Beautiful Car! What are you asking? Jeff

kevinkpk · 11-11-2007, 12:37 PM

I have always loved those Cragers!

Trooper519 · 11-13-2007, 09:36 AM

Thanks very much for the compliment! If someone were serious about buying it - I would probably let it go for under $20K.... you don't see too many of these around - at least up north here!

Trooper519 · 11-13-2007, 09:51 AM

What's funny about those Cragar Wheels is that someone is always asking me if I want to trade or sell them.... the thing is - they don't fit on many other cars..... I think the bolt pattern on my car is 5 on 5".... everyone else's seems to be 5 on 4 - 3/4.

Trooper519 · 11-13-2007, 09:53 AM

Once you put your foot into it and those front and rear "funnels" open up.... it sits you back in the seat! Dual exhaust sounds cool too.... it's a BIG car - barely fits in the garage! A real sled.....

Those are antiques in themselves. I'm thinking 35 years?

Trooper519 · 11-13-2007, 01:35 PM

Pretty darned close... they were manufactured in 1974! They held up very well - there's a little chrome peeling around the lug-holes..... but they show just fine. The car was made for driving - they look fine......

Showing my age, he he !

Trooper519 · 11-14-2007, 10:35 AM

LOL! Don't worry about that... I was manufactured WELL before 1974 myself!

Jokers69 · 11-14-2007, 11:56 AM

hey trooper, where in NH are you?

74 Omega · 11-14-2007, 12:04 PM

I've seen those rims and your car on NH craig's list. Any luck finding the rims you were looking for?

Trooper519 · 11-16-2007, 10:30 AM

Concord, NH.

Trooper519 · 11-16-2007, 10:31 AM

I had a HUGE response for trade - and several who just wanted to buy - but the bolt circle threw water on it. Wrong size every time. They look cool, though - so I'm not going to complain.

If you sell em, the car should go with it......................

I'd have to ask, do you have a screwdriver in the glovebox to free up the shift mechanisim when speed shifting (LOL)? Oh wait that might have been my Grandmas 60 Mercury Comet.

Trooper519 · 11-18-2007, 06:18 AM

YES.... I'll let the wheels go for $20K.... and I'll throw in the car for FREE!
