[d_valentino]

I have a chance to grow my business, so with great regret I'm selling the Airport Racer

Great look on the Bugeye. May I suggest that you add some verbiage on the drivetrain. Does it start, stop, drive good? Do the gauges work? Steering, suspension, brakes, exhaust.....you get my point. Good luck with the sale.

Being utterly ignorant about this, why does it have the name "Airport Racer"? Can you share a bit of the history of it? Great looking car and some really wonderful photos.

In 1955 and 1956, the SCCA set up a road course at the Beverly, MA airport, about 10 miles from my house:

Phil Hill won the inaugural race in 1955 in a Ferrari Monza:

and Carrol Shelby, wearing his trademark chicken farmer overalls and a pink shirt, and driving a 4.4 liter Ferrari 121 LM Scaglietti Spyder won in 1956

The entrants in the '56 race included THREE Austin-Healey 100Ss, driven by Alan Miller, David Symes, and Traver McKenna, with the best Healey finish at 18th.

If I ever get the time machine working, that's one race I would love to see.

Sorry to see it go! I was hoping that you would be able to bring it back down to Gillespie Field again now that I live here.
Enjoy your new projects!
