OFFERS ALWAYS CONSIDERED

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This car is race-ready. It needs nothing but fuel and a driver. It has been a race vehicle since the early '70s and is known by Vic Skirmants who did some work on the car in the early days.

This information comes from Vic Skirmants:
He has known of Roadster 88592 since it was first raced as well as the guys who built the car. A guy named Doug Miller was racing a Roadster back east with the group that Vic Skimants was racing with. Doug’s son Brad wanted to start racing and they found a Roadster that had rusty floors. They bought the car, started to make it into a race car and by 1973 they were racing it. In 1974, 88592 was sold to a guy named Clarence Catello who owned the car for only a short time and did not race it because he bought another roadster which was a national run-offs car from Bill Schmitt and which was already known to be fast. Vic knew this car was for sale and he had a client, Sam Weiner, a dentist, who was looking for such a car. So,Vic put Sam and 88592 together. Sam Raced the car until 1999.

Vic says they didn’t use log books back then, so he does back up Sam’s claim that he had no log books that came with the car. 88592 has been a race car since at least 1973.

In 2000, this car underwent a bare-metal, complete restoration by Emory Motorsports, McMinnville, OR.
