So my cell phone died this afternoon while mowing.
I'll call from my work desk tomorrow and see. Ted is unable to come but he gave me some things to look at when looking at an older racecar.
Anything in particular you are looking for? I'll use my wifes cell to look at it.
My main concern is condition and how well equipped it is to race. There isn't a lot of information in the auction other than the engine, so I'm curious about the suspension, steering, brakes, body condition, and it would be great if you could hear it run or drive it. Pretty much the basic stuff. See if the harness, roll bar, fuel cell are still up to date, and maybe the age of the tires. I'm looking for a car that needs minimal work to be race ready. I really appreciate you doing this for me! Thanks!
at 6'4" and 300#'s I probably wont be able to drive it... :P
I'll bring a camera and see if I can take pics. going to call him now and leave my wifes number. This afternoon or tomorrow after cars and coffee would be best.

Still has the berzerkeley I believe. Just finished a Hillclimb in it a bit ago.
Prior to that was an awesome hillclimb car with a ported rotary...
Nope, that's not the Berzerkeley. How do I know? Because the Berzerkeley chassis resides on my back porch, although Ted still has the Berkeley body. 
That pic is the Megabusa, which is one hell of a piece of machinery (I drove it at the Dragon last year). If things fall through or you need other eyes on the car (I have a ton of MG nollij) I'll be up there hanging out with Ted this Thursday and Friday July 2/3. I'm thinking of moving up to his neck of the woods and we are doing recon. Email if you need us to look: 1974jh5mws at gmail
I had to back out, my son turned into a demon child this morning screaming his head off. (another molar coming out.) That and i hurt my back doing too much yesterday... so instead of enjoying this 15 degree cooler day I'm sitting on the couch whining with my son.
Tell the truth. It's hard to keep track of Ted's cars sometimes...
I may be able to get down next Sunday if everything goes well.
Keep in mind the car is not in Greenville but in Seneca. which is another hour from Greenville. (near Clemson.)
Even better. Seneca is where I'm looking, the kid wants to go to Clemson which is right across the lake.

I could potentially do it sooner. Perhaps during the day if I took time off of work, but you'd need to be serious for me to commit to that. Nights are easier but looking at cars in the dark is not easy.
Thanks guys, but don't worry about it. The auction ends today, so I'm not going to do anything at this point.
It didn't sell do you have bought some time if they relist it
i got the feeling talking to the guy that he may more than the final bid in just the motor...
If he recently moved to Seneca, good chance he lives on Lake Keowee. So yea.
Address is on Lake Hartwell. It's just as nice but even more expensive. lol.
Mostly b/c it's 30 minutes closer to civilization.
