Gen 1 and 2 had the same frame but gen 1 had 250 built Engine and 250 trans. The gen 2 had fl350 Engine and coleman trans. Gen 3 had dual a-arms up front with chenowoth trans gen 4 was a little longer and had a-arms all the way around chenowoth trans and either a pilot Engine or fl350 big bore.

Looks like the rear suspension on Joe Price's old Triple E car you have more pics, it was all chrome and had 3 arms on the lower arm, was a fast car seen it beat some briggsbuilts in the past but it had a very talented driver too.

I found that picture on your web site Hoser. It is one of the few I have been able to come across of any of the gen 4's.

Thought it looks familiar I remember the added supports to the upper arms after it was chrome plated.

Wonder who ended up with that car I remember it going up for sale years ago when Joe Price moved up to the truck class?

In the first pics, looks like the hub is on the outside of the front rim?

if you look in my long travel pictures you will see a gen 4 sitting in my garage. was the car Eds son raced in district 38 desert races with a very large built rotax in it. It is curently going threw a complete frame up rebuild rite now and should be back running this winter. Ed had come to my house several years ago to look over a couple of things and told me it is over 900cc, it has a diff in the trans and is not a chenowith box, and of all the cars I have ever driven this is above and beyond the fastest thing I have ever driven!

Yeah you have to be aware of the Uship people. I had a very bad experience with this company awhile ago. Highly, highly don't recommend using them!

I know it's rusty
sorry mike is a friend who lives in California and drives up to canada where he owns property.
after seeing the quotes on uship I emailed him asking if he was doing any trips and offered $$$ for loading it on his flat bed truck next time.

im not planing on using uship for the amount of money shipping + repairs and tlc i would almost have spent enough for a pilot

it would be nice if I found someone local that was planing a trip but the search is not going well.
I might have to back down unable to find reliable transport. :(

pro pilot what did they screw up on your shipment?

If it's above Washington and nobody can drive into Canada, I can deliver it to you. I'm about 3 hours from BC.

Just a option if shipping to WA is cheaper.

Ok so here goes this was a nightmare.

I post it up, bids came in after about 4-6 days. The best bid came in at like 520 this was from Oklahoma to Vegas. First guy went and looked at it, sent me confirmation that he did see the pilot and parts. Said it was good to go he would be back to pick it up. After I believe 3 days and me calling this guy on day two then day 3 no response. Then day four I gave up. Called Uship they gave me my money back. Had it up again this time after 3-4 days a different guy has the best bid of 475 so take it. Send the money. He goes picks it up and two days later I get a call and the guy says "hey my tranny went out on my truck so my business partner has it in "storage" until the truck can get fixed." We wait about 5 days and the guy calls me and says hey not sure I'm going to be able to make this trip so you need to repost this on Uship. " I'm sure you will be able to get another bid fairly quickly." I call Uship and they are telling me "No the transporter is never to tell you to do that and it's against the rules." They said they would handle it. So I had already post it up again at this point. So Uship was going to ban these guys. And yes both of these goofballs had good feedback. So then the guy that has the stuff says "Hey, I can get this shipped to ya. And it will get their fast but it's going to cost you 700$ I'm like screw you! We have a contract that says you will get this to me for 475" The guy tells me, "Well my partner wants to get this stuff out of storage" which during this conversation I found out that its in his garage. He's like "well I have a guy called JT HOTSHOTS that is going to bring it out. Can you just pay a little extra so we can get this shipped?" Long story short the guy already set it up and sent them on their way without me agreeing to it or the price. So when the guys get into AZ they call and tell me they are demanding full payment of 650 dollars upon arrival. at this point I felt robbed and their was nothing I could do. I told them this was not the agreed upon payment. This goes back and forth for a couple hours. I called the police an attorney the whole nine. They basically said well its your word against theirs. There was nothing I could do. So I called the other shipper up and was going back and forth with him. Then called the shipper guy up that was bringing the pilot and said the original shipper said he would split the cost and I ended up paying 75 dollars more. So then these guys instead of dropping it off at my house said "Well, we have already passed up your place can you meet us at say the Excalibur. So I'm thinking, you know what, I just want my stuff sure. Driving there I imagined a big semi that had multiple items in in it. When I showed up and they were no where around. And this is how I found my pilot!

Believe me I was pissed! My after thought was I should have just unpacked it and put it in my trailer and left. But that's not the way I think so of course it came to me after I was calmed down. It was a much longer story. Than what was just described and believe me. I was really really upset. Then to top it off I still to this day have a recording on my phone. Some guy called me like a month later and said I owed an additional 75$ and that it was going to be turned into small claims court. Then the guy kept calling me and harassing me over and over. I wouldn't answer my phone he then kept calling back on a blocked number and left this voicemail of the guy singing something about "shitty credit" it's hilarious but yet enough to really piss you off at the same time. Wish there was a way that I could post it on here! I seriously still have it saved on my voicemails to this day!
