270 Offy...... My trade of a lifetime

I heard someone say "Its better to try and make history.....than collecting it". You made a good trade. Lets see it on the SALT!

 

Great trade, but I would bolt that dude down to something before it falls over and breaks that magneto off!!!

 

Bobby
Having worked on a pair of old dirt cars with offys I can relate to how stoked you must be. Very cool score!

 

Way cool but the curiousosity is killing me, give us a clue what it's going in!

 

My friend, you got the better end of that deal!!! Hell, you didn't have cars for most of that stuff anyway.
I can imagine a single seat T-modified in your future. What do you plan for induction, carbs, or fuel injection? We have got to hear that jewel run. Thanks, Mike

 

Real cool.

 

BUSTER BUILT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn you are a luck guy!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245533

 

Yet just one more reason to hate Bobby Green.

I was wondering when you'd let the cat outta the bag.

Cant wait to hear that thing run.

 

Congrats Bobby....

 

Great find, you're a very lucky man - the stuff that dreams are made of. Use it & abuse it - like it was built for

 

WIN-WIN situation : You have had your fun with that WAAY cool parts collection , and he have had his fun with that most Excellent Offy ..
You guys found a perfect way to swap both Fun & value rather than just hard Cash . PERFECT !!!!

Wow Bobby, that has to be one of the coolest trades I've ever heard about. The fact you're going to run it at the salt has me in goose bumps, I love Miller/Offy history. You're going to add to it sir!

I'd like to come to your shop and see it when you get started on the lsr project. Let me know if that would be cool.

 

Lucky man. Most of us can only dream of such a trade. And even fewer would, like you, have the ability to be able to make the trade. Congratulations on doing the deal and kudos for planning to take it to the salt. It will do you proud.

 

Will it fit under the Franklin hood?

 

Man, great job! What ya gonna mount it in????????????? Put it in a T-Bucket!!!!!!!!

 

Buster was quite the man from what I've heard. Too bad I missed talking to him about this motor by about a year. It would have been nice. RIP

Stop by anytime Mike.

 

Great find congrats... Personally I'd love to see you stick that in a vintage sprinter

That baby would be in my bed next to me and the wife would be OUT!! John

 

Way cool!

C'mon... show us the project you'll be building around this gem.

Really great score... looks well kept too.

 

Congratulations. I have had this hanging in my garage for many years. Came from an old edition of Circle track I think.

Well. considering I'm from Enid, OK, it seems fitting.

 

Hahahahaha, I've seen that bottle before, but I don't think I could ever name a racecar "The Famous Grouse"..... That just ain't right. hahaha

 

Thats probably true...

 

Double WOW another single place, and with the Offy makes this in my mind the coolest thing I've seen on the HAMB.Your doing yourself proud!!! You could name it the
Grouse,famous will take care of it's self.

 

So cool! You've got a ton of style, Bobby.
