I'm a little skeptical of this 1500-dollar limit. Just to make sure it really is on the up-and-up, I will give 1500 bucks cash for the Spridget in as-run trim and condition. Phil Ethier Saint Paul Mi

You are arguing against yourself. The guys that put 600 professional man-hours into a Spridget are the guys that are trying to turn it into Formula 1. They should be willing to sell it for the 1500 b
