And I also thought I would toss in a bonus video. (Please note there is a bad word in here…)

The year was 1911… and the car was to be the Stutz Bearcat.  But in 1911 it was the Stutz Indy 500 entry.  It wouldn’t be the Bearcat until 1914 or so (some say there were Bearcats as early as 1912).  It would be built until 1917.

It was a striped down racer for the streets.  No doors, nor windshield (except the “monocle”).  It didn’t have a roof… or provisions for a roof… or even a way to put a roof on it.

But, for 1911-1917, it was fast.  In 1912, entered in 30 races, Bearcats won 25 of them.  Cannon Ball Baker raced one from Los Angeles to New York City in 11 days, 7 hours and 15 minutes.  Stunning at the time…

  • First will be to get into more listed properties to provide an unbiased look at the value of the property.

Because of MLS (Multiple Listing Service) rules and NAR (National Association of REALTORS) rules as well as GREC (Georgia Real Estate Commission) agency laws, I have to be a bit discreet when I talk about properties. Basically, I can’t identify and talk about a property I don’t have listed without the permission of the listing agent (or the seller if there isn’t a listing agent). But I can talk about properties with my clients… So:

  • I will be creating a Deal List of properties that I think are good deals at their listed prices.

I actually have done a few of these last year. Of the four that I highlighted, one is sold (waiting for the closing info… it was pending with a date of 12/23/08 but hadn’t posted yet as closed in the MLS), one is pending and the others are still available.

I see so many properties poorly marketed, and one of the best ways to make sure that MY property listings are never neglected is to keep highlighting the short-comings of the marketing on other properties.

  • Of course, I will continue to provide my Gwinnett County Market Reports… and I will be adding specialized Lilburn Market Reports.

I have been gathering data for Lilburn for almost a year. I need all of the background data in order to provide a solid analysis of the market. You can get the numbers anywhere!.. but the numbers aren’t as important as knowing WHAT the numbers MEAN. I always try to let you know what the numbers mean… instead of just telling you that there are 457 active listings…

Shelby Charger
  • It brought Carroll Shelby back to the forefront… working with his old pal Lee Iaccoca, no less.
  • It brought high performance front wheel drive cars to the front burner in the US.
  • It helped to bring Chrysler back from the brink… not as the car for the masses, but as the “evolution” of that car.

Mine was built in 1985.  It was a Shelby Charger Turbo.

I had a lot of fun with that car.  it was quick, got reasonable mileage and was pretty competitive locally in SCCA Solo II.  Mine was black with the silver stripe.  Personally, I liked it better after  sprayed it all black… with blacked out wheels… but that is just me.

The 2.2L Turbo motor (and that 2.2 did EVERYTHING for Chrysler) put out 150hp.  It would run 0-60 in about 7 seconds… a little quicker on the BFG Comp T/A R1s or Yokohama A-008RSs that I raced with.
