| Yesterday I had such a nice time hanging out with other club members at our fall round up. GREAT time, thanks to all for making this happen. Now on a serious note: Many of you know by now that I purchased Iceman's 95 Roadmaster. My initial intentions were to keep the car as it's such a joy to drive. Once purchased, I have spent nearly one grand in updates, console, fuel sending unit, fuel pump, powder coating as well as a few other cosmetic items. This care it without quesiton one of the best Roadmaster's out there. What a true pleasure to drive. This car is ready to drive to California without one thing needed. I have over 30K in receipts of work completed, nothing but the best went into the car. The LT1 has all new gaskets, all new accessories, lines, a lot of dress up items, T56 six speed conversion, rear disc brakes, 410 posi, new OEM factory Impala wheels, all new rubber, new slotted rotors and so much more that I don't have the space to list.
Car was originally purchased and sold in KY. Dealer in KY wholesaled the car to a dealer in VA where it was purchased with 67K on the clock. Now with 73K on the body and 30 thousand later she is for sale.
If the car is so great why am I selling it? Due to on going health issues the wife and I have put the farm on the market as we are relocating to NC. With the house up for sale we learnt that we need to replace out septic system, due to the size of the farm this is a very large system that is going to cost us 14K!! Just to flush a stupid toilet! I do not want to take out any loans so I have decided to sell some parts as well as the Roadmaster.
I wish for this car to go to someone that will take care of it, no winter driving, stored undercover during bad weather! Would be a shame to do other wise.
Regarding the sale and cost, interested members can email me at lfcote@roadrunner.com or telephone me at 207-221-6179. I will send Glen a few pictures and pray he will post them for me. I can tell you one thing, for what I am asking you could not come close to building any car that would match this. The selling price is nearly 70% less then what was spent.
I am unable to take in any trades as I will need cash not cars for the work needed on the septic system.
Again, thank you for viewing, wishing you all well and again thanks for such a wonderful day.
Larry

| This car is awesome!
I personally oversaw the T56 installation and am very proud of the result.
This car looks awesome, sounds great, and goes like a bat out of hell.
Buyer will certainly be satisfied, regardless of the price. | |

| And having my hand in the build of this car, I can also say it is worth every penny. No disapointments. Hell, you would be hard pressed to tell it from a new car. |

| Where this in just under 1K miles on the car since the six speed conversion and differential change I decided to change the fluids again last evening. Of course I used all GM fluids and additives. The differential was so perfect and clean. For the differential that is the third fluid change, twice on the tranny! Nice to work on a vehicle that is so clean underneath as nuts and bolts come off like they were installed last week. | |

| For about $300.00 extra I will deliver this car on the east coast as far south as Parris Island S.C. That will cover my gas, tolls and bus ticket home. Besides I like driving this jewel and I can visit some old Marine friends while there. | |

| So far there is one individual out of Ohio that is really interested in the Roadmaster. He is now working on the money issue as everyone is. Told him I could not go one cent lower and he realizes what is invested in this car. I am hoping it sells fairly quickly so I can get the new septic installed without borrowing money. I am still pissed at how much money you have to spend just to crap!! Larry | |

| The Roadmaster is going to a new owner in Bradford MA tomorrow afternoon. Very happy as the new owner is relocating to VA so the car will go back home. She is going to be a summer car. Larry | |

| On one hand good to hear it sold. On the other hand i was kinda hoping it would'nt sell and you wouldn't desert us for warmer climes. Either way it's still gonna take a while to install the new system and sell the homestead.So you still get to honor us with your presence,for a little longer. Will you think of Ron's roadie every time you crap ???????? How about a 6 speed shift knob for a flush handle. | |
