Accelerate Mpls

My buddy Bob found this *ahem* clearly modified 1971 Ford Mustang on eBay. I’m going to dump this into the, gee that looks familiar category.

Back in November of last year my buddy spotted a nearly identical car. I posted about it calling it a fail. Since that time my outlook on certain things has changed, and this is clearly a win.

Since November, it seems she has lost the bright orange paint, and looks to be sporting new exhaust tips. The seller does describe the modifications in the listing.

He says the only bad thing on the beast is a new headliner needs to be installed, which he has a new one for you. Oh, and the stereo has been removed. You’ll have to bring your headphones with you if you want to listen to Highway to Hell as you go tearin up the streets in this bad boy.

The starting bid is $10k, and apparently no one wants this fine piece of amazing.

That’s right, you read the title correctly.  No, this is not a dream.  The man – the legend – Jack Baruth, has put his Porsche lime green Audi S5 up for sale.  It is currently on eBay for those that are interested. This fine piece of sexy is nicely optioned with a six-speed manual transmission and Tuscan Brown leather interior.

Not to mention, there is the Audi navigation system package, technology package, carbon inlays and the Bang & Olufsen sound system.  Yes, I would love to own this car!  This car (correct me if I am mistaken) has participated in many track days, including the Cadillac CTS-V challenge with Bob Lutz.  This, my friends, is a piece of Jack Baruth history.

Someday it could even be a collectors item (no promises on that though!).  Do not let that bit about the car participating in track days scare you folks.  Mr. Baruth is a very very very very skilled driver.

He knows how to handle a car around a track, and I assure you this gem is in good condition. This car will get you lots of attention (did I mention it is Porsche lime green?!).  If you do not like attention……well than this car is not exactly for you.

I know what you are thinking, why is Mr. Baruth selling his S5 that is so awesome? Well, it sounds like he has been dreaming of a Switzer P800.  You can check out the eBay listing here, and it has more pictures to check out.  Last thing, who has an extra $49,995 laying around I can borrow?
