(2) F5R 818 for sale. What is your flavor?

[Kalstar]

SOLD....SOLD .....I am putting both up for sale. Whichever sells.... I will keep the other. Both cars were professionally built by Tom Wallace and both builds were fully documented on this forum. Lots of add-ons on this car, beautiful paint, soft top, oversized turbo.....

1). Award wining 818s (will be at the open house).
Beautifully painted, top quality show.
All the carbon bits and pieces, rockers, splitter, diffuser...ect.
K shifter
XXR wheels
Soft top
Engine 2.0 was a rebuild so only about 1500 miles on her.
Oversized turbo
Cobb and Grimmspeed add-ons
Race seats and Harnesses
Simply put.... well built and very beautiful to look at.



These are not fires sales just aggressive pricing as I have a new project coming and space is becoming limited (4 cars in a 2 car garage) Be it they are on lifts...but still. Both cars cost more to build then the asking prices. As soon as one sells the ad comes down. I am open to trades too..... if you have something that you think might interest me the worst I can say is no thank you.

[Kalstar]

Removed from market...Keeping it......818 #2. If you are looking to own an 818 but do not have the time to turn a wrench, limited space to build or you just want instant gratification this one is for you. Customize to your liking, pick a color and make it your own. Pro-built so you can trust it, add your final touches and you have a little rocket for the summer 2015. Add the new hard top and a paint/wrap and you have an all weather car for roughly the same price as the orange 818 above. Both cars though similar are very different. As I said...pick your flavor.

Here is what this one is.....

Donor build with 83K miles on 2002 donor (new clutch, timing belt and accessories all replaced).
F5R upgrade steering wheel
Also has carbon defusser and splitter.
Body work professionally completed and ready for wrap or paint.
High-end aftermarket seats.
Very nice stereo with hidden sub under dash.
Back up camera
Ruff racing wheels with new tires.
Wired and prepared for seat heaters
Cup holder
USB and lighter plug/charger
Wiper kit installed
trunk kit
Rear carbon spoiler
Professionally tuned by SMG (tuned to be a very safe but a very fun toy)

Again very well built and wonderful to look at. Will make a fantastic addition to ones car collection.

[michael everson]

You cannot build either one of those for that kind of money.
Mike

[michael everson]

Fixed my post. You CANNOT build for that money. I have about $25,000 just in parts.
Mike

[JeromeS13]

+1. These are a GREAT value.

[Joe Mush]

Anyone looking for a 818 you can't go wrong with either one of these. I have seen them both. The build quality is top notch.

[Joe Mush]

I can't be leave the little response for these cars. So here is a friendly pump to the top for my buddy.

How about a Spec Racer Ford? Thinking of retiring from racing.

[Kalstar]

Send pics please, I'll look.

[Kalstar]

Ordered the hardtop today. For 25k someone can buy the white one with the hardtop, glass and power windows installed...paint or wrap ready.

Figured I would just throw that out there.

[Kalstar]

To the top. Still available.

So the orange 818 was voted as best 818 in show yesterday at the Factory Five Open House (though I felt the award belonged to another car) many beautiful 818 were there. But the judges thought the Orange 818 was the best. So come make "Best 818 2015" yours. 25k is a bargain, now is the time to join the family.

Congrats Jim! My coupe did the same down here last week. I am still hoping to win the lottery so I can buy it back. LOL.

BTW how did you get all 3 cars there?

[Kalstar]

Tow rope, a really strong one. Congrats Tom, two wins for you in one weekend

[Kalstar]

Price reduced...

$23,900 for orange

$19,500 for white.

[JL1958]

Ugh! Such a deal and I want one, but just bought something else. I need to stop looking at this. I'm torturing myself.
I hope you get a buyer soon.

Anyone planing on buying an 818 kit should buy one of these cause you can't touch them for these prices if you do it yourself.

Really amazed no one is biting, I would have easily

[Joe Mush]

I have seen both of these cars in person very well built cars. I also am surprised no one wants one of them.

Like what has been said can't build one for those prices.

[D2W]

I'm really surprised there isn't any interest. Makes me wonder what the used value of the 818 will be in a few years when there are a lot of them out there. Maybe I can pick one up for 10K.

[Joe Mush]

I think the problem is not many people know what they are yet.

[Kalstar]

I have to say I am surprised too. With the performance envelopes of these cars, coupled with the fact these are not only track demons but they can be very docile/usable on the streets (throw it in 5th and putt around town at less the 2000rpm) I am shocked one or both of these has not found a home. Both of these cars have much more invested then the asking prices (not even including the labor to build them). The white one is an exception value, OEM harness means OBD2 port and a emission compliant car. One can still buy the white one and make it their own, their paint, their interior, their custom touches and the orange one is down right beautiful for someone that wants to jump in and drive a car that has won national awards.

Well hopefully a Buyer sees the value and can get to enjoy one of these wonderful cars.

[wallace18]

Try advertising in grass roots motorsports. They have done many articles on the 818. Their subscribers know more about the 818 IMO. I agree they are not known to most car folks. I have lots of car guy friends and none ever heard of the car or what it is. I wish FFR would do a build on power nation with one to get more folks involved in knowing the cars. Both are a great price. Some person will be a lucky owner.

New project is a 31 Model A pick up.

The GTM and 818 are rockets, I am going the other way......top speed is 50mph.

[metalmaker12]

The 818 in my opinion is a good looking very capable package. It has modern cues and should catch on. It has better performance than the cobra, and pushes at the door of the Gtm. It's modern and pretty much my favorite FFR because it is differnt and current. Prob is I have noticed it's not yet fully excepted by the FFR cobra/ datona / 33 crowd. There awesome cars guys, but there designs are classics, the Gtm and 818 and newer and current and FFR future. A completed 818 should pull 35-40 easy like the Cobras, no reason not to.

Cobra kit is 20K, 818 kit is 10K. Which kind of supports a -10K for 818's vs Cobra's.

[SnyderJD]

Wow, what a deal! that orange is absolutely smoking... If I hadn't placed my pre-order for the 818c and wasn't so interested in building my own, I would pounce!

You could rebuild it your own and make it better, not have to strip a donor etc, I would just order the hardtop and buy it dude, like 40k invested. If I had extra room I would buy it just to sell parts and build a unique 818

[Joe Mush]

Price reduced...

$23,900 for orange

$19,500 for white.

Hey Jim, You should edit your first post and put the reduced price on it. Just a thought.

[Kalstar]

Good idea just changed it. Thx for the suggestion.

[Joe Mush]

I'm very surprised know one has bought one of these car yet.

[metalmaker12]

Really no bites, very surprised none of the 818 prospected buyers are not looking into it. For that price I might have to consider since you can't build either for the advertised price.

[Kalstar]

Back to the top.

I will pay for all shipping costs as long as it is shipped in the continental US.

[JeromeS13]

Holy crap! Steal! Do you have these posted on NASIOC and any other local forums, CL, etc.?

[Joe Mush]

Now that's one hell of a deal !!

[nkw8181]

Wow! All I can think I'd that there aren't enough people who truly know what the 818 is. After it catches on I believe they will sell like gas on a race day. I'm telling my friends but do far I haven't been able to help you out.

Thanx for the help, please keep plugging for me. I agree once people know these cars and what they are capable of, the 818 will be a hot commodity for all those that do not want to or do not have the time to build one.

[michael everson]

Have you tried Ebay? I doubt many people come here looking to buy. Most are here because they already bought. Just a thought.
Mike

[Kalstar]

Good point. I'll try that.

[Franknbeans]

Well, I joined just for the fact of looking to buy one. :) Great cars man... Have any pictures of the hard top on the white one?

[Kalstar]

Hard top is not delivered yet but the car is done waiting for the top to arrive.

[Kalstar]

Finally getting some interest. Both parties are interested in the white 818 which is fine as I do not care which I sell. One is a trade but I am open to all options. Let me know if anyone else is interested before I pull the trigger.

Jim

Just to be clear. the white one can have the hard top installed but that is an extra at additional cost. The $19500 with free shipping anywhere in the US is a hell of a deal.

[Kalstar]

Back to the top.....have had some PM messages but so far both are still available.

[Kalstar]

Dave, thank you for coming out. The Factory Five tour is worth it in itself. I look forward to hearing how VT is for registering the 818. Either way 818 or 33, you can not go wrong.

[daveb_vt]

Jim, thanks for taking the time to show me both cars. Starting the research getting either 818 registered in VT. If I remember correctly the orange car has a Florida title and the white car has a Massachusetts title, is that correct? What are the descriptions for the titles year, make & model?

Factory Five tour was great especially since Tony took me on a private tour as the next wasn't for another hour.
Dave

[Kalstar]

The orange has a Florida title the white has a MSO and the donor title. Register the white one as a WRX with a body kit (half kidding here).

[Phoenixrr]

I want to buy the orange one. How do I go about doing that?

[wallace18]

Sure. PM me your email.

I new there was something fishy about that picture. Man he has a nice hot wheels collection :-)

[Buzz Skyline]

A legend identifying them all would be nice. I have pretty good guesses for most of them, except the one at the top left. What is that?

[Buzz Skyline]

A legend identifying them all would be nice. I have pretty good guesses for most of them, except the ones at the top left and the top right (I think they're the same thing). What are they?

[michael everson]

Top left is a BMW. Top right looks like a Mercedes 2 door.
Mike

[Kalstar]

Top left is an M4. Can you pick which one is the Diablo and which one is the 355?....hint they are both black.

There is a BMW 850 in there as well.


Guys remember I am open to trades.

[carbon fiber]

From top left: BMW M4 - C7 Corvette - FFR Roadster - BMW 850 - FFR 818 - Ferrari 355 - Saleen Mustang - Diablo Roadster - Murcielago Roadster - BMW M3 From Bottom Left: Viper - Lotus Evora - Lotus Evora - Audi R8 - Gallardo Spyder - Viper - C7 Corvette - Ferrari 360 - Lotus Elise - Gallardo. If I'm right, do I win an 818?! P.S. Teach the guy with the Audi how to park!

[Kalstar]

Carbon is 100% correct. Well done.

Pretty lofty buddies and the 818 fits in perfectly.

[Kalstar]

Will $22,900 make a difference?

[Buzz Skyline]

If I was parachuting down and had to pick the one I liked best to hop in and drive away based on that angle alone, I'd probably end up with the C7, followed by the 818 and the 355. The BMWs look too boring from above (except the 850), and some of the other rear/mid engine cars have odd proportions looking down. The Lotuses have nice proportions, but too much going on up front, IMHO

[Buzz Skyline]

Will $22,900 make a difference?

If I wasn't building my own, that would do it for me.

[carbon fiber]

I'd take the C7 for sure. I'm looking forward to some form of that engine making it into trucks in the future so we can get an affordable version of the first direct injection V8 from GM.

[Kalstar]

Carbon...The Red C7 in the lower line is actually a 2015 Z07. Carbon exhaust and induction gives in almost 100 more HP...like 650/650 wasn't enough.

[carbon fiber]

Yeah that's what I meant to say... Z07... Yeah that's it! It's an f'n cool time to be alive when the street version of a car has more than 100 HP over the race version.

[Turboguy]

Damn, the Evora's in the bottom row look hot.


I so want one of those.

[kimbo305]

the white has a MSO and the donor title. Register the white one as a WRX with a body kit (half kidding here).

What would it take from where it is now to get it registered, insurable, and street-legal with the RMV? I was hoping that, living in Mass already, I'd have an easier time of it than folks out of state.

[Kalstar]

Kimbo. Give me a call. 508-685-5310 I am the owner and live in MASS happy to discuss.

[kimbo305]

Kimbo. Give me a call. 508-685-5310 I am the owner and live in MASS happy to discuss.

Will do. Got a buyback check burning a hole in my pocket. Or at least my head. Sorry for the delay -- the buyback process had me in fits.

[Kalstar]

Found another car I want to buy and really need the garage space. Give me offers...............Someone will be getting a fantastic deal. I have been holding off putting them on ebay at no reserve. I do not want to do that as I think it will hurt the value of 818 sales even further, PM me if you have interest. If I do not sell on of these in the next few weeks then ebay will be the only other option.

[Kalstar]

Well the new car is on it way from Chicago. Looks like it will need to be put in storage until one of the 818 sells......

[wallace18]

You need a bigger garage. LOL

[Presto51]

Jim you can store at my house, free of charge, I'll even exercise it and put gas in it, just for you buddy

Ron

I agree guys. He is getting a great car. He tried to pay the old asking price but I had reduced the price....so he got the car... $1000 check and free shipping to Oklahoma. Great deal indeed.

Talked with your mom last week. Told her it was fate that brought Kalstar & Kalishek together as I wasn't really in market for another sports car. She had a great observation/comment that I thought would make a good show name for 818S. Should have wrote it down, 'cause now I can't remember. Dang these old worn out brain cells.

Jim:
Car arrived 19 OCT 2015 about dusk. Unloaded in dark under street light. Bit-o-Rube Goldburg to get off that tall flat bed trailer. Used his long ramps with my GMC tilt-bed open deck car hauler back-to-back. Once 818S was backed down ramps to GMC bed, used floor jack under frame to lift tilt bed level to clear rear diffuser. Front splitter scrapped ramps, but not too bad. Already got a photo shoot scheduled for son of co-worker who is graduating high school. He wants to WOW his friends with Senior photo. Thank you. Will keep you posted on how "Karma" does at 25th Annual Starbird Rod & Custom show in February.
