I never even noticed the price..

**Dude! Sweet!** · 03-19-2009 07:44 PM

I emailed the guy a month or so ago (don't recall the price being on it) a month or so ago... no reply. Not that I would have bought it, so maybe he's smarter than I am!

I'll bet GLH is kicking himself for buying Drambuie now.....

**FastDonzi** · 03-19-2009 09:45 PM

Soooooo, Is one side painted different than the other???? or is it two different boats???? It's a Fukin legend in disguise either way,Cause You could never tell it was a record holder, unless he meant like albums or CD's-45's maybe.

**glassdave** · 03-19-2009 10:08 PM

maybe he was going for that P-29 Scarab look or that TwoFace poker run boat

Ya know your right he really didnt say what record it held

Most consecutive days on wood blocks?
Least amount of functioning OEM parts?
Most rain water ever held in bilge?
Largest mushrooms ever grown in cabin?
Held fourteen years of leaves from surrounding trees before owner noticed?

I'm sure the list goes on

This Mirage was a topic on oso last year, back then it was FREE. Then it went on ebay, sold for about 150.00 but then it went on craigslist for more $$$$ last year, must not have sold, now its back on. We called on last year, it was to ruff . I had a Mirage in the 80's and I have one now, there a GREAT boat but I would pass on this one.

I watched my buddy do a burn out in front of the shop in his big block Chevelle when he was moving it into the paint booth. He was sitting on a milk crate and fell off when the car hooked... That was AWESOME!
