Re: Electric 3100

The Target market is the more money than sense club who think that they have to have the latest and coolest what ever the cost. The same guys who pay 20K over sticker to buy the latest Corvette special edition or Mopar Hellcat. The ones who park in Rolex row at Goodguys and have "reservations for dinner" rather than heading to the cafe where most of the other rodders go. I was at a Gooodguys show a few years ago with my 51 Merc and this fancy tow rig with a very fancy enclosed trailer pulled in next to my camp trailer and the guys in it opened the back up and there sat a nationally famous at the time show rod. Neither one of them owned it, they were the paid crew who hauled it around the country to shows, prepped it and set it up so the owner could fly in on the weekend and play street rodder and most likely collect another trophy on Sunday before he flew home and they got ready to haul it to the next show. Nice guys who were both making more money hauling that car aroundd than I was teaching full time then.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
