for sale

Price: US $75,000.00

Description:

This Rally Fighter rolled out of the Local Motors factory in Jan 2013, with about $15k of factory-installed and aftermarket upgrades. It was also the car used in the Jay Leno’s Garage episode, which you can view online here: here
I am the original owner of this car, and have owned it for the past 2 years. I have driven the car in the dunes/desert (as it was intended for), and I can tell you that it does perform. The only shortcoming that I found was in the transmission cooling. The stock configuration wasn’t enough for the dunes, so I added a heat exchanger, another transmission oil cooler (with dual fans) and extra hose/coolant…..which made the transmission temps bullet proof….even when it was 100+ degree outside.
I have also put urban and highway miles on the car. Despite being an off-road machine, it handles well on the road…..the wide wheelbase and torsion bars allow for high-speed cornering. The 50/50 weight distribution and the “industrial” power steering system offer feather-lite steering. Parking is no different than any other SUV or full-sized truck. There are a few blind spots around the rear of the car, and you’ll need to rely on the rear camera, but after you get a few miles under your belt, it becomes second nature.
The technical specs and performance capabilities of this car speak for themselves. However, the next owner of this vehicle will need to prepare themselves for the publicity that this car attracts. The car has its own paparazzi…..literally, someone takes a photo or video every 1-2 miles of driving…..and it’s the talking point of every parking lot, garage, carwash, etc.
This car is titled and registered in the state of North Carolina, with a state-issued ID #NCS96535.
