Yes...I know...don't we all want one? Seriously though, I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount....an arm.... a leg up to the knee maybe, but not my first born. It must be in reasonably good condition, although I am willing to do some restoration on it. Hopefully within a 4-5 hour drive from Toronto. Please reply with pics. to alanp99@rogers.com Thanks..Alan  |

Allen I have a 100% original unmolested 75 F/A I want to sell.
The sled will need to have all of the black repainted.

Why does it seem that most all of the F/A's for sale are out in the midwest? Not hardly any here in the east.

I wish I could Rupprat. Right now the funds are WAY LOW! Christmas and helping kids out took most of extra cash. Maybe next year?

;D ;D Well I finally have possession of my new ride. I obtained it from Lee Frederickson. I wish to thank Bill Stull, who pointed me towards it. Dale Sloper, for his offer to obtain photos of it, and for confirming my desire for it. Daren Carlsen for building it. Rick Weaver, for the offer of his F/A. Sorry Rick, I couldn't pass this one up. I don't have any photos of my own yet. This was taken by Lee's wife Peggy in Lee's shop. And thanks also to Lee and Peggy for bringing the sled as far as Flint, MI. I will get more photos posted at a later date. ;D ;

Hey Rat: That thing is beautiful - congrats on getting your hands on such a nice example of some serious Rupp performance! I like that windshield, looks like it was a factory job, those F/A's were COLD to ride, makes it a little more practical. Good luck with your new sled! Get more pics over on the 'Rupp Riders' section!! Wig

Alan, I am glad you are happy with your new sled. I told you all the history on this sled that I know. You will find this information accurate. Any sled built by DC is going to be built right. If I remember right I actually drove that sled once myself.  |
