"A lot of the Listers I know about have a lot more $ into them than that but you never know what folks may want to sell them for. I already got a couple responses back but both were indicating something like $75K. A lot depends on what was done to…"
I was watching a show the other day on the Carrera Panamericana and something flashed by the screen and I had to rewind a bit and watch it slowly. I almost thought it was a Cobra and ignored it. Yep it was none other than our own Charles Breed in…
"Just doing a quick post to see if this page is still alive and who is still monitoring it.

"Hi,
Welcome. I started this Lister page on VRL but have had mixed results. Alot of the Lister folks I know prefer email so we keep an active email distribution list as well. I will send out an email to them and see if any of them plan on selling…"

"I intercepted the brake line to the rear, and spliced in a Wilwood hydraulic knob...an attenuator.
I run excessive pressure to the rears with the threaded rod pulled out to the left (at the pedal). I had to cut off several threads to get enough…"

"I nailed the master cylinder size (check the earlier posts on this topic for details), I can lock it readily and pedal pressure just feels so right that I don't even think about it.
Bias adjustment on the fly is not set up on my car, I have to do…"

"Nice shots, Alan.
One size up makes a HUGE difference in travel/effort. If you're at the point where you can lock 'em up, you're real close.
What are you doing about bias adjustments on the fly?
Thanks for the update."

"I forgot all about including the rest of the photos on this. Here they are."
I finally got around to posting some photos from the Coronado Speed Festival. Not the best photos in the world since I used my el-cheapo track camera but it was easier than lugging around a nice camera. If you select the link below you will see…
"Yep you have it right. It was a big jump in size but then again the caliper pistons were a lot more surface area as well over the stock configuration. Really the thanks all go to Tilton who did some good calculations to get me the right answer.…"
"If I read this right, you went from 5/8" to 7/8" up front...bypassing the 3/4"...a pretty big jump. Based on your feedback, it looks like you nailed it. Congrats.
I'm sure the pedal pressure took a huge step up, too. No problem with a shot of…"

"Well I installed the new Tilton 7/8" master and it worked like a champ. Pedal is just about perfect now that the pads are bedded in. I ran it though its paces on the track last weekend and after the first half of the first session I was at 100%…"
"Chip - Thanks for your post on the Lister group. I think that I have seen your car before, is it the only Lister- Maserati?. I plan to be in Monterey so I will try to drop by and say howdy. I met Mike Silverman there a couple years back when he was…"
"Ditto on Ed's comments.
Great results and keep them coming!
Cheers,
Alan"

"Ed - Adrenaline definitely helps, along with all the body weight transfer as you apply the brakes.
Anyway the new front master cylinder is ordered and on its way. Not really a huge newsflash but it was not exactly a simple task. Seems like nothing…"

"I did this same scenario for my Lister when I went with the remote bias lever on the dash. I had the same long pedal you described with it juuuuust able to lock 'em up with the pedal just millimeters off the floor. I went only ONE size up, and I hit…"

Thanks again. Kevin hines mentioned that completed cars are in the high $30s.
RM auctions traded an Avanti for $30m + comm. a few months ago. I guess I should have jumped then, but I was just beginning my search.
Installing my own motor and trans and minor stuff is okay by me. Just nothing very time consuming. At 65 going on 29, I don't want to waste time.
You've been a very big help Alan. Thank you Sean
Thank you so much Alan. Nice of you to respond so quickly.
Yes, I've seen the ad for the red Lister. It's located located in NY, I think.
It was listed at $60m, more than I wanted to spend.
I own a Beck Spyder and I like the car and am comfordable with the Beck/Hines workmanship. So I'd prefer to stay with what I know. I'm not looking for a screaming, exceptionally fast car. Very fast will do. And I'm thinking in the $30m+ range. In your opinion is that doable?
Thanks,

I do remember your green/yellow Beck, and have also seen buddy Scott Dames' up close & personal in my mirror at Bondurant....
