I’m selling my 2008 Turbo, Intercooled, King Sand Car (KSC Car #72). The first owner (S.M.) ordered and had this car built in 2008. It has every option Brian King offered and then some! This is number 72 of ~ 80 cars Brian King built. He implemented all the latest reliability and performance upgrades. Brian’s background in sprint car racing translated into the design of his sand cars. This car has incredible acceleration (Turbo) and was designed to drift/slide in the sand.

I bought the car in 2014 and have made numerous upgrades and I’ve enjoyed driving this car for the past 12 years. My time in the dunes have changed and I have decided to sell this car and pass it along to the next owner who wants to have a ton of fun and thrills in the dunes.
I’ll share how another KSC owner once described these particular cars. “If you like to performance drive.. drift, crest, transition, and otherwise scream through the dunes at top speed with your hair on fire and a grin full of sand do your research. I have friends with all sorts of different Hayabusa powered cars. We all admire the King cars for how well they are built, but mostly for how incredibly well they handle in the dunes. The King is the undisputed best handling car in the dunes. I love all the Hayabusa cars for different reasons, but because I like performance driving, I bought a King.”

My drive time (engine hours) per year has been light and have averaged 12-14 hours per year. I drive this car in a manner to have fun and yet ensure the long-term reliability. Over 80% of my drive time is at St. Anthony’s Dunes, the remaining time has been at Glamis. The car is always stored in my garage year-round and covered. I don’t know that you will not find a more meticulously maintained sand car than this one.
I’m Asking $19,500 or best reasonable offer. Absolutely no trades. For inquiries, call or text Mark at 2 zero 8-360-7150
