Royale RP-3A

The car in the photos was mine, chassis number 3. I bought it from Hugh Kleinpeter and restored it to the condition that you see in the photos. I loved that car.

This is not true..... I also own serial # 3 and it looks much the same as you show in the pictures. It is also for sale. The car I pictured is serial #1. You are mistaken.

Joe, take a look at the dash from my Royal RP-3A. If you can zoom into the chassis tag you may notice that it says RP-3A-3. That's what was in the log book when I purchased it from the late Hubert Kleinpeter and the tag in the photo came with the car. Isn't it possible that you are the current owner of my car? Someone is mistaken. I wonder who.

Sir:

Take a look at the dash in my photos of Serial #1. Serial #3 has a starter button on the right side and the car has no starter relay. The starter button is the same as floor mounted starter buttons from the 1940s and 1950s. Furthermore , on #3 the tach and all of the other gauges are mechanical, not electrical and the tach is the original Royale mechanical tack.
#1 has all electrical gauges and the tach is not the original Royale. The starter button is on the left side of the dash and there is a starter relay.

Why don't you and your father come up and visit. See your old car made pretty much new by me. I will make you a great deal as I need more room to work on other projects. Call me. 410 849-3209

I'd love to. It's a good thing that I don't have any room for it (4 cars in a 2 car garage currently)

I will show you how to fit 7 cars in a 5 car garage. Come up and see the car. I am only 2 hours from Richmond. Call me.

I drove down on my day off to look at these cars. The preparation and condition of these cars is as good as anything I’ve ever seen. Even Agnifilo would say “Damn”. And the asking price is beyond ridiculous. Half the price of a Titan and just as competitive. And imo, a better looking car. Chassis #1 is still available.

I love this model, truly one of the prettiest FF designs ever with the nose air outlets! It's too bad I have a budget for project and orphan cars and not beauties like this one!

I think #3 is prettier. Hope it keeps the "Last Open Road" decal.

Both pretty to me! I'm glad I'm short of having this amount of money or I'd have to have two Vintage FFs!

Thanks. Couldn’t keep waiting on the PRS and this was just to exceptional to pass up, especially after John bought the Titan. Parts coming your way. Probably wouldn’t have bought it I’d I stayed in Texas. That’s what I get for going to NY, and getting a day off.

Well consider it a present to yourself for voluntarily stepping into the epicenter of this insanity and trying to save some lives Dr. Baribeault

That’s not a race car. That is a piece of art. I WANT IT!
