Hmmm, Is that a Penn State address I see? Go lions!!! That's where I went to
school. The football games were always a blast. Guzzling cases of pony
bottles of Rolling Rock at the Ratskeller(sp?) afterwards while carving our
initials in the tables was a good post-game celebration. Is that place still
there? Anyway on to the LBC stuff. I have a GT6. It's currently sitting
waiting for a rear end, but it's a great little car. I use it for commuting
and it has plenty of power. Mine has 115,000 miles on it still has the
original engine. However, the tranny and rears are the weak spots. I never
saw one before I moved out here (CA). I guess they rusted away in a lot of
places. They made a Vittesse which I think is the same chassis as a GT6 but
different body and smaller motor?? I've only seen them in my Haynes manual.
Maybe some neters can enlighten us on the Vittesse. I like the spits too,
mostly the chrome bumpered models ('73 and earlier???), especially the early
models. I guess the best of both worlds would be a Spit6 conversion. If I had
the time, I think that's what I would like to do. Anybody got a spit body they
want to donate? Read the blurb on the GT6 on hoosier as someone suggested, it'
s very interesting. Happy reading.
