Make that 3! I really like the lines of the early Spits (although the MKIII
front bumper spoiled the look of the front), but I'll never give up my '77.
I prefer the front fenders without the big seams on top.
If I had room, I'd pack up the truck and head for Orland Park IL.! Only about
4 hours from here. (even for an old truck), rent a trailor one way and find
somplace else to live when I got home.
My wife just doesn't have the same passion for LBCs as me.
Thanks,

Right behind me, eh Jim?
I love Spitfire 4s and MkIIs (think the Mk IIIs are a bit lack
luster)-*but*-there is something about a 1500 that is just so absolutely
beautiful!
I guess we're the 2 oddballs on the list!
