Dear Listers:
Due to a recent back injury (fractured vertebre) I have decided to abandon
my Spitfire project. It would be at least a year before I can get back to
it and I'm paying way too much for storage to have it make sense.
I'm asking $1500, pretty firm at this stage. Note that this includes many
new parts such as a new Robbins Top, Wiring Harness, Dash Overlay and much
more. Would also consider a trade of sorts for something driveable.
Buyer will be responsible for coming at getting it all, you must take the
whole lot, I'm not interested in splitting it up or parting anything out so
don't ask. You'd need a couple of loads in a uhaul to take it all away.
Nothing is rolling. Everything is located in San Francisco, near Golden Gate
Park.
Email if interested or call 415-831-7082
Here are the details.
1964 MK1 Spitfire chassis, blasted to bare metal and POR15'd outside,
corroless pumped down the rails. Sandblasting revealed a crack which needs
to be welded, frame is straight (has been measured).
The 64 tub is pretty much toast after a firm hit in the front but has
everything on it.
Spare 1967 tub, blasted and primed and had Corroless pumped down the rocker
panels, needs bodywork and prep for final painting. Sandblasting revealed
lots of bondo in the back end which will need a fair amount of work.
Spare 67 chassis, suface rust, seems solid.
1969 engine running well when removed from car.
- has downdraft weber conversion and crane electronic ignition.
Several spare heads, rocker assemblies, various gearbox bits, generators,
waterpumps etc inherited or accumulated over the past six years.
3 rail tranny, needs rebuild (I had planned on going with the Toyota
5-speed).
used low mileage diff from 71, likewise rear axle and hub assemblies (new
uj's), and new swing spring
Koni front shocks and competition springs
1 inch front bar - this car handled like it was on rails - except for the
back end - to be solved with the swing spring upgrade.
front end rebushed a couple of years ago
all the chrome is in pretty good shape, have spare rear bumpers
spare hood, no rust but dent in side, spare GT6 fibreglass hood (doesn't fit
that well but worked OK - pretty light)
seats are from a 71 I think - tightish fit in the tub but much more
comfortable
that the earlier ones
steel wire wheels (although at least a couple should be replaced)
many new parts for installation - including new convertible top, bosch 50+
amp alternator conversion, new bushings, gaskets, etc. etc
papers are clean, have title for both tubs, you can probably choose to have
the early black plates (NIX 365 - pretty darn cool) or the blue ones.
Main jobs to complete
- remove console? panel from 64 tub and spot weld into 67 tub (wood dash and
all
gauges in nice shape)
- bodywork, bodywork, bodywork, prep, prep, prep - mostly in the rear plus
usual nose damage, turned out there was a lot of bondo back there
- move everything from the 64 tub to the 67 tub and you're done (simple
right!)
Regards
Mark Sinclair
