Greetings, Fellow Listers!

 

My ongoing financial meltdown seems to be continuing unabated, which forces
me to once again try to sell my Spit 6 project.  I've put it on the list
before, so it may sound vaguely familiar to you.  Included are just about
all the basic parts needed to build the car.  A '71 GT6 chassis, suspension,
brakes,  and drive train, a VERY clean '76 Spitfire tub on a rolling Spit
chassis, GT6 Mk III bonnet and doors with glass, windshield glass, trunk
lid, radiator, gas tank, high back seat frames, grill, serviceable bumpers,
Spit heater box, wiper system components, quarter valances, front parking
lights, tail lights, , side marker lights (bad rubber), standard gages,
steering column, steering wheel, GT6 wiring harness, soft top frame, front
spoiler, dash support bracket, and a rear top shock mount bracket designed
by and purchased from Joe Curry.  Things that I know are missing include the
wood dash, brake lines, transmission cover, soft top, carpet, seat covers,
foams, door panels, cockpit trim, fuel gage sender, and body seals.  Some
other minor things may be missing, I just don't recall.  I will include all
of the parts I have left over from stripping the GT6.  Not sure exactly what
is left, but you get it all.

 

General condition comments:  The donor GT6 came from Nevada.  The engine ran
when I bought it, but has been sitting since 2004.  I pulled the carbs off
at one point, and have to find the box they are in.  The donor GT6 had new
calipers, clutch slave and clutch MC when I bought the car, but I'd plan to
rebuild them now.  The chassis outriggers were damaged at the ends while
removing the GT6 tub, so plan to replace those.  The rest of the chassis
looks good.  The bonnet has stress cracks around the latches, but looks good
otherwise.  The doors are solid.  The Spit tub has a slight crease in the
left rear wing behind the wheel about wheel height.  One rear axle hub is
missing - I borrowed it for my son's '72 GT6.  Plan to evaluate the brake,
clutch, and suspension systems, as well as clean, paint, and otherwise
restore all other components prior to re-assembly.

 

The Spit tub has a clean Minnesota title in my name.  The tub and rolling
Spit chassis, along with some of the other parts are currently in Mankato,
MN.  The GT6 chassis, engine, transmission, front and rear suspension
assemblies and some other parts are currently in Oklahoma City.  We are
relocating back to Minneapolis in the next 2 months, so those parts will go
to storage in Mankato at that time.

 

Now to the bottom line.  I'm asking $1000 for the complete setup.  That is
about what I have into the project.  I won't separate this stuff.  It goes
as a whole or I'll keep it.  I can help some with delivery, particularly if
you live near I-35.  But since I'm unemployed, I'd like some money for gas.
Feeding the F-150 Triumph Support Vehicle isn't cheap.

 

That's it.  Thanks for reading this far.  Please contact me off list if you
are interested.

OKC, but not for long.
