Still trying to sell my roadster

For Sale: 1968 SPL311 with 2L and 5 speed

I've put the roadster on a web page with photos. If you're interested, go
take a look:
http://home.inreach.com/stockdal/roadster/

Lots of new items, including:
Shocks, brakes, clutch, hydraulics, tires, paint (white), hoses, carpet,
lamps, exhaust, battery, large Z alternator, updated wiring, dash cover,
lights, etc.

Most everything has been gone through; disassembled, cleaned, checked,
repainted, re-assembled, etc.

The engine has less than 2K miles on a complete rebuild, done several years
ago, then correctly stored. The engine runs strong with no smoke. The
emission equipment is present for cosmetic purposes only. The transmission
shifts very well. There are no objectionable noises or whine. The odometer
has less than 80K miles on it, and I believe via examination during the
rebuilding, that this may be a true mileage reading.

What are the issues / problems? The OEM radio doesn't work. The clock runs
fast. The seats need to be recovered. The new soft-top has not been fitted
to the frame. The hard top needs new weather-stripping. There is still some
trim stuff, weather-stripping and interior items which need installation.
The speedometer reads fast, due to the smaller diameter tires.

I've got a bunch of stuff that get thrown in with the deal: extra brake
pads, lots of duplicate little parts, manuals, parts list, a CD with lot's
of roadster archive info, etc.  I've also got some large stuff that'll go
with the car or separately. A 2L head and SU cam, springs, valves, etc.,
front hubs with rotors, SU intake manifold, a bunch of engine parts, and a
good 5 speed with a Z bell housing that came out of a 510, but could easily
be put back into a roadster.

I'm asking $3500 for the roadster. The spares are very negotiable. Right now
the car is garaged at my house near Graeagle (north of Truckee).

You can reach me at 775-448-7213 during weekdays and 530-836-4413 evenings
and weekends.  Or, e-mail to stockdal@inreach.com.
