[Roadsters] 1968 Roadster needs a new home

[Mark Zitterich]

Hello Roadster list,

I bought a 1968, 2000 last summer as a restoration project.  I've been subscribed to this group since last summer and found the information and advice invaluable.  Unfortunately my job is taking me to London in April and I can't take the car and prefer not to leave it stored indefinitely.  The car came from Ohio and is in reasonable shape, and I deemed it a good start for a restoration.  The PO placed a R16 engine in it that runs well.  I started by installing a Boone EI system that has improved drivability significantly.  I've tuned up the SU carbs (had to at 7300 feet) and changed out all the fluids (oil, gearbox, differential, brakes, clutch).  Second gear synchro is going and that would be the next project.  Brakes are good.  Comes with a hard top and soft top.  I've never driven it with either up.  Gages all work but PO didn't reconnect the temp gage.  Oil pressure is just past middle (45 psi) and steady.  PO didn't reconnect speedo cable either. 
 Assume this was disconnected when engine was swapped.  I saw it while changing the tranny fluid, but didn't have the time then to mess with it.  Has a coolant leak that is either water pump seal or gasket.  Front bumper was an aftermarket thing that came detached and I have not bothered installing (needs a new mounting bracket).  Sorry for the long post, but if interested contact me by email mzitterich at yahoo.com .  I'm going to put it up on the Denver Craigslist in the next few days, but you guys seemed to be the real enthusiasts and so I thought I'd try here first.  Paid $4K last summer. Open to negotiate, but don't have to sell it.

Thanks,
Mark
