I would take it but I am afraid that getting it to AZ would be a deal breaker.

The poor unloved little beast!  This is a car with a lot of history here in the Midwest, raced long and hard with Midwestern Council and SCCA.  When I last saw it, it had a reasonable paint job on it and some updates to the roll bar.  When the roll bar was updated, the welder’s helper “cleaned up” the original bar by cutting off the tab that had the SCCA number on it, but that could be replaced.



I’m presently (not) working on my dad’s GT6 racer, trying (not hard enough) to bring it back to the track, or I’d take it back and make it go again.

Hi everyone!



Well, my hopes for this little guy have not been working out (wanted to get a group of youngsters together to wrench on it to put it together and autocross it when done, so they could learn general automotive, wrenching, discipline, car handling and competition skills), and it needs to go to its next new home. Thank you so much to Jason (and Scott) for the opportunity, but I will now pass it along gratis to the next person who would like to take a stab at it. (Now I need to go find what I did with those log books...)



It is located in central Ohio - please email me directly if you are interested.



Thanks!



Susan       :)

The time has come to let this project go.  This is the (1965?) Spitfire that I picked up from Scott Barr a couple years ago.  I've made close to zero progress forward on it, and I need to open up the space in the garage.  There are log books going back to the late 1960s.

Includes 10 gal fuel cell with new foam (July 2018). I think the differential is a welded 4.1

no engine or trans.  It is rolling around on stock spitfire axles.

Located in Amherst, Ohio.  Bring your trailer, I'll help push it up there.
