[Spits] 1976ish Spitfire for sale, Lake Forest, CA - $1800

[Stephen Hurd]

My wife has finally prevailed upon me to sell me Spitfire.  I haven't 
drove it for almost a year and a half now and haven't done any work on 
it for at least eight months.  Some health expenses have cropped up, so 
I can't justify keeping it anymore.

Anyway, on to the details (pics link below)

The door plate (and registration) claim the spit is a 1976, but the 
engine number and bonnet suggest is it a couple years older.  No 
overdrive, electronic ignition, electronic fuel pump (oddball one 
mounted on the firewall) Weber 2bbl carb.  Soft top is pretty much dead 
but the frame is good zipper on the .  Dash was "custom" when I got it 
and I haven't finished fixing it... the wiring is a mess.

It doesn't pass smog due to a missing EGR valve.  The headers that are 
on it have a mount for an EGR, and it wouldn't be too hard to dummy one 
up, but the intake doesn't have a coupling, so it would need to be 
drilled and tapped for a proper mount.  No EGR, but it's not a 
California car... though it was smogged as one in the past.  Monza exhaust.

Yes, blows some oil out of the dipstick.

Four new tires and brake pads (one rim leaks air slowly - about 2 weeks 
to flat).  New stereo and speakers, but I'm not sure if I know where the 
faceplate is.  It comes with a new set of engine gaskets (top and 
bottom) and an original carb, intake, flapper, etc. as well as a pair of 
u-joints and some other misc. parts.

There is a custom towbar which mounts to the front bumper.

I drove it regularly for about a year with no major problems but lots of 
minor ones.

Once I get all the information together and take a few current pictures, 
I plan on listing it on Craigslist for $2000.  As with everyone else who 
has ever sold a spit, I have more in it than that.  :-)

I'll sell it to a list member with $1800... it would be better if you 
come look than have me get the details together for an email or phone 
call, because when I do, I'll be listing it on CL.  I'm in no hurry to 
sell, so when I do list it, it will be at least a month before I go with 
best offer.
