[Spridgets] For Sale... the red thing.... is $10, 000 a fair price... I'll go from there

[Rick Fisk]

Hi Bill,

Your car sounds good, but......in my humble opinion no Spridget with rust in the usual places is worth anywhere near $10k.  The mods and upgrades you list are great, but rust repair is the biggest, toughest, most expensive pain in the butt on these cars.

I bought this one last year for $1,500.  It had problems and took a while to get running reliably, but the rust repair had already been done.

Rick
