Price: US $1,500.00 SOLD OUT
1976 Spitfire project or to part out. The car is located in Sherwood Forest, California. California car since new, 0 rust. I am the second owner. The original owner, who purchased it new, had difficulty with emission certification in 1986, so she bought another car and parked the Spitfire in her garage. It was running when parked. There it sat for the next 15 years. I have owned this Spitfire for the next 22 years. I always planned to renovate it. The car is being sold as a project and will need complete mechanical and cosmetic renovation. The clock shows a little over 41K miles. The engine is as I found it. All of the parts are present. I have no knowledge of the engineâs condition. The good news. The engine turns over. The body has NO rust, the floors in both the boot and cabin are solid. Here is a opportunity to save yourself hour upon hours of replacing rotted out floor sheet metal. Also have the peace of mind that the suspension and frame are not sketchy. The battery tray does have minor corrosion as a result of having a dead battery in place for the years prior to my ownership. The body has one small dent on the edge of the passenger side rear wheel flare,, the tip of the front bumper on the left side is out of alignment and there are 2 or 3 minor parking lot dings on the left door. As it is, the body and paint would present well as a survivor. All of the glass is in good shape. The car is complete. These parts are original to the car; both hard and soft tops, tonneau cover, car cover, top boot, owner manual, jack and tool bag, spare rim. This past week, two of the 40+ year old tires finally succumbed to dry rot, (also reminds me that time really has flown by and I wont get around to finishing another project) so the buyer will need to keep that in mind when planning transport. Its spare tire holds air and was mounted on the car, however, the buyer will need to provide one additional wheel and tire to make it a roller. The photos are a testament to the car's completeness and condition. Please contact me regarding inspection. Payment of $1500.00 is due in 3 days via Escrow.com. The car may remain on site for fourteen days while the buyer arranges transport.
