Spitfire 1500. Odometer reads 64,500 miles. Clean title in hand.
Has various modifications from stock including a Weber 32/36 carb,
header, exhaust system, luggage rack, Panasport alloys, and a
chrome front bumper from a '79. In addition, the car has had the
seats replaced along with the door panels. I've also added a
vintage Momo Indy steering wheel which feels great along with a
RetroSound stereo which has Aux and Bluetooth.Runs cool and starts
right up even in hot weather. The carb was just recently added.
Also has electronic ignition which makes the car run wonderfully.
Alternator has also been rebuilt and charges well. Brake system has
been completely gone through with the addition of braided brake
lines and a new master cylinder. Doesn't burn oil and idles smooth.
Clutch feels good and it shifts well. It's a very easy car to drive
and everything works including lights and gauges. Corners well and
is an extremely fun car on twisty roads. These are remarkably easy
to work on and the simplicity makes fixing issues very
approachable. Also, parts and information on these are available
everywhere.I have very little information on what went into the
cars restoration but know that it had a repaint and an engine and
trans rebuild. Axle U-joints make some noise and and so does the
differential. Paint is by no means perfect and has a few chips
which I've included photos of. Windshield has a small chip. There
is some rust peeking through in the rear door sills which is in the
pictures. Drivers side floor pan also has a very small amount of
rust.The car comes with an extra engine with 40,000 miles. Also had
a hardtop that would need repainted along with a modern gear
reduction starter that just needs some installed.
