I've got a '69 Spitfire sitting in my garage needing a rebuild. You can have it if you want it. I was going to build a battery electric car, but have since lost interest.

OMG - Can you find parts for these anymore? I'd love to have it. If I had the room I'd snap it up in a minute and autocross it. If it's there when I find / can afford a warehouse your on. Thx.... Lol.

Yes, parts are still available. I even have a catalog. Come a take it off my hands. You'll need a trailer.

I have no idea. It was raced for years and then donated to a high school for auto shop class. The shop class didn't do anything with it and eventually a friend of mine acquired it planning on rebuilding it for his daughter's first car. She grew up too fast or he moved too slow, and nothing was done. The car is in the condition it was in a very long time ago.
All the parts are there, but I imagine that much work needs to be done. The engine and transmission have not turned so much as one rotation in, I don't know, a decade? This one is for someone planning on media blasting the frame and starting from there.
For what it is worth, there's no rust, all the parts are there, and the sheet metal is pretty straight. It is not completely gone, it has just been ignored for a very long time.
There is no title, so you're on your own as to those details. What do you want? It's for free.

Is it disassembled and in pieces or is it a rolling chassis? Do you have a picture?
I know it is asking a lot, but I already have one disassembled truck in my yard!

It is a rolling chassis. It is, however, in a difficult place to retrieve. My son and I shoved it up against the side of my garage. It's gonna take some work to pull it sideways so that it can be loaded on a trailer.
All the parts are there and, with some loving care and attention, it can live again. Your call.
I'll look around for a picture. It originally was red, and then painted white. Now it is pink.

Uh...just want to make one thing clear...I have no more room left...unless it'll fit in a horse stall
Chet, if you need to get it out of there and no one here takes it, I would do this...come scoop it up and ebay all the parts/etc and we could split the proceeds...I'd bet there's a market for some of the suff, and since it's apart, it'd make easier work of selling things off.

That sounds like work then
I was hoping for:
"I took it all aprt, and don't feel like putting it back together" kind of thing.
No issues.
Clint/AJ...I was just kidding before, I can make room for it (outside) if either of you two think you'll get to it before the wasps make a new home of it.

Only problem is it'd have to be in pices, or smaller than a VW ro make the turns through the gates and into the stall...
Then again, if it doesn't weigh much, we could use the loader to "dunk" it into place...be safe as all get out then, unless 10 husky College boys came by
