1980 Spitfire F/S

Post by 427cobra »

The Spitfires seem to be following me home latley...

This one is pretty nice as well. Decent seat, nice track, nice belly pan, suspension moves. It was under a deck that was painted. So there are drips of house paint on it.

Im going to work on it this week and get it cleaned up! Ill post more pics as it comes together. Ill be bringing it to Hay Days.

$500

Thanks!

Well she is ALIVE!

I cleaned it up a bit as the pictures show. No surprises…so that’s good! Complete with Owl key chain.. :beers;

Its not a perfect sled but would make a great foundation for a restoration or a solid rider. I went through the recoil and carb and she starts right up and idles nice.

The only thing left to do is clean out the gas tank. I’m running it off an external tank.

Ill be bringing it to Hay Days on Saturday. $500.

Money is tight right now. Market is very soft. I think we get snow on the ground people will loosen up.

I plan on going to the Belvidere Swap this Sunday. I can bring the sled there if arrangements are made in advance!

Maybe Ill just remove the track and part this one out… :bonk:

Eric
Parting that one out would be a shame! I like Spitfires and it looks pretty good. I might be interested if there was a reasonable way to get it to Minnesota.
