You take the cabs off to tune them?

And then leave them off?

Where are they?

Doesn't say they are included.....no rust, but he welded new sheet metal OVER the rusted out floors......

Still, for $400.....

Why would anyone spend $400 on that when for another $375 they could have this:

A little rust mort, coupla cans of Krylon, tube of vinyl repair, some chrome polish, spray the taillight bulbs red, and you'll be all set on that one.

You'd have to take along a case of fix-a-flat to drive it home.

You want a bigger laugh, look at the 72 Midget on the Atlanta CL. he wants 499.00 for it now but it started out at 1000.00.

I like the boot lid hold-down mechanism on that one.
Two spare tyres.

This one has the spare carbs missing on the other one!
Plus, this one is FAST!
They had to add bonnet hold-down pins to keep it in place!
You get a nifty Confederate Flag front license plate, too.

Helluva deal.

RB '73, pretty rare, although that's a Union Jack license plate not confederate, so that's cool.

that's not the car I was talking about. look at the 72 on the Atlanta CL, the car your showing is the good one.

The first sprite we had in the family back in early 70s had hood pins installed, why because the first hood flew backwards at 55mph on to the windsheild. very hard to see around the hood to drive.



Replacement hood had "hood pins"
