I would love to have this one as a spare but I have too many projects going on right now, no space in the driveway, and no room for another engine and tranny in the garage. I am at my limit on how much I can handle right now and unfortunately need to pass on this one.
I talked to the owner. This was his HS Car and he drove and younger brother for many years. Both grew up, went to college and bought other cars. This one has been in parent's garage. They used to start in on a regular basis when they came home to visit. Eventually either battery went out from lack of charging or gas went bad. It did drive into the garage on it's own power but has not run in 3 1/2 years. Here is an opportunity to acquire not only a 5 speed but an A14 engine that will drop right into a Spridget and give you a 25% power increase over an A-Series 1275.
I want this one as a spare for Bugsy III project but if I ever get to that project he will have to do with a rebuilt smoothcase with zero hours on it instead.
Ping me if you want contact information as I have been in touch with Seller who is currently living in NY. Title is missing somewhere so Bill of Sale only. Offer $400 cash and you can likely take it home with you. I just wish I had time to take this one on.
PS Bill M has a pile of or used to have a pile of 4 speeds. Get one from him, swap out trannys and resell the car. Good luck.
