Hey all, I'm new around here but not new to the LBC world. I sold my beautiful '71 BGT about 6 months ago and I need my LBC fix again. I drove here around Las Vegas everyday for the last 3 years... EVEN IN THE SUMMER! AHH! I am in the market for just about anything and I've taken a liking to early spitfires.
Here's the low-down or down-low on this spit. I made an offer to the seller today for $3500 and she is thinking it over and the more I think about it, I should be offering less. Please help me out with a realistic market price right now. I also talked to her on the phone this morning and she doesn't seem to know much about the car in general, only how much her ex-husband paid for it. Mechanically she has no records of what has been done. The car didn't run when she bought it, then got it running and "fixed" the clutch... whatever that means. The license tags are expired, which means back fees. The car does look amazingly solid and very original.
"Car is not running, I think it just has a dead battery. It has 3 different tops, I am anxious to be rid of it, and regain my garage. $4,500.00 or best offer. Paid $5,000.00 for it in July of 2007. "
"Okay, I took these pictures this morning. I tried to start up the car
this morning. It's not the battery, it seems that the fuel line may
need to be drained, since it has been sitting for quite a few months."
Ok, here are some pictures
