Spitfire Junkyard Find, Spitfire 1500 I think

[1965_MGB]

Greetings All,

Today, while at my local junkyard, I came across a frame and running gear of what I think is a 1500 Spitfire. From the pics it looks like it has and OD transmission. I was hoping that someone could let me know if what I am looking at is a spitfire.

Also, might it be worth it to pull the transmission?

I can't help with what it is, but I'd nab that OD. Just the angle drive for the speedo cable is likely worth what they'll charge you for the whole gearbox.

Get a screwdriver in the shifter hole and pry it into neutral, if the output shaft can move at all, and the price is less than a 150 bucks, grab it.

sure looks spitfireish to me.

Pretty darn sure that it is a Spitfire frame and is most certainly and OD tranny.

I agree it is a 1500 Spitfire OD. Grab it and the drive shaft.

Grab the trans, drive shaft, and maybe even the diff... Heck, may as well grab the suspension bits too...

...or just ask to take it all? At worst, a good Sawz-All will make quick work and small pieces of the chassis if too rusted to save! :wink:
