New [to me] 62 Sprite

[fabmandan]

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, but I've been looking around for a while. Yesterday I bought a 1962 Sprite. It's very straight, has lots of new parts and surprisingly rust free. Oh, it doesn't run yet, but it's been sitting for quite a while. I'll get it there. I only paid $500.00 for it. I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions. I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure that part out.

Welcome, Dan. Does the Sprite still have the 948 in it?
You'll find lots of support here. I've been messing with the things for over 40 years, and there are others here with much more experience than I.

Check here for ways to add pictures.

I think it's a 948. I don't have the car home yet, hopefully next weekend. I have a receipt from 1967 for boring the engine .040.

Where's the car at now? I'm only about 30 miles NW of Clawson.

I like the wheels. If only I could find any like that over here! Nice straight looking car, at least from the pics. Congratulations.
And yes, unbelievably low price for such a good looking car!
