Ok... Here I go again. I've located a very original 73 Spitfire, faily priced, with overdrive. A perfect rolling restoration! My plan is to buy it next weekend from a forum member 400 miles away and trailer it home.
Now I'm being tempted by a 79 (has to be smoged, nonoverdrive) very clean Spitfire locate 30 minutes away. My guess is that the seller will want more money, but I'll take a look at it this Saturday.
My question.. is the 73 smog exempted vehicle clearly more desirable? All thing being equal, which one would you buy? The easy purchase or the long drive? The Spitfire will be drivng a good deal on a freeway. Is overdrive on a Spitfire just nice or a necessity? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
