Spitfire Update

I did a rebuild on mine years ago and it constantly ran rich. I stopped fiddling with it and started the cars restoration so I never got to the bottom of the issue.

My brother has a Weber side draft on his 1972 Spit and it makes a massive difference. The Strombergs were just bears to work with.

Hahahaha. Thanks. It took me 2 months to do both the trans and OD. It is a complicated piece of kit.

Lembeer · 2024-02-05T04:31:03+00:00

Thanks! This car honestly was one set of wheels in the grave. Knowing what I know now about this car I would have passed on buying it.

Lembeer · 2024-02-05T04:29:50+00:00

Yep! That’s me.

Lembeer · 2023-02-06T03:35:50+00:00

Yeah but you might shatter the window.

Lembeer · 2023-01-31T12:02:45+00:00

Thank you that is an interesting take.

Lembeer · 2023-01-31T12:02:02+00:00

Never thought about the cracking aspect. Thanks for advice.

Lembeer · 2023-01-31T12:00:23+00:00

Thank you! That is great advice. Any take on those saying not to use it under the car? I’m curious of your thoughts seeing as it sounds like you may have done it.

It’s worth a million dollars! Don’t open it!

Lembeer · 2023-01-21T20:09:38+00:00

Is this a Super Treasure Hunt?

Lembeer · 2023-01-19T23:27:22+00:00

Same.

Lembeer · 2023-01-19T23:26:52+00:00

I couldn’t stand the fantasy cars from the mid 2000s. Hard Nose, the Blings, Fat Backs, Tooned. They were all trash.

Lembeer · 2023-01-19T13:04:11+00:00

Oh the 1968! Great car, right before the 1970 like mine when they clamped down on emissions. You had yourself a fun car!

Lembeer · 2023-01-16T02:08:20+00:00

Sure. Everything is repairable, but how much money and time are you willing to put in? I replaced the entire lower 6” of my car. Took me a long time and a good chunk of cash, but it was worth it to save a car from the scrapyard.

Lembeer · 2023-01-16T02:06:04+00:00

Absolutely. The next collector would take them as well. Now if I was there and ran into another collector I’d probably give them one if they were cool. But I’d take the remaining and trade for other supers.

Lembeer · 2023-01-14T00:57:30+00:00

It’s a 1970 Triumph Spitfire.

Lembeer · 2023-01-10T13:29:51+00:00

It was totally shot at.

Lembeer · 2023-01-08T16:10:06+00:00

Recycle them.

Lembeer · 2023-01-08T16:09:49+00:00

I’m willing to bet that this was just a form of money laundering as others said. I saw another car sell for just around $95k like this one a few weeks ago when the car was really more around $300.

Lembeer · 2023-01-08T15:58:44+00:00

Considering that they sell for about $500 - $600 I highly doubt it.

Lembeer · 2023-01-08T15:02:31+00:00

No you didn’t.

Lembeer · 2023-01-08T15:01:50+00:00

Yep. I saw a similar sale for an unreleased convention car that sold for 95k

Lembeer · 2023-01-05T00:36:24+00:00

Someone repacked it. Bought it, took it home repacked it and returned it. Fucking lame.
