Hahaha that ok,
but thanks for deleting the double post, i thought there was a delete on this so a person can do that ?

That's odd...I live in Lincoln (a very small town) and haven't seen it out and about. Are you shipping it back to MN?

Based on what I see under the hood, it probably couldn't pass emissions tests here. They're strict in CA regarding stock carbs, air cleaners, etc., this obviously isn't stock.

Congrats on the purchase! Most CA cars have no rust. That's a huge plus!!!

i wished i have known u live there
it came from Colo. it been worked over so who know what it like now. anyways yes it going to mn , i paid 1500 for it 1300 shipping
the guy said he put in 4000 grand into it in the past 3 years but he wanted to get his vet done now instead. so i have to say I hope there not much wrong lol

i believe it sits over at flora court,

no idea, i know there 2 fans on it, and that hose needs to be redone shorter

i won't be getting the car till mid june

[Weelan]

just get a new hose there. those ridges mean there's metal wires going through there...

Jim,

He lives about 1/4 mile from me. Do you need me to look at it for you for any reason? I wouldn't mind going by if there's something you need me to look at for you. I've definitely not seen it driving in our neighborhood. I drive both of my Spiders around the area and use the main street near his house multiple times daily. I had no idea there was another Spider so close.

NO, it all good spider, i wished there was a cheaper way to get it here. but thanks , it bought and paid for so it won't matter what it is

Love those dual carbs.

The radiator and coolant tank are out of a 200 series Volvo. Likely early to mid '80s. I had the same in my 1986 240DL.

u could trailer it to utah , having a hard time getting it trucked to me, i may have to go get it. need a rotor and caliper i guess on one back wheel, he got the pad apparently

This is why I love this place.....posting ID's a fellow owner within 400 yards of the seller, and another forum member quickly ID's the obscure radiator! It is scary sometimes.
