Free '65 sprite in good condition... Eastern PA

I have a '65 austin healey sprite that is free to whoever hauls it out of my fathers garage.

Car was bought and running about 95/96 or so, then me and my father went for a spin around the block in it, went to the gas station and at the pumps, some iddiot backed into us, crushing the passenger side fender. Since it was registered as a daily driver, the insurance company totaled the car. We drove the car home, and have driven it since that same year after the accident. The car is white, has a 1098cc engine, smooth case transmission and knock off wire wheels. I just need it gone out of my parents garage.

It was parked and put up on jack stands with the hopes of doing a restoration on it, but we never got that far. I took off a door I believe(to repaint, and install new seals), bought a brand new left front fender from moss motors. I removed the dash that was in it, the previous owner made one out of 3/4" plywood. I bought a correct dash at carlisle, as well as have 2 sets of seats for the car, one for a '74 sprite, and one for a '68 sprite. There are parts that came off a parts car that will go with the car, such as a non-running '68 sprite 1275 engine. I might have a ribcase trans as well, I'm not 100% sure what is an is not there anymore.

I should have pics up by wednesday evening, I need to take some photo's of the car.

my email is digdug18 at yahoo dot com if your interested.

So wish I had the time to drive.

does it move under it's own power anymore? How far did you take it apart? How far could it drive?

hmmm... The email doesn't want to work. I'm trying to contact you though.

sorry, its digdug18 had to edit my post, my numlock was off

sorry, car isn't at my house, actually at my parents, in ottsville, pa

Talked to my father, since its at his house, my mother has placed crap on all 4 sides of the car, he is saying we need to wait until next weekend to get rid of the stuff around the car before moving it. I'll repost in 2 weeks when its ready to go..... Andrew

Hmmm.....three hours, four minutes....

I will even help dig it out. Right down the road in Chalfont

I am contemplating it at 13 hours 50 minutes.

don't let a silly little thing like distance deter you, I have gone a lot farther for a lot less.

You are killing me....

I thought you were going to send me those pics awhile back, I'm still interested, like I expressed in our emails.

Killing me smalls killing me!!!

I am wholesaling all my projects or I would be interested.

Supercoupe, I haven't been able to dig it out enough to send anyone pictures. I haven't heard from you in awhile you told me you were getting your truck fixed, then heard nothing.

Uh oh...you're only 25 miles from me. I have a minivan with a tow hitch and a tow dolly. For the sake of my marriage, please don't post pictures....

OK, I have to ask, cause if I can convince the other half... Has the engine been started since '95/'96? Are the dash and seats currently out of it? What else is out of it?

truck's fixed, let me know when it's available to get, I have a few events coming up, but if I'm around I'd like a shot at it.

dash is out, seats are out, engine is still in, has been sitting since then. Though I'm 90% sure I could get it started with the help of some wd-40. So 2 weeks or so and it should be cleaned around enough to get it out of there. But will be waiting 2 weeks to clean.

Good this gives me time to put U joints in the truck

Let me know when it is ready to travel I have a spot picked out for it.

oh my god I'm so sad that I missed this. The state tax money I just got would have paid for the trip up there and back plus the uhaul car trailer rental. DAMN

2 weeks school will be over and I love British cars. I will find out if I can get a trailer and truck to drive up there.

14 hours away.

I live close enough to get it, and pretty close to Armagh, PA as well. Hmmmmmm

PM sent.

I can come and get it. I need a project to work on with my son and this sounds like a nice one.

Did this not change hands yesterday????? Here or on the CM site? I mean, is it still available?

nope, still available, as stated, my father needs to clean all the crap around and off of it...

Pics to follow.
