Here we have a retro version of an LS swapped Mazda Miata... Or perhaps a poor man's AC Cobra... At some point in the 1965 Triumph Spitfire's life someone decided to add a tilt front end to it so the could cram a V8 into this thing. Which V8? Why not a light one!? They chose a 300 CID Buick Lightweight V8 from a 1964 Wildcat/Skylark. Incredibly, these powerful engines weigh less than 500lbs full of fluids with accessories mounted thanks to an all aluminum top end. An automatic transmission and positraction round out the rest of the drivetrain and these 185 tires have a difficult time putting the power down to the pavement. The builder didn't tub it with a 4 link or anything, sticking with the motto "traction is the cheapest thing you can break". It's got a brand new battery and Holley carburetor to ensure the next driver some easy years ahead. The interior is simplistic with leather tilting race seats, a roll bar, a GPS powered speedometer, and some retro Stewart Warner analog gauges. There is a rollbar under the black padding, but hopefully you never need it. A snap on top is in the trunk for rainy days, but with the little traction it gets when things are dry... this may be more of a fair weather beast. Financing is easy and trades are welcome. Call, click, or come by today!
