Agree with others here, it's a no brainer. Don't do a thing to it, put in on eBay ASAP, cash out.

Glad to hear you're making progress!
Lolololol. It is a lotus and next to that there is a decent early 70s Datsun 240z he's got 3 vw scirocco's with nearly perfect bodies.

That is VERY cheap! My dad had similar luck with his '76 911S. Severe hail damage and a locked up motor, but complete, for $450. Now the restoration is almost complete. You shouldn't ever pass up deals like that! Haha

And that green car is a MKIII Triumph GT6 (unless someone put GT6 doors on a Spitfire, since I can't see whether or not it's convertible). GT6s are VERY uncommon! We've got 3 GT6s and 4 Spitfires, so I know how to pick them out in a crowd.

IN WHICH JUNKYARD DID YOU FIND THIS?!?

I must see this with my own eyes. And that junkyard looks better than any Parts Galore I've been to.

Buy it, you will be able to resell the shell for way more than 200.

I spot an early Bronco back there as well. Those have gone crazy on prices these days too for one in decent condition.

I had a '74 Bronco as my first car and would love to get another one. That won't be happening any time soon if the prices keep going up like they are though, much like the 911s.

Wow apparently he has a goldmine and doesn't even know it. So you guys are saying buy it for sure even though its more than possibly a 912?

Pounce, it is easy money for parts. Guards 951, nice to see another British car guy here, I currently have a TR250, but have mostly had old Triumphs, MGs, and Healeys before branching out a little, life if short, experience all the fun cars you can.
