New Roadster Owner in SF Bay Area

Post by bikermike »

Hi all,

I am the new owner of a 67.5 SPL311. I'll post pics in the coming days.

A bit about my roadster:

- Numbers matching - odometer reads 72,400 miles

- The body was restored in 1997 by the previous owner and painted the original 666 color. The black interior was redone in 1998

- The engine, clutch, brakes, front suspension were all redone in 1992/1993 at about 70k miles.

- Everything looks pretty much stock except for an early 90's cassette stereo.

I'll be posting soon with questions I have. I look forward to learning from the community as I start my new adventure.

Welcome! That looks like a real nice original car. It is always best to buy one in the best shape you can, unless you like to work on them as I do. :D

Thanks to all for your responses.

At first I did want to to buy more of a project car, but right now I don't have the space or time to devote to a major restoration. I'm sure I'll learn a lot keeping this one on the road to help prepare for that future project.
