New SPL310 owner, Spokane Wa.

Post by Fetch »

Hello,
I thought I would check in since I registered a couple of weeks ago. I recently picked up a '64 310 1500 3- seat. It is a project with an interesting past and I will post more about it in your "Why did you buy a roadster" section. I have only seen a couple of roadsters around Spokane (one is a green one, looks sharp), hopefully I will be able to add another.
Thanks,
Fetch

Thanks for the welcome. I am currently taking inventory of what I have vs what it needs and mapping out a plan. As I wrote, I will post text and pictures on the "Why did you buy a roadster?" forum.

Welcome. There are a few Roadster owners in this area. I am near Pullman, others in Moscow and Coeur d'Alene. Pat

Welcome, there aren't many in this area. And to be honest, other than mine, I haven't seen any on the road around here in the 28 years I have lived here with the exception of Ted's passing though last summer.
I'm sure DROPS is a great club. Its in the same state but might as well be in a different country from Spokane.

I have seen a couple locally on craigslist, a really nice one and most in need of a lot of work, but only the green one on the road last summer. It could have been Garth's, if he was in town.
I was looking for local roadster clubs but have only found a few names. Maybe I will start my own, EW/NI DROC or something.
Thanks.
