I put my back up motor and put a set of stock carbs together and put them in the car.

Stock Carbs - not great or even good but they work

Unfortunately the gearbox worked on the jackstands but will not go into gear while the car is on the floor. If I get a chance, I’ll try another gearbox.

Battery is not included.

History of the car: From my understanding Dereck Chima built the car for Vintage. He sold it to Will Speed who raced it in SCCA SEDiv. Will sold it to Hap Waldrop who raced it at the 2005 Runoffs at Mid-Ohio and finished 11th. I think there it was one of the first LPHP cars built. I bought the car in October 2010 and raced it from 2011.
Reason for selling: I tested my old car at Bowling Green and I was well pleased with how it handled. I’m switching back to my old racing Sprite even though this chassis is better than my old car. It is more sentimental than anything. I’m also thinning the Spridget herd at my house.
