    I'm not completely sure what all you locost folks use from a miata, but here's what I've got to offer.

    A wrecked '91 Miata with shortnose 1.6, 5 speed transmission, differential and suspension on both ends. I think there's under 140K on the drivetrain.

    It won't have seats, wheels, top, doors or any other removable bodywork that is of value to me at the time...

    I'll also include the good radiator and fans.

    Does $500 sound like a reasonable price for that setup?

    There is also a title to the car if that helps.

    The wreck looks like this: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/reader-rides/284/

    It will drive onto the trailer (and then I'll pull the wheels off).

    Located in Columbia, Missouri, midway between KC and STL.

    Yeah, if you're looking to unload that thing, I got some trade stuff as well!

    Thanks Pete, but I'm selling off stuff to raise funds for a particular project I have in mind. No Tempest in my future ;).

    Here's what it looks like today.

    I'm pretty much offering everything you see but the wheels and the door. Trying to sell it locally for more. Just let me know if there is any interest.

    Thanks for looking! Clem

    Well...if I feel particularly slacktastic and inspired at the same time I might just yank the front out enough to put a radiator in it and give it a shot. Until then, I can't tell you.

    I was rather impressed that it didn't fold up at the rear of the floor when the QPs came off.

    ;)

    Any chance you would part with that passenger side mirror I spy?

    Sorry for the lack of reply all. I just missed the posts.

    Yes, I still have it.

    Contact me if interested.

    Thanks, Clem
