The SpitBird is up for sale. As much as I like this car, and it is a hoot to drive, and will be even more once someone fully sorts it out. It turns heads like crazy. In the end, its just not quite my passion, the time this requires to make it right I would much rather spend on my e28 or another project I have in mind.
Posted up high on CL to see what people will say, but for people around here... Well, it's on this thread so I think you have an idea of the price. ;)

Does it come with spares/extras to get budget down? It's running on the Ford ECM or the MS one?
In reply to Stampie :
I'm impatient in my old age. Texted you.
In reply to Stampie :
If you decide to go for it, ill help you with fuel if you drop off the truck...
So is this going to be the latest addition to Team Stampie?
In reply to Indy-Guy :
It's the latest car to catch my eye. We shall see if it joins the clan.
We need to know more about the BMW in the background

Will try to get a list of spares included this weekend. Running on a Ford LA3 ECU.
(Me and Stampie already talked about this, so just for everyone else’s reference.)
Team Stampie decided that we're not ready to jump into the deep end of the pool yet. One day we might grow up and play with the big boys.

Trade fodder. Best I can do right now, too many cars and too little cash in the bank.

To GRM peeps, yeah. Asking more elsewhere.
Hmmmmm. How much do you want for the race tires alone?
In reply to Greg Smith :
I don't have anything else to leave the car rolling on for the sale really, so they're kinda stuck with the car.
May we hear current highest offer, sir?

I believe the current highest offer is a trade for a canoe.
