Perfect start for $2017?

This has been parked outside a thrift/antique shop for at least the last year. I've driven past numerous times and just presumed they used it as a sign/attention-getter.

Love those... No clue on the weight but likely a rocket without too much hp?

Stock, they're about 2400 lbs. My LS1 powered one is...2400 lbs. Lots of weight in the front and rear suspension. The front control arms look like they were designed by an 19th century ironmonger. It's possible they were.

Has it been lighted by tin worms?

No idea on this one, but if you(or anyone else) is somewhat serious I'll try to stop by and check it out.

I'm guessing you could sell the knock off wheels and spindles from the parts car for a good chunk of change.

That depends on if they are actually still good or not. But the rear axle housing at the very least should be ok and helpful for a wire wheel swap.

While wire wheels pretty much improve the looks of any British car (especially the round tailed Spitfires), buying used is often a false economy. I have a set in my storage building to prove it.

Just checked these out...pretty sure "free" is still 2x too much for the pair.
