Not my car and I'm not in a position to get it, but what a hell of a deal!

.... and why do I suspect this person's email inbox is about to explode?

 

[alfa2go]

haha! that is awesome. Hard to imagine it could be real though. I hope it is and the guy gets a great offer that makes him and the buyer happy.

 

[Funderbunk]

Yeah, as much as I'd love an $800 dollar Speciale, it would be a **** shame if the seller doesn't get a fair price for what looks like a pretty solid car, after her dad kept it all those years. I don't think I could drive it without feeling guilty.

Well, it's that rare breed, a Sprint Speciale Normale, check out the single carb. Hard to know if a scam, clueless seller, fishing, or what. A similarly nasty car on ebay was at $15,000 last I looked.

If someone here gets it, great find.

I did call. Sounds legit. I did advise of true value. They were ok with the c/l price. I have agreed to buy. I would like it if someone in the Gainesville FL could inspect for me. Anyone have a transport company they can recommend? It all sounds too good, but will kick myself if I didn't pursue it.
Cheers, Jon

Hemmings has a beautifully restored one for $89,500!! I'll go halfs with anyone on the spurchase/restore, and split the selling profits!! Of course after we split 50/50 custody of driving fun time!!

 

[spiderserie4]

for 800 bucks I'd get out there pronto and not bother wasting time with an inspection!
Someone else will turn up with a trailer and the cash and it'll be gone...!

I mean I'd prefer that blind for 800 than this for 22k!!

Good for you. FYI, there was a Sprint Speciale on the Fantasy Junction sales website last week for $217,000. Gone, presumably sold, after one day.

I bought it!

Very interesting. I talked to the seller last night around 1am EDT. We had agreed on the sale. So now this looks more like a scam.
PM me with details greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Jon

Hey! dont leave us hanging. What happened?

 

[xjspider]

i doubt its real just because of the difference in lighting between the first three pictures and the last two

the lighting for that picture is dark because its inside a shed
but the last two look like they were taken outside

notice how the paint is also shiner and it lost the straps on the fender
:detective:

Is it possible that pictures of two cars have been used to create this ad? Might the indoor shot shows a real SS, but the two outdoor shots show a non-SS Sprint normale? I'm not enough of an expert on 101 Sprints to point out details that would prove this, other than to agree with Andrew's observation: all SS's came with dual Webers.

Decided this was too risky. Seller could not provide more photos, car not with her. It may well be legit, but I am going with" if it's too good to be true........". Thanks to all the observations from members, I was looking through buyers hopeful eyes. Someone closer to FL may still catch a bargain.
