Used 1978 Triumph Spitfire/Miata for sale in West Lafayette, IN

Vehicle Description

1978 Spitfire with Miata engine/transmission. Starts right up and drives. Quick little car and more reliable engine. Motor had 60k when installed and most of the sensors, injectors, etc... have been replaced. Most all of the suspension, drivetrain and braking systems are brand new. Has the GT6 louvered fenders and hood. Did the big front bumper mod to the earlier style. Have the hard top and soft top frame. Body had a few small bad spots, but it was very sound. I put the color on it and it is not by any stretch a show quality paint job, but not bad going down the street. I also have a Subaru (non-posi) differential set up that can go in the car - stronger than the stock differential that I will sell with the car for an additional $1,000 (won't sell the diff separately).

Still needs a few smaller things addressed. New job doesn't allow me to tinker as much and need a four seater for the whole family.
