Going around Lotus circles: For Sale: 1976 Lotus Elite. I bought the car in 1987 with 11,000 original miles. I put about 2,000 additional miles on it before the engine lost a main bearing. With the engine out I decided to pull the body. I stripped the frame had it treated in a hot alkaline bath then painted with imron. Since then the car has been stored, at first inside but for the last few years outside. There is no engine, the interior including the dashboard and trans have been stored inside. At this point I am willing to take any reasonable offer. Contact ....

Don't know where it's located. I can give you the email of my friend who got the email and he can put you in touch. Dunno what he wants. I'm gonna ballpark value at five bills or less. There is one of these in Kiwiland with a 1uzfe in it. A 3SGTE would be way cool too, and even slants the same way as the 907 that was in it. Some of these came with a Toyota gear box, but I dunno about this one. If I wasn't terribly project poor, I'd go for it as a DD because the dog would have a back seat to ride in. However, I think three Loti is enough to keep me busy.

My nephew has a spare LS1 in his garage. More accurately, in his father's garage...
