Complete fiberglass body only. Includes hood, doors, trim, and windshield.

Nothing else.

No, you can't drive it home. No, it won't buff out.

Engine? Chassis? Suspension? Interior? Trans? NO.

It's just a body. Would make something different to drop on a C4 chassis, a cool shop ornament, or a nice salad bar at a Motorsports themed bar-b-cue joint.

$300. I will help load.

Albany GA 31721

Good God Man, you are having the most interesting yard sale I have ever heard of. I can't take care of what I've got, otherwise, I'd be heading south. Best of luck on your purge!

I WISH I could call it a purge.

It's more like just scratching the surface.

I have a lot of stuff. I need space.

not entirely serious bad idea time. I assume there is no title with the body eh? So I couldn't drop it on a certain bastard child I have here and make a weird street legal bastard child out of it ;)

You are a sick pup.

You seem to forget I live in GA.

I got you a title for the YfH, didn't I?

Between the 3 of us, I'm sure we could come up with a tragically sick idea.

Heck, this body could easily load in a trailer ABOVE another car.

You mean I couldn't just strap it to the roof and drive them both home?

Unfortunately I lack trailer, although I have the dolly, but that wouldn't help with the Lotus body. And I'm not quite ready to make that drive in the 66 F250, the fuel costs alone would be more than having everything shipped.

Just to further my stupidity and dreaming, what's the wheelbase on an Elite?

97.8 inches. A stretched Miata skate would do it. Get started, lad !

I wasn't thinking streched miata skate. I was thinking of making this "street legal"

Simplify and add Eliteness.

I can't believe that I just spent my 1000th post on that.

It seems really wrong to throw a Lotus in the trash.

How 'bout it, Jim? LotiLizard?

Hey man shoot me a dirty cell phone/Craigslist worthy photo of what's sitting behind your shop. Because googling lotus elite returns pics of a car I very much want

I'll send you something this evening.

Make sure you are googling 1974 Lotus Elite. There was a completely different body style for the 1957- 1963 Lotus Elites.

I sent some pics to spinout007. Hopefully he can post them here soon.
