My stepdad got me a '72 Spitfire prior to my senior year. We rebuilt it best we could living in the middle of Louisiana (not a lot of Brit cars to salvage from). I still love and miss that car today and even consider looking for another one. The only thing I wish would have been different was if I could have had the overdrive transmission vice the 4-speed. I don't recall what year the overdrive was introduced, but I (personally) would start looking there.
Holy cow you're bringing some memories back Brad. I don't know whether to cheer or curse you....LOL
