Looking for an IM Roadster

http://intermeccanica.com/athi...al-air-cooled-s.html

Saw this one.  Beautiful, but really not into the yellow and it seems like it would be a pain to repaint as the piping on the seats wouldn't match a new color.  I would love to be able to get a custom one built from Henry. 

Here's great deal on an '87 Convertible with tube frame in Boston for $15k.  NOT MINE.

You might be onto something, Wolfgang. Now....if you know, would a tube frame IM about this vintage imply four wheel disc brakes and electric roll up windows ? This looks like a Roadster, no ?

it was deleted by the author.  Sold?  Looked great and the price was super as well.  

How about a nice Speedster?  I know of one that will be for sale very soon.

Strange SAMBA Ad still up - selling on CL can be a pain with low ballers and no shows.

Definitly sold, spoke with the owner who said he had take a deposit.

Thanks for the follow-up.  Not so much on the Speedster.  I'm 6'3", so it can be hard to see out of a Speedster.  Like the higher windshield and windows on an IM Roadster.  

Daryl, Stan Galat has a IM Speedster and he put his seat basically on the floor.  He is tall and has a looong torso.  Here he is heading out for the West on Sunday.  That said, I am barley 5'9" and had to have Henry raise my seat in my Roadster 1.5 inches.  So a Roadster just may do the trick for you.  

Sat in a few Roadsters and fit like a glove. And IM's are the best.

This car is advertised as a "period correct" car.  I can never understand why someone would pay extra to get the car as "period correct" as possible and then paint the car in such a period incorrect color.  Obviously this corvette color has some sentimental value.  But if you are going with a color like that you should plan on being buried with the car or expect to come down significantly in price.  My 2 cents.  I personally think that the non-metallic period correct colors are the most beautiful on these cars.
