My little 850 Spider is leaving the nest. Heading to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. I’m sure it’ll get the love it’s grown accustomed to.
I'll have to make plans to go visit it. Love the Lane! I guess that means we'll have to spend a weekend in Nashville. Hopefully we'll find a way to keep ourselves occupied while there.
Wow Mark what a clean correct car!!! I'm restoring a '67 HP SCCA 850 race car now and know what it takes to look as nice as yours. My current project will be my 4th '67 Spider, all of which had original headlight glass!!! And lots of rust.... In appreciation, Frank Di Gioia
Just took another look to appreciate your car and noticed the steel hardtop mummified behind it. Is the color Ford "powder blue?"
Beautiful car. I know it’s going to good home but separation is hard. My son would disown me if I sold mine.
They made a few in 1968 that had the covered headlights and the updates that followed. 850 Supplement.pdf
Love the company it is keeping. The droptank car in the background (fuel tank from a fighter plane) and the Popular Mechanics UrbaCar right behind it. https://rqriley.com/product/urbacar-plans/
