I'm also considering the purchase of an older SPF.
Has the Trigo knock-offs and 3,500 miles on it, but I haven't gotten it up on a rack yet to see underneath.
Seems to drive and run very well, although I went over a set of nasty RR tracks at about 15mph and the front end of the car shook (the cowl didn't though). Body panel fit seemed very good however.
Are chassis parts harder to find for the older cars? That worries me, but I'm not sure I should be.
Also, how can I tell if it's got a limited slip rear end? I don't know if they all came with one, and the owner mentioned something about Ford Thunderbird rear end parts on the car. I understand turning one rear tire and seeing if the other spins in the opposite direction doesn't work with a Torsen setup.
Will also check for the updated shock mounts.
The owner let me drive it for quite a while, and it was more fun than I thought possible.
:-)
