So he takes me to the back of the shop and whips off a canvas cover underneath of which was a complete, dusty Spyder 550. Then he pulls another cover off an engine stand and there was a spare engine for it!
No pics of course. So don't believe me if you want.

I believe you - wanna know why? I have the same story from approx. 1988/89 as a kid. The shop was Coachcraft 25 miles from Charlotte, NC. I still can't believe I don't have photos of it. The owner found the car in Canada half buried in dirt. At the time I saw it, restoration was half complete. They had to fabricate a hood for it. I would give my left nut to know where that car is now.
