1970 Triumph TR-6 Additional Info:

This is a PARTS CAR. The frame is rusted beyond repair.The car will be sold with a bill of sale only.I was saving the drivetrain in the hopes of findinga TR4 and making myself a TR250 clone. However, simply have too many projects and not enough time nor space. All exterior panels have rust. If you have some welding skills, ou can likely save all four fenders, he hoodand the doors. However, he trunk lid is completely shot. The inner fenders arein fair condition. The complete drivetrain and suspension is present and the engine does fire up. Three of theoriginal wheels are good but one has rust around the valve stem opening. The rear bumper has a rust hole in the center section, ut remains useable. The front window frame is good. The front bumper isrusty and weak. The car has flat tires, ut all axles are free and roll. Also included but not pictured is thefuel tank andspare tire cover. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT SOMETHING, HEN ASK FIRST. The wheel dollies are NOT included in the sale.

I am an early VW fanatic. It's pretty common knowledge that us VW guys tend to be cheapskates. But I have to say, ou Triumph guys make us VW guys look like high-rollers. I listed this car based on the selling prices of the larger parts that are still on the car. During my research, found an engine with no carbs or accessories sold as a core for $445. There is also an engine currently listed for $975. The wheels typically sell between $50 and $100. The transmission sells between $150 and $200. The differential sells for $100+. Perhaps some folks are unaware of the fact that eBay allows searches for sold items, hich really helps one develop a reasonable idea of what things are worth. So when 15 people are watching the auction and I get an offer of $200, f which $60 goes to eBay and another 4% goes to PayPal, t just shows me that Triumph fans are indeed tight wads.

I have been parting out this car over the last few months and was planning on stripping it to the bone, elling every last little bit, ave for the drivetrain. However, recently brought my 1950 VW home from storage after years of collecting parts and am finally ready to start rebuilding it. But with 9 other VWs here, pace is getting tight, o I figured I would just sell the Triumph whole and get started on the '50. If the car doesn't sell by the end of the auction, will continue parting it out.

02/27 - I found the radiator today which appears to be good and also included in the sale.
