Triumph : TR-6 1971 triumph tr 6 with overdrive
$21,750
Burlington, Illinois
1971 Triumph TR6 convertible with overdrive, restored over the past two years and now recently completed. I purchased this car nearly two years ago and began what became a significant restoration process. Much of the car has been either repaired, replaced or otherwise restored to original condition. It had an electronic ignition unit that I left intact, as it appeared a recent upgrade, and this is virtually the only non-standard functional feature on this car, other than the addition of a J-type electric overdrive unit which is more durable than the original A-type unit. Improvements, replacements, restorations and repairs include (but are not limited to) the following:Rebuilt engine, to include replacement block (old one was cracked), new standard size rings, rod and main bearings, ground and lapped valves, head resurfaced, new hoses, new 12-volt battery, battery cables and battery blanketNew radiatorNew headlights, chrome headlight rimsNew door and trunk locks, keysNew heater coreNew custom built 3" diameter steel dual radius roll bar that does not impede the vision of the driver's rear-view mirrorNew fan shroud, fan beltsNew motor mountsNew stainless steel exhaust pipe and stainless steel mufflerNew carpet New seat upholstery, to include foam and fabricNew convertible top along with new vinyl top boot to dress up the looks of the car when the top is down (which should be most of the time)New windshield with sealNew red line tires, including spareRebuilt transmission and added a rebuilt J-type electric overdriveNew clutch disc, new throw out bearing, pressure plate resurfacedRebuilt speedometerRepacked all greased fittings, to include front steering, front wheel bearings, rear CV joints, new rear end gasket, fresh gear oilNew hydraulic inline rear shock absorber conversion kit, new front shock absorbersNew transmission and driveline PVC tunnel unitsFresh 'signal red' exterior paintToo many minor components replaced to mention (the restoration file is approx. 2 inches thick with receipts, diagrams, etc) While I have endeavored to return this vintage European sports car to original condition, a few minor components may be of slightly different configuration/design, but the intent was to keep it original looking, and I believe I have achieved this goal. The frame has been repaired at some point prior to my purchase of the vehicle at the pivot point on the driver side trailing arm, in addition to a few other places, and is solid. The previous welder, however, did not replace the trailing arm bushing bracket as far up on the frame as should have been, as that would have required removal of the body to access that point for correct welding. Accordingly, this bracket is approx. 1 inch too low, but I have added coil spring spacers to bring the car back into level, and I don't believe the geometry of the trailing arm has been affected to any significant degree. Also, the idle once the car has warmed up runs at around 1200 rpms, which does not really affect the operation all that much, but to many this may be an annoyance that would require both Stromberg carburetors to be rebuilt. The carburetors run perfectly fine throughout the performance spectrum, so I have left them as original, with only the diaphragms and gaskets being replaced on both units. No manner of warranty is offered on this 44-year old car, nor any guarantee of any kind. Sold strictly on an 'as is, where is' basis. To the seller's knowledge, however, this car has been restored to a high degree of mechanical operation, and should perform admirably under normal driving conditions. Additionally, NO PERFORMANCE CLAIM OR WARRANTY ON THE CUSTOM DESIGNED ROLL BAR is stated or implied. This steel roll bar has been welded by a professional welder, and is bolted to the car's frame using (8) 3/8" carriage bolts, and will probably (but not guarantee) increase the likelihood of surviving a roll-over accident over the previous design of the car without any roll bar whatsoever. I highly recommend, however, that the ultimate purchaser not roll the car over at all and put this custom-designed roll bar to the ultimate test. It is a convertible, after all, and getting involved in an accident that results in the car rolling over is going to be rough on the passengers regardless, roll bar or no. Please only submit your offers with intent to purchase. Once your offer has been accepted, it is a binding contract. Down payment of non-refundable $1500 deposit via PayPal must be made within 48 hours of the accepted offer or 'Buy it Now' function having been selected. Balance of the payment will be due within 7 days of the closing of the initial sale date via whatever secured means that guarantees the seller full valid payment. Release of the car for transport will not occur until all funds are secured and verified as valid within seller's bank account. No exceptions, sorry. If you wish to use a wire transfer, please note that buyer will be required to pay ALL of these transaction fees, to include those by both sending and receiving financial institutions, and these fees are exclusive of the purchase price. International buyers are welcome to submit offers. I will assist in the shipping if possible, for additional fees, to the point of debarkation or export (west or east coast of the U.S.).
