Seems over priced but it looks really good in my opinion.

Up for sale is my 1976 Triumph TR6. This car is loads of fun to drive! I get honks and thumbs-up every time I take it out. Everyone has a story about an old Triumph they used to have.
Location: Mount Prospect, IL 60056 Price:$9,900
I purchased the TR6 five years ago (7/2010) with the intention of building it into a summer cruiser as well as an autocross vehicle. I do drive it in the summers, but have yet to autocross it. I've always wanted to put it on air and slam it too, but wanted to work on the mechanicals and reliability first.
Motor fires up and runs very strong. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears (4-speed without OD). There is little to no rust on the frame (the car was Ziebarted from the dealership in '76). It currently has ~74,000 miles on it. The suspension is brand new front and rear with upgraded components.
The below list was completed during my ownership of the car unless stated otherwise:
Front suspension: Custom adjustable upper control arms to dial in caster and camber RG Goodparts 1" lowering springs (with polyurethane spring packs) RG Goodparts Nylatron bushings GAZ race shocks. UK spec'd Brand new ball joints Brand new spindles and hardware Brand new Grade 8 hardware Sandblasted, rust proofed, and repainted all suspension components Sanded, rust proofed and repainted the frame
Rear suspension: RG Goodparts 1" lowering springs (with polyurethane spring packs) RG Goodparts Nylatron bushings Brand new Grade 8 hardware Rebuilt lever-shocks with new oil and stiffer internal springs RG adjustable trailing arm brackets
Brakes: New master cylinder New brake drum shoes Uprated 7/8" bore wheel cylinders New drum hardware New rubber brake lines front and rear New rear hard lines
I have new front brake pads to go with the car. When I rebuilt the suspension, I checked the brakes; the pads were in excellent shape and the rotors were in spec. The bearings were repacked and the system was flushed with new fluid.
Wheels and tires: 16x8+10 Rota Grid Offroad Concave 225/50/16 Dunlop Direzza DZ102 (<1000 miles on them)
Engine: Motor was rebuilt ~9 years ago when the previous owner had it. GP3 Cam Copper thrust washers Triple Weber DCOE 40's Ratco throttle linkage Rebuilt distributor by Advanced Distributors in 2013 All emissions equipment removed (but included) 6-2-1 exhaust heater into a 2.5" custom exhaust Coolant hoses replaced in 2012 Oil changed every 3000 miles or at least every driving season New plugs, cap and rotor 8/2013 Art Lipp throttle bushings PVC valve (provides modern positive crankcase ventilation) Electric fuel pump Innovate wideband O2 sensor with gauge in eyeball vent. This is a great tool for tuning and monitoring the motor.
Drivetrain: RG Goodparts HD hubs with uprated u-joints RG Goodparts HD stud kit (Keenserted trailing arms where hubs are bolted) Polyurethane differential mounts (differential pins were in good shape with no cracks to the mounts; a common problem with TR6's) Clutch slave cylinder replaced in 2012 Trans and diff oil replaced 8/2013
Interior: Radio works, but will not eject CD every time. (PO installed) Miata seats with headrest speakers wired into radio RS style door pulls Aluminum window crank and door locks Roll bar Fire extinguisher (since its Lucas electrical...)
Other misc: Hardtop with tinted Lexan Convertible top (needs new top, but original is included) Hella 500 driving lights RG Goodparts aluminum radiator shroud RG Goodparts aluminum steering rack mounts (not installed, but included) Art Lipp steering bushings (not installed, but included) Original seats- need rebuilding (included) Original ZS carbs- need rebuilding (included) Union Jack TR6 logos for exterior (included) Bumper over riders (included) Front bumper in good condition (included) Front license plate bracket (included) Factory steel wheels with trim rings (included) Lot of miscellaneous parts and pieces I've collected over the years.
The bad: Top is original and will need to be replaced if you intend to use it (I never saw the need for a new top since this car was only used in nice weather and it has a hardtop) Motor is running rich- very easy to swap jets on the Webers Engine rear oil seal is leaking a little Tonneau cover will need to be modified to fit around the roll bar and seats if the hardtop isn't used U-joints in driveshaft need to be replaced Rear shocks need replacing. Rebuilt 3 years ago The body was repainted 11 years ago in its factory white color. The paint is rough with some blisters and chips There is rust on the passenger side rocker panel and rear end as shown Rust on the corner of the hardtop Driver-side front fender dented One small chunk out of one of the new tires from contacting fender (the dented one) (happened prior to alignment) No headliner on the hardtop, but sound deadener was installed on the roof Engine bay looks dirty because of the Ziebart treatment
If I were to keep it, the next projects I'd complete are the rear lever-arm shocks and tuning the Webers a little more. Other than that, it's a perfect driver as she sits.
$9,900 and I already regret selling her, but I need to make room in my garage for the next project. It has a clean IL title in my name ready to sign over to the next enthusiast!
