I really have "Too many" projects at this time.
To be "Rational" I should let a couple go and put the funds/time toward finishing some of the others.
Already building a GT6/Buick 231 V6 and T5 car.
This one was originally bought as spare parts, then I got a deal on loose body panels.
Doubt I need three sets of body panels, frames, etc.
So this Jan. 1968 Triumph GT6 Mk. 1 "Round tail" is up for sale, no title but do have bill of sale naming the prior owner from decades ago.
Certainly out of the Kalifornia DMV system by now.
It is complete and mostly original except that the bonnet and bumper have been changed to a GT6+ type.
It has sat a long time and has rust in the passenger sill but the drivers side looks good.
KD9739E engine turns over but is certain to need a rebuild.
In my stash of spares I found an SU conversion setup!
Early swing-axle car, but I happen to have a GT6+ chassis and suspension that could go with it.
Also the GT6+ body that has had the roof cut off but is nearly rust free.
GT6 trans and diff's are pretty sought after as Spitfire upgrade parts so could be sold to off-set an engine swap.
Want $2,000 for all the above, can dicker for less if I get to keep some of the above parts.
Kind of planned to use the spare chassis for a Locost 7 build since I have a spare Spitfire engine and trans.
Also have a Spitfire Mk. IV with all parts but the engine is out.
Includes a factory steel hard top that needs some refurbishing.
Nevada title.
Drove it home a few years ago but oil pressure read low.
Never got around to the engine rebuild I planned.
Body is very good and as I recall rust free.
Got some dings in the top of the front fenders when wind blew the bonnet over.
Interior is poor
Engine has single Weber DCOE, I have a stock intake too.
Want $1,500 complete but will consider less without the Weber, or even engine/trans.
Also have spare Spitfire Engine with Weber DCOE and a few transmissions, might even part with the overdrive one at the right price, and a set of 13" wire wheels.
"LBC's" are getting harder to find in decent shape, I know I will regret selling these as once they are gone they will impossible to replace.
Will take pics when it cools off later today.
Not pretty, if they were I would just put them on BAT.
Should probably give a location, Gardnerville NV 89410.
Fifty miles from Reno.
Be sure to visit the ex-Harrah's auto museum during the trip to pick these up!
Wasp bites slowed me down but here are some pics.
