1974
Triumph TR-6 with overdrive. Ground up
restoration of original San Diego car. Built to fast road/rally spec with
Triumph factory type rally parts. This
is the nicest TR-6 in North America with a known history. I have owned this car since 1994 and it is a
completely updated and improved car with modifications by Racetorations in
England and Good Performance in the U.S. This vehicle has travelled
approximately 1500 miles since in my possession. Over 250 hours have been spent on the
bodywork and undercarriage alone. All
original floors, sills, and removable outer and inner panels. Both doors, hood, trunk, and outer fenders
were removed, stripped and painted off the car inside and out. Body resealed and complete new rubbers and
gaskets. Frame was stripped and refinished
in semi-gloss Rustoleum. Undercarriage
completely detailed. All body cavities
treated with Waxoyl. No undercoat to
cover bodges on this car. No rust
through or rot ever. All possible frame
strengthening mods performed per Triumph factory competition
recommendations. Front suspension
rebuilt with all N.O.S. parts including control arms and powdercoated. Polybushes with Good Performance strengthened
axle and bearing spacer kit, alloy wheel hubs, vented discs with Wilwood
calipers and Koni shocks. Rear end with

Overdrive works perfectly.
Minilite type spline drive knock off wheels including spare. H rated tires are almost new. Vehicle comes with a thick 3 ring binder with
all receipts, bills, etc. This car is
the best and would cost $50-70,000 to duplicate plus a donor car. The big difference is that this was a nice
solid California car that drove well before the restoration.
