I do require a 1000$ deposit within 48hours of auction ending. Serious bidders only please, I will be putting a lot of effort into getting the car ready to ship and it require me taking a flight back to eastern canada to where car is stored. Please read full description FOR SALE- Unfinished 1960 TR3 project. I bought this car as a unfinished project 7-8 years ago. The owner before me started the project in 1991 and did not finish it. Hopefully the next owner will be able to finish it. I set a fair reserve on this car, considering the amount of work and having it painted cost more than the reserve. If it does not meet reserve I will have to reconsider selling it. All the metal repair work was done by a shop the previous owner had contracted, extensive repairs were done. The pictures with the body getting repaired are in a folder giving to me from the previous owner during the repairs. All correct TR3 panels were used. -Inner rockers replaced -outer rockers replaced -Drivers side floor replaced -passenger side floor replaced -There is two small patched in the spare tire well ( refer to pictured) Plus a number of other repairs were done. Engine was rebuilt with a “ Big Bore Kit” 87mm. Transmission ( supposed to be rebuilt ) I never had it opened to confirm. The car was fully painted in “ british racing green” When I bought the car, I had the body fully removed and repainted “metallic silver” . The theme was a vintage rally racer . This TR3 looks beautiful in silver. I was not going to install the front and rear bumpers ( looks much more like a vintage rally TR3 ) bumpers are included. I had the sound proofing installed in the cabin for noise and to keep engine heat from intruding into the cabin Lots of new parts installed- -High torque starter -New high quality TR3 brake lines -Front seats have been redone a few years ago. There still in nice condition but a little storage rash. -Front brake Calipers rebuilt ( new brake pads) New clutch cylinders New brake cylinders Dashboard was redone in black New Correct TR3 fuel tank + fuel lines + rebuilt fuel pump - plus many more, that I cant think of. Work to be done ( theres still lots of items that need to be finished and I am sure I’m forgetting things ) -Front seats needs to be bolts -Doors and fenders need to be bolted -New Robbins convertible top needs to be installed -front shocks needs to be installed -exhaust system needs to be installed -rear shocks need to be installed -new TR3 wiring harness is almost installed but dashboard area needs attention -door panels need to be redone -Carpets need to be installed -center vent needs to be installed -windshield lower rubber trim needs to be installed I have the owners original service booklet from the early 60’s . The mileage is correct with the miles on the speedometer ( see pictures above) Lots of New parts in boxes- Brand new robbing fabric convertible top ( black ) hardwaredoor seals panels 5 steel wheel included only have the 4 wire wheels that are installed on the car. Ect... This is a good solid project with good potential with a lot of the hard work done. Carburetors were rebuilt . Engine starts but needs carbs tuned . No clutch hydraulics or brakes are hooked up so IT IS NOT DRIVABLE . There is a few chips on paint from being in storage. THIS IS A PROJECT, A UNFINISHED PROJECT. Please ask any questions before bidding. I will help anyway I can with shipping. Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility . The shipping port will be Montreal, Quebec , Canada
