Vehicle Detail
1960 TR3A. Recently acquired from original owner who is no longer physically able to restore it. Last registered in 1987 but said to have been sitting outside, covered, for 30 yrs. Complete the best of my knowledge, but very rusty condition. Engine does not turn. Brake and clutch pedals do not move. Floors rusted through. Gas tank is probably salvageable. Car does roll and steer. There appears to be no major body or frame damage. I am selling this car for my dad, who also is unable to restore it right now. Car is what my dad calls a basket case. It is all there, to the best of his knowledge, but in baskets/boxes. Picture of car intact was taken at original owners house. My dad took much of it apart to assess the project. That is when he determined it is more work than he can physically commit to right now. Fenders and body parts not shown on the car are included. I will be adding the pictures of the parts by Tuesday, or they can be seen on the car in the photo before they were removed. Original owner said it has about miles on it, but odometer may not work. Please ask questions, and I will get back to you. Car is sold as is, for restoration or parts. If car is to be shipped, please make all arrangement with shipper. The car is in Long Beach, CA. On Apr-09-13 at 17:09:39 PDT, seller added the following information: said to have been driven about 50,000 miles. Has all four hubcaps.Radiator, transmission tunnel (covers transmission). Has bumpers. Windshield-the glass is intact and all the brackets and mounting hardware are in boxes together. One hood hinge is broken. Not shown in photos are the seats, fuel tank, and spare tire door. These items are wrapped in stretch wrap so they can be stored in the house. They can be unwrapped if requested. The fuel tank does have rust holes in it. Also not shown are the headlight buckets but I do have them. Also existing is a soft top frame and an aftermarket hardtop, in poor condition. There are two side curtains, in fair condition. The tops of the SU carbs are missing in the engine pictures. I DO have all those parts, they can be hard/expensive to get. On Apr-11-13 at 12:46:27 PDT, seller added the following information: About the soft top---the car had the hard top on it when I got it, so the hardware to hold the soft top frame on was not there. The soft top fabric was not there. The photos show the top frame secured with clamps. The frame is in the correct position.
