For sale is a 1971 Triumph Stag MK1 Automatic Transmission. This is a modified Stag with a Chevy Engine ( 8 Cyl) with a large cam. All lights/signals work. Speedo works. Temp Gauge works. Clock and Gas gauge and RPM gauge do not work. Cluster has working signals. It was originally White. I had it painted blue. I had the seats reupholstered and new carpet installed. The interior looks nice. I had the wood taken out and sanded down and re-stained. This is a three speed automatic transmission. The power steering has a small leak. There is a fuel cell that was installed by the previous owner to replace the gas tank. The Starter always works, but when hot requires a few turns. I was told a larger starter would fix that issue, but a larger starter would require modifications to fit. I had the engine worked on and had the compression checked out. It's good. A new Holly carburetor ( Not rebuilt.) was installed. I had a new Kenwood CD player with USB and separate speakers installed. ( see photos) I am selling due to moving and not having space for a 2nd car. I have the following receipts from 2011 This is a blast to drive, and always get's lot's of thumbs up. The car had some rust repair done, and the paint job looks really nice. I have a couple of small nicks , but overall the body shop did a really nice job. I am not a car person, but I will try my best to answer any quesitons. I would say I was about 80% done with what I thought I would complete. The convertible top needs some repairs, and the canvas and window needs to be replaced. I have the hard top, and it has matching blue color. THE HARD TOP paint job was done with the body. It looks good. It does have one missing piece of chrome, and the headliner will need to be replaced. ( I never used the hard top, it has been kept in storage.) There is some white smoke that comes out when you first start the car and I was told at some point this car would need rings/gaskets replaced/ repaired? I drive this car every weekend, and take it on the freeways and city streets without any issues. I had quite a bit of work done on this car and its all backed up by receipts for review.
