Custom Triumph TR7 There is a full website dedicated to this car: triumph.tikvahmarketing.com Absolutely stunning car! 1980 Triumph TR7 body, with a 231 Buick V6, 5-Speed Chevy Transmission, Chevy rear end, MKIII Body Kit, custom body, custom paint. All body work was done professionally by Black River Customs, a high-end classic and custom car builder in Northern Michigan. The body was rock-solid, fully stripped, mounted to a rotisserie, soda-blasted and primed. Every flaw smoothed, welded, moulded very professionally. The body kit was purchased in England and imported to fit this specific car. The kit was installed and then customised. Many months were spent perfecting this amazing car body. Every nut, bolt, spring, and washer are brand new. Most imported from England specifically for this car. No expense was spared. This bright yellow body is perfect, straight, and flawless in every way… with one minor exception. I put a small spec in the paint on one headlight bucket (see pictures), you probably wouldn’t see it if I didn’t show you. The full under-side of the car was sprayed with bed-liner while on the rotisserie, as well as the inside of the trunk The suspension includes new up-rated performance springs, new shocks, rebuilt brake callipers, new rotors, pads, new brake lines, etc. The steering rack is brand new from England, and all the suspension bushings are new. All suspension parts are up-rated for mild performance. The wheels and tires, including extra wheels are included with this sale, however they are nothing special. I intended to purchase some kind of wire wheels. The engine has very few hours since full professional build. Includes mild cam and a Holly 600 cfm carb. New headers, custom designed for this engine/body configuration. New water pump, new gaskets, new wires, etc. A mild performance clutch was installed. I have a rebuilt, high capacity radiator and a performance fan. The headlight motors are rebuilt with new parts from England, I have custom stainless covers for the rockers, the car body was customised to accept the custom chrome gas cap, new gas tank with new stainless and rubber mounts and new bolts. The intention of this build is a comfortable, dependable, enjoyable car to drive. It was not built for high performance, but many performance parts are used. The bright yellow catches attention from everyone who has seen it. The paint is a multi-layer paint with a white base, transparent yellow, and clear-coat. Paint codes or custom mixed paint are available upon request. Also included with this car, another parts car in great condition. Plus, I have a shed full of parts that are included. The parts car has a full interior in great condition, including good seats, and dash. The parts car has new fenders, new windshield, new engine, etc. Tons of great parts, or restore this car by itself. The parts car does have some suspension issues due to rust on the floors. I've invested thousands into this project. This car is better built than new - significantly. However, I'm forced by the changing economy and a more mobile lifestyle to sell the car before completion. The parts from England total between four and six thousand dollars. The drive-line is worth more than I want to think about. The paint and body work was almost six thousand with a deep discount. There are still hundreds of dollars of new parts in boxes with the car. You don't have to take the parts car if you don't want it. I can sell the parts separate. However, I would think it would be to your advantage to have everything. The extra parts that are not on either car are not junk. Most everything I have is usable or sellable. When you take this car, I would strongly suggest an enclosed trailer. This car it not totally complete. It still needs the wiring installed (I have three sets of wire harness) and it need the interior installed (I have a couple sets of interior). It is still a project in progress, but is an awesome project - You won't be disappointed. I'm asking $8500.00 for everything. I sincerely want to see it go to someone who will love and enjoy this vehicle. The price is dramatically below the investment. You will be impressed when you see this bright yellow car. There isn't another one like it in the world. There will never be another. I'm not seeking to trade for anything, but let me know what you have, I might consider it. One last thing, I have three clear titles with VIN plates. You can have all three and use any that you want. Thanks for looking.
