WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER SPENT 2 YEARS AND SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REACH THIS POINT. WE HAVE ALL THE BODY PANELS AND SOME MISC. PARTS. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS AND READ IN THE DESCRIPTION IS WHAT COMES WITH THIS LISTING. WE HAVE NO OTHER PARTS! THIS ROLLING CHASSIS IS PERFECT FOR SOMEONE WHO ALREADY HAS A NICE TR3 BODY, WANTS TO CREATE A VINTAGE RACER, OR WOULD LIKE TO TOTALLY RESTORED THE EXISTING BODY. WE ARE NOT SURE IF THE POWERTRAIN MATCHES WITH THE BODY PLATE. IT IS UP TO THE INTERESTED BUYER TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT NUMBERS: COMMISSION No: TS16530L ( 1957) BODY NUMBERS : B16657 971715 ENGINE No : TS62229E GEARBOX No : TS62275 DIFFERENTIAL No: TS17072 THE INFORMATION BELOW WERE PROVIDED BY THE RETIRED RESTORATION SHOP OWNER: 1. THE RUST-FREE FRAME WAS BEAD BLASTED, PRIMED AND POWDER-COATED. IT IS IN AN AMAZING CONDITION 2. ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED, MACHINED, AND REBUILT. 3. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND NEW CLUTCH KIT INSTALLED 4. THE REAR END WAS REBUILT 5. FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION REBUILT 6. THE BRAKES ARE NOT HOOKED UP. WE DO HAVE THE FRONT CALIPERS THAT NEED REBUILDING. THE CAR NEED REAR BRAKE SHOES,LINES, OR POSSIBLY NEEDS WHEEL CYLINDERS FOR JUST SITTING 7. THE RADIATOR WAS CLEANED 8. THE CARBURETORS WERE REBUILT. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR, THE CARBURETORS WERE SHRINK WRAPPED. WE JUST PUT THEM ON FOR LOOKS. THEY ARE LOOSE. 9. THE STEERING BOX REBUILT 10. STARTER WAS REBUILT 11. THE DIST., SPARK PLUG WIRES, ETC. LOOK GOOD 12. THE WIRE WHEELS ARE NICE AND SOLID 13. THE WHITEWALL TIRES WERE NEW (7) YEARS AGO 14. NEW EXHASUT SYSTEM(NOT INSTALLED) 15. FUEL TANK( NEEDS TO BE CLEANED) MECHANICAL: WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. THE CARBURETORS ARE NOT INSTALLED. THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED AND COATED. THE FUEL LINES ARE NOT THERE. WE HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, OUR TECHNICIAN TOOK THE SPARK PLUGS OUT, SPRAYED INSIDE THE CYLINDER BLOCKS WITH A GENEROUS PORTION OF WD-40. HE ALLOWED THEM TO SOAK FOR 24 HOURS. HE TURNED THE ENGINE USING THE MANUAL CRANK. THE ENGINE TURNED FREELY AND FELT THAT IT HAD GOOD COMPRESSION. NEXT HE TOOK THE VALVE COVER OFF. THE HEAD COMPONENTS LOOKED GOOD. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE VALVES FELT TOO LOOSE AND SOME TOO TIGHT. HE REMOVED THE HEAD TO INSPECT THE VALVE SEATS AND THE LIFTERS. HE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THE VALVES HAD STAYED OPEN AND SOME SMALL CORROSION PARTICLES FORMED AT THE SEATS NOT ALLOWING THE VALVES TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ALL VALVES, VALVE SPRINGS, ETC. WERE REMOVED AND CLEANED. THE VALVES WERE SEATED PROPERLY AND ADJUSTED. THE HEAD AND BLOCK SURFACES LOOKED MACHINED. THE CYLINDER BLOCK SURFACES AND THE PISTONS LOOKED GOOD. A NEW HEAD GASKET WAS INSTALLED. WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS HAS RESOLVED THE VALVE IMPROPER FUNCTION. THE EXISTING ENGINE OIL WAS VERY OLD AND A LITTLE DIRTY. HE DRAINED THE ENGINE OIL, INSTALLED NEW OIL FILTER, AND ADDED FRESH OIL. THIS IS ALL WE KNOW! THE TRANSMISSION LEVER GOES TO ALL GEARS MANUALLY. WE CAN NOT TEST THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE BODY ROLLS NICELY WITHOUT ANY EXCESSIVE NOISES. BODY: THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD STARTED TO RESTORE THE MAIN MONOCOQUE BY INSTALLING BRAND NEW FLOOR PANS AND ROCKER PANELS. THEY STILL LOOK LIKE NEW BUT NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED. THE BODY PANELS INCLUDED ARE IN GREAT CONDITION BUT SOME HAVE SOME SURFACE RUST, SMALL DENTS, OR SOME PIN HOLES. WE HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF ALL PANELS. HOWEVER, WE WILL LIST THEM BELOW: * MAIN MONOCOQUE: SOLID FOR MOST PARTS WITH SOME SMALL DENTS AND PIN HOLES IN THE BATTERY AREA.

WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER SPENT 2 YEARS AND SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REACH THIS POINT. WE HAVE ALL THE BODY PANELS AND SOME MISC. PARTS. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS AND READ IN THE DESCRIPTION IS WHAT COMES WITH THIS LISTING. WE HAVE NO OTHER PARTS!
THIS ROLLING CHASSIS IS PERFECT FOR SOMEONE WHO ALREADY HAS A NICE TR3 BODY, WANTS TO CREATE A VINTAGE RACER, OR WOULD LIKE TO TOTALLY RESTORED THE EXISTING BODY. WE ARE NOT SURE IF THE POWERTRAIN MATCHES WITH THE BODY PLATE. IT IS UP TO THE INTERESTED BUYER TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT NUMBERS:
COMMISSION No: TS16530L ( 1957)
BODY NUMBERS : B16657
971715
ENGINE No : TS62229E
GEARBOX No : TS62275
DIFFERENTIAL No: TS17072
THE INFORMATION BELOW WERE PROVIDED BY THE RETIRED RESTORATION SHOP OWNER:
1. THE RUST-FREE FRAME WAS BEAD
BLASTED, PRIMED AND POWDER-COATED.
IT IS IN AN AMAZING CONDITION
2. ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED, MACHINED,
AND REBUILT.
3. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND
NEW CLUTCH KIT INSTALLED
4. THE REAR END WAS REBUILT
5. FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION REBUILT
6. THE BRAKES ARE NOT HOOKED UP. WE DO
HAVE THE FRONT CALIPERS THAT NEED
REBUILDING. THE CAR NEED REAR BRAKE
SHOES,LINES, OR POSSIBLY NEEDS
WHEEL CYLINDERS FOR JUST SITTING
7. THE RADIATOR WAS CLEANED
8. THE CARBURETORS WERE REBUILT. WHEN
WE GOT THE CAR, THE CARBURETORS
WERE SHRINK WRAPPED. WE JUST PUT
THEM ON FOR LOOKS. THEY ARE LOOSE.
9. THE STEERING BOX REBUILT
10. STARTER WAS REBUILT
11. THE DIST., SPARK PLUG WIRES, ETC.
LOOK GOOD
12. THE WIRE WHEELS ARE NICE AND SOLID
13. THE WHITEWALL TIRES WERE NEW (7)
YEARS AGO
14. NEW EXHASUT SYSTEM(NOT INSTALLED)
15. FUEL TANK( NEEDS TO BE CLEANED)
MECHANICAL:
WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. THE CARBURETORS ARE NOT INSTALLED. THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED AND COATED. THE FUEL LINES ARE NOT THERE. WE HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, OUR TECHNICIAN TOOK THE SPARK PLUGS OUT, SPRAYED INSIDE THE CYLINDER BLOCKS WITH A GENEROUS PORTION OF WD-40. HE ALLOWED THEM TO SOAK FOR 24 HOURS. HE TURNED THE ENGINE USING THE MANUAL CRANK. THE ENGINE TURNED FREELY AND FELT THAT IT HAD GOOD COMPRESSION. NEXT HE TOOK THE VALVE COVER OFF. THE HEAD COMPONENTS LOOKED GOOD. HOWEVER, SOME OF THE VALVES FELT TOO LOOSE AND SOME TOO TIGHT. HE REMOVED THE HEAD TO INSPECT THE VALVE SEATS AND THE LIFTERS. HE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THE VALVES HAD STAYED OPEN AND SOME SMALL CORROSION PARTICLES FORMED AT THE SEATS NOT ALLOWING THE VALVES TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ALL VALVES, VALVE SPRINGS, ETC. WERE REMOVED AND CLEANED. THE VALVES WERE SEATED PROPERLY AND ADJUSTED. THE HEAD AND BLOCK SURFACES LOOKED MACHINED. THE CYLINDER BLOCK SURFACES AND THE PISTONS LOOKED GOOD. A NEW HEAD GASKET WAS INSTALLED. WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS HAS RESOLVED THE VALVE IMPROPER FUNCTION. THE EXISTING ENGINE OIL WAS VERY OLD AND A LITTLE DIRTY. HE DRAINED THE ENGINE OIL, INSTALLED NEW OIL FILTER, AND ADDED FRESH OIL. THIS IS ALL WE KNOW! THE TRANSMISSION LEVER GOES TO ALL GEARS MANUALLY. WE CAN NOT TEST THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE BODY ROLLS NICELY WITHOUT ANY EXCESSIVE NOISES.
BODY:
THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD STARTED TO RESTORE THE MAIN MONOCOQUE BY INSTALLING BRAND NEW FLOOR PANS AND ROCKER PANELS. THEY STILL LOOK LIKE NEW BUT NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED.

WE HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS PROJECT CAR TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND HAVE PROVIDED A LARGE NUMBER OF HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS. THE WINNING BIDDER WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED ROLLING CHASSIS WITH ALL THE MAJOR MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. IT WILL TAKE SO MUCH TIME AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CREATE THIS CHASSIS. SO IF YOU HAVE A PRETTY BODY, OR A VINTAGE RACER BODY, JUST THROUGH IT ON THIS FRAME. THE BODY AND ALL OTHER PANELS MAY NOT BE WORTH RESTORING BUT THEY GO WITH THE ROLLING CHASSIS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROJECT AND THE COMPONENTS ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WRRANTIES.
STATE OF GEORGIA DOES NOT REQUIRE A TITLE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE 25 YEARS AND OLDER. THEREFORE, THIS VEHICLE WILL BE SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY. THE MAIN BODY SHELL STILL HAS THE FACTORY PLATE WITH THE COMMISSION NUMBER. IN MOST STATES YOU CAN HAVE THE COMMISSION NUMBER VERIFIED BY THE DMV AND ACQUIRE A REGISTRATION OR EVEN A TITLE. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DMV REGARDING THE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS.
SHIPPING IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE PURCHASER. HOWEVER, WE WILL BE GLAD TO ASSIST YOU WITH THE SHIPPING WITHIN USA OR WORLDWIDE. CURRENTLY, THE MONOCOQUE IS SITTING ON TWO CARPET DOLLIES WITH WHEELS AND IT WILL ROLL AROUND EASILY. ALL OTHER BODY PANELS WILL FIT INSIDE THE MAIN BODY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHIPPING. WE HAVE SHIPPED MANY VEHICLES TO THE EUROPEAN PORTS, AUSTRALIA, ETC.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASONS.
THIS PROJECT VEHICLE IS SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTEES.
We accept Paypal for deposit only within 48 hours of the end of auction. The remaining balance is due within 7 days of auction close. We prefer Bank wire transfer for the remaining balance. If the purchaser choses to pay with a Cashier's check, the vehicle would not be released for minimum of 7 days or when the check clears our Bank.
This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.--> On Jun-19-13 at 17:52:09 PDT, seller added the following information: WE HAD INTENTIONALLY SET A VERY LOW RESERVE FOR THIS PROJECT CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESERVE IS MET EARLY IN THE AUCTION. THE LOW RESERVE WAS MET THIS AFTERNOON. WE ARE AWARE THAT THIS ROLLING CHASSIS, THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS, AND BODY PARTS ARE WORTH A LOT MORE THAN OUR RESERVE PRICE. IN FACT, IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU AN OLD TR3 ROLLING CHASSIS WITH ALL MECHANICAL COMPONENTS IN NEED OF TOTAL RESTORATION FOR FREE, IT WILL COST OVER $10,000.00 AND A LONG TIME TO DUPLICATE THIS ONE. THEREFORE, BY SETTING A VERY LOW RESERVE WE HAVE CREATED A NO RESERVE AUCTION. THE HIGH BIDDER WILL GET THIS PROJECT AT A GREAT VALUE! GOOD LUCK
