Vehicle Detail

This is a very-drivable 1959 TR3A with a rebuilt J-Type Overdrive Transmission. The car looks and runs great. I’ve owned this automobile nearly 10 years and based on found maintenance receipts, this particular TR3A was originally purchased in Chicago. The owner moved to Sacramento, California where he passed away. It is worth noting that this car was in storage for many years. This TR3A, while all original when I found it, did not look the way it does today. I am not a car dealer – I’ve enjoyed working on it and have many wonderful memories - driving it in the San Joaquin Valley and the nearby hills. As you will read on, the integrity of the car was not compromised with the improvements I’ve made through the years. I have a clear California title on the vehicle and registration expires in 2015. You don’t see too many of these cars on the road. Thanks for looking. Following is helpful information on my 1959 TR3A.
