NO RESERVE. I NEED IT DONE! I'm selling it as-is where is. BRING A TRAILER AND BRING IT HOME WITH ALL THE EXTRA PARTS. The wiper motor has malfunctioned as a result of water getting into it. I don't think it's damaged but I have another one with a broken stop switch so you can exchange parts if necessary. The motor was unhappy when I took it up to Chestertown. It sounds like the valve flutter issue degraded so that exhaust valve was not sealing. I purchased the car in August 2008 for $3,800 and have put about $8,000 and a lot of labor into it. I have two Datsun 280Zs and I don’t have room to store the TR7 for the winter and I’m trying to save for new house so I am selling it. I have worked on every system of the car. Here is a list of some of the things I’ve done: 1) Rebuilt tranny: new syncros, new 3rd gear, new bearings, new pump… (5-speed) 2) New clutch kit, master cylinder, slave cylinder, stainless steel braided hydraulic hose 3) New fuel system: new tank from Rimmer Bros, repainted and lined, new fuel lines, new fuel pump 4) Rebuilt carbs, manual choke installed 5) Professionally rebuilt alternator 6) Pertronix Ignition with new coil, wires, plugs 7) Radiator flushed, pressure tested, and painted 8) All bushings on suspension replaced, new front dampers were installed this weekend, new engine mounts 9) Soft top was new in 08, beige interior being converted to black, just need a new carpet kit to finish, seatbelts were replaced with new aftermarket 10) Spent over $2,000 having a shop review entire car, test and tune carbs I spent considerable time to preserve the metal. The undercarriage has been cleaned and painted with Eastwood paint. It may not be the prettiest at the moment but has potential. There are some areas of rust that still need to be taken care of. There are cracks along the edges where the floorboards connect to the surrounding panels that need to be welded. The electrical system could use some sorting. The passenger headlight doesn’t always illuminate for some reason and the dash lights don’t always work. I lost the faceplate for the stereo so the unit is currently removed. The previous owner put a small subwoofer in the trunk but I’ve disconnected it. For some reason the engine won’t go above 3,000 rpm under load. I think it may be valve flutter but I haven’t had the time to figure it out. The coolant leak under the car in the pictures is from when I put the air scoop inside the engine bay for the pictures. It pushed on the coolant hoses on the engine and caused the leak. I removed the scoop and the hoses don’t leak. The heater core was bypassed by the previous owner evidently due to a leak. I have a used assembly from TSI Imports ready to be installed that has been pressure tested. You need to take the entire dash out of the car to do the swap so I haven’t done it yet. The car gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. I drive the car regularly and it’s a lot of fun. I can go on and on about the car so if you’d like to chat about the car send me your phone number and I’ll call you. We can also arrange for you to come see the car.
