1976 TRIUMPH GT6 CONVERTIBLE OR... 2.0 LITER SPITFIRE AKA: SPITFIRE WITH VERY NICE "GT6" 6 CYLINDER & RUNNING GEAR CONVERSION NEW LOWERING SPRINGS, NEW WHEELS, TIRES, GT6 "BONNET", ETC. NICE JOB! MOSTLY COMPLETED / EZ PROJECT TO FINISH IN YOUR CHOICE OF COLORS! COULD USE A FRESH TANK OF GAS & TUNE-UP, SINCE IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR A WHILE, BUT OVERALL MECHANICALLY IN GREAT SHAPE. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN A PACKAGE DEAL FROM A GENTLEMAN WHO HAD BEEN RESTORING IT & HAD HIS PRIORITIES CHANGE. HE HAD DONE MUCH OF THE WORK, BUT IT WILL STILL NEED A FEW ODDS & ENDS TO BE INSTALLED OR FINISHED. WE WERE TOLD THAT HE HAD REBUILT THE ENGINE & IT APPEARS TO BE THE CASE FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN. IT LOOKS NEW & RUNS GREAT! THE 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT TOO & WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A VERY NICE LITTLE CAR & WILL NOT BE HARD TO FINISH! FRONT END, GRILL, FRONT BUMPER, FRONT SPOILER ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! THE MAIN THING THE CAR NEEDS IS A PAINT JOB. YOU COULD JUST PAINT THE BONNET / HOOD TO GET BY FOR NOW, BUT CONSIDERING ALL THE TIME & EFFORT THAT HAS GONE INTO MAKING THIS CAR NICE MECHANICALLY, IT REALLY DESERVES A NEW PAINT JOB! MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HAS NO RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL! LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS WE SELL, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS COMPLETELY SOLID THROUGHOUT. OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: FM45930UC ODOMETER READING: 63918 IMPORTANT TITLE INFO: THE TITLE IS A STATE OF OREGON LOST TITLE APPLICATION. THIS WILL BE TRANSFERABLE WITH NO PROBLEM IN SOME STATES INCLUDING OREGON OBVIOUSLY. BUT IF YOU NEED A REGULAR OREGON TITLE, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO TRANSFER IT FOR YOU FOR THE $77 DMV CHARGE THROUGH THE OREGON DMV. THIS WILL JUST TAKE SOME EXTRA TIME. USUALLY ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS TO GET THE NEW TITLE BACK. BODY: SUPER NICE & SOLID. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP ITSELF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WORKS WELL ENOUGH TO KEEP THE RAIN OFF MOSTLY, BUT THE BACK WINDOWS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED & YOU CAN GET A BRAND NEW TOP ON EBAY FOR $270 INCLUDING SHIPPING. SO WHY NOT JUST GET A NEW ONE? THE TOP FRAME IS IN GOOD SHAPE & WORKS SMOOTHLY. GLASS: THE WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, OTHERWISE ALL GLASS IS GOOD. WE HAVE FOUND A GOOD USED WINDSHIELD FOR $100 LOCALLY & CAN GET THIS AT COST FOR THE BUYER IF DESIRED. ALL REAR PANELS LOOK NICE! STRAIGHT & SOLID! REAR QUARTERS, TAILLIGHTS, BUMPER, ETC. ALL LOOK GREAT! NEW "KN" "MINATOR" CLASSIC "8 SPOKE" WHEELS TIRES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE! I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 80% TREAD ON ALL 4. INTERIOR: THE GT6 DASH, THE WOOD & STEERING WHEEL ARE IN GREAT SHAPE! GAUGES ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE. NO CRACKS IN DASH PAD! CLEAN & ORIGINAL. CLOSEUP OF THE SPEEDOMETER & TACH OIL PRESSURE & TEMP GAUGE SHOWN WHILE RUNNING. EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE & RUNS NICE & COOL IN THE CENTER OF THE GAUGE. ORIGINAL GT6 MEDALLION THE FRONT SEATS COULD USE A FRESH DETAIL & TO BE BOLTED IN, BUT ARE IN GREAT SHAPE! NO TEARS AT ALL. CARPETING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. YOU CAN BUY A VERY NICE CARPET SET FOR THIS CAR FOR UNDER $160 INCLUDING SHIPPING ON EBAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL ISN'T BAD, BUT NEEDS A LITTLE TLC. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT BAD AT ALL. VIEW OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. VIEW OF TRUNK. SPARE IS NICE. TRUNK FLOOR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE! VERY SOLID WITH NO RUST ISSUES. THE 2.0 LITER 6 CYLINDER LOOKS TO BE FRESHLY REBUILT & RUNS GREAT! DUAL SIDEDRAFT CARBS. NICE & CLEAN UNDER THE HOOD. MECHANICAL: SIZE: 2.0 LITER 6 CYLINDER STARTS RIGHT UP & RUNS SMOOTH & QUIET!
