Vehicle Detail

I have a 1981 Triumph TR7 Convertible, green with a tan top, that I am motivated to sell. I purchased the car two years ago for $3500 with the intention of restoring it, however I have not had the time to do so. The body and paint are very good, as it was repainted sometime before I purchased the vehicle. The interior needs to be redone. Headlights and electrical all work (radio light is on, however it is not hooked up). Just got a new clutch in July. Passed smog in August and is registered for 2012. In the last 3 months I've invested $1500 in it, getting that new clutch, making sure the electrical on it was good (headlights work, power to the radio). Right now the lights on thew dash are not working, but I suspect that is a fuse. 86,000 miles paint and body is in good shape - car has been garage kept for the last 2 years electrical is solid interior needs cosmetic work (including a fix on the center storage area - broken hinge) runs ok, have used it as a commuter vehicle on occasion. It's got a little hitch in the giddy up when stomping on the gas which I suspect just needs a cleaning of the fuel line or the fuel injectors. It sat idle in my garage for 9 months, then came out for just the repairs I have had done (should probably add a gas additive if you let it sit idle for long periods of time) I am renovating our home, and need the space in the garage, and do not have the time to finish this project. My plan was to change the interior to black (including the seats) and get a black top. My expected cost for that was about $2000, at which time I thought the car would be worth a solid $5-6,000, hence this is how I had my price at $4,000. I dropped it to $3,000 and had a lot of inquires (most from out of the state of California). $2500 is my final drop...if you would like to ship it somewhere, I just donated $500 to the cause.
