If the lump is from a C2 then carbureted bhp was ~ 245, listed in the ad =
as 220bhp, the Stanpart diff and GKN half shafts should handle 250 bhp, =
but we know that is from new, not 50 years of wear and tear with fatigue =
cracks in the axles.

=20

With all that modification, it should have a corvette diff and axles but =
I note four bolt wheels and no mention of anything other than stock diff =
and stock half shafts.

Someone somewhere will love it =F0=9F=98=89

Well, it IS a period drive train.  But for my money (especially this =
kind of money) I would want something more modern.

No word about what diff he is using.  If it is the stock TR6 unit better =
line up a replacement today.

Especially a 3 speed automatic!  That as a huge mistake made for Stags =
that ZF transmissions fix
nicely.

Now if it were a 6 or 8 speed ZF to leverage the power curve you would =
have something there.

Not a lot of specs on that GM V8 lump, is it really a 283 maybe out of =
an old C2/C3 Corvette that
had a Powerglide 3 speed??

I definitely see the appeal of a Triumph with some more power under the =
hood and easier to find
parts, but the automatic transmission would be a deal breaker for me.

That is going to be a tough sale. =20

Highly customized with a boatload of money poured into it will need the =
correct person who falls in
love with it at first sight. =20

It looks to be a fun toy, but a Triumph in name only so that excludes =
the people looking for an LBC
experience, and it has too many "tells" to be a sleeper.

For me the tail customization detracts from it that could be implemented =
with a bit more taste and
finesse - just sayin, not my taste.

Do a full photo and video workup on it with every conceivable detail and =
information tidbit and put
it on Bring-a-Trailer.
