The TR6 barn find in Salado is an interesting car. It has some race car 
goodies but I think they want too much for what is essentially a basket case 
TR6. The fenders are flared with metal spliced in. The engine is built to 
some race standard but there is no telling if it has important stuff like 
cam bearings. In my book it needs to be torn down regardless and there is no 
claim of anything like Carillo rods, no Webers. I think they got a PI setup 
with the spares but it is my understanding that they are selling the spares 
separately. The headers look like small tube GT6 size to me. It came with a 
couple of overdrive tansmissions and some sort of locked diff. There is no 
sign of ever having a roll cage installed. My guess is that the original car 
was autocrossed.
