[Fot] TR7 going to scrapper

I have a solid and complete '76 TR7 coupe that is destined for the scrapper
pretty soon unless someone wants it.  Our local scrap yard is paying $11.00
per 100 pounds so, assuming a curb weight of 2,250, it's worth $247.50 if I
haul it 3 miles down the road.  On the other hand, I really hate to scrap a
car that might be useful to someone, so I'm offering it to the list for
$247.50 if anyone wants it.  It was a Texas car that was last tagged in 1983
and was stored there until a few years ago when I got it as a father/son
project that didn't go anywhere.  The body is very solid, with almost no
rust or dents.  The engine is all there, including AC, but I don't think it
will turn.  We started to take parts off the engine but didn't get very far,
and everything is there.  Unfortunately, it's a coupe, with 4 speed and
early rear end, so it's not very desirable as Triumphs go.  Anyway, I need
the space so if no one wants it I'm going to send it off to Triumph heaven.
We're in northeast Florida and I have a good Florida title for it.  Don
