Scott,
Agreed.
That is why when things have been for sale for 2+ years on every site imaginable, we do not even waste our time bidding on them. This thing has had more turns than a door knob at being sold. We have seen for sale just about everywhere in the last 2 years. I find that dealing with sellers like this is just a complete waste of time. $17,000 is a lot of money for an unfinished project of this sort. It has been heavily modified and will never be viewed at the same value as a truly restored car by the collectors who pay a premium for originality.
The surprises are a guarantee. If it were that way to easy to throw it together and go for a ride, the seller would have done it. There is always a reason why people give up on these projects, and they are never telling the entire story when it is for sale as unfinished.
No doubt it would be a fun car to drive when finished, but it could be an expensive and time consuming ride to get there.

The gap between what’s here and a finished car is potentially a lot of work and some surprises. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-triumph-tr4-4/ <https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-triumph-tr4-4/>
