[TR] 1959 TR3, Craigs List

[Joe Curry]

It does say 6 speed tranny but also says Overdrive.  That might be an
interpretation of having a 4 speed with overdrive that is accessible in both
3rd and 4th, thus giving 6 different final gear ratios.

I'd have to ask a few questions first.  A 6 speed transmission?  40K miles? 
With some of the other upgrades it may be more drivable but less original.

Need to take the current economy in mind when looking at the price.  Except 
for the high end exotics, most car prices at the auctions have dropped 
considerably.

I looked at changing my insurance company for my '56 TR3 and my AH 3000. 
American Classic Insurance had no problem with the value on the AH, but the 
TR3 I had been insuring at $12,000 was over their high book of $10,000. 
Personally I wouldn't sell it for 10K but the current market is certainly 
depressed.
