[TR] Get in line

[stagbytriumph at triumphstagclub.org]

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.

 

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 😉

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.  

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

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.
