1957 Triumph TR3 west coast car: excellent restoration candidate. This is the small-mouth frogeye. I am a private auto restorer, but I am offering this car because my current backlog of projects exceeds 3 years.
I purchased this car from 2nd owner who had owned it since the early 1960s. I have a clean title in my name. This TR3 was an original California car and moved to Northern Nevada about 1990. The car was kept indoors for most of its life but was rolled outdoors in Northern Nevada desert during the past 2 years.
Frame is rust free and straight. All chassis and driveline components are attached. There are no indicators of major collision damage.
Floor pans are complete, straight and rust free.
Body is complete including aluminum guards. One repaint. Prior body damage and bondo repairs to front apron, front fenders and inner fender wells. Front fenders are torn behind wheel wells apparently due to oversize tires. Doors operate. Bondo repairs on rear fenders, valance and spare cover.
Windscreen frame, Dash, Top bows, Top and Side curtains complete. Tires hold air.
Missing parts:Front grilleFront bumper & bracketsAir cleaners
