Triumph Spitfire (1965)
for sale

Price: US $5,500.00

Description:

I have a VIN Correct 1965 Triumph Spitfire, it has been a race car since the early 70's and was last raced in 1976, since then it's undergone a total restoration. This is perfect for someone getting started in racing.
I have had it for around 4 years. It has primarily been raced on the west coast. It does need someone to put it together which never scared me since most racers should build their own cars in my opinion. I want the car to go to a good home with an option for first buyback if they ever sell it.
Have SCCA logbooks from all race history and parts purchased during that period. I recently acquired a TVR and made a deal with my wife to sell the Spitfire. So unfortunately I have to let it go, but all is not lost since I have my TVR.
This car is basically ready to just be put together. I've gone through and put grade 8 bolts through all the suspension front/rear. My brother built a custom aluminum panel to go on the firewall for strength. I never got around to finishing the car since I had too many other projects going on. It has been in covered storage and my fathers garage since I've owned it.
The roll-cage has been built from the ground up by the prior owner who did a beautiful job. It may not meet certain requirements for specific racing leagues, but for SCCA Autocross it should be 100% legit which was my original intention.
Have a fresh 1147 CC engine balanced and ready to be put together with all new parts, the prior owner was a mechanical engineer who has built parts for Carroll shelby, when I asked him if i needed to measure anything or if i could just toss it together, and he said everything is matched and numbered, just needs to be bolted together.Balanced PistonsBalanced Connecting RodsNew PlugsNew Gasket KitRebuilt HeadBlock and Head have been coated for better oil flowKastner A8 KamRebuilt CarbsNew Valves / SpringsNew Oil PumpNew PushrodsHave aluminum and steel pushrods (boxes full)New Solid LiftersRepainted Valve CoverAdditional 1296CC engine (needs rebuild but complete and never taken apart)SCCA Log Book and Inspection book from the 70'sPerformance coated headers Aluminum Racing SeatRebuilt standard aluminum transmission 2 Additional transmissions Vintage Correct Magnesium Racing Wheels Kastner A6, A7, A8 cams As well as 8+ additional cams aside from the kastner ones2 additional sets of connecting rodsOil Sump system Fire System Rebuilt Girling Calipers by centric and new rotors Calipers have been modified to allow clearance for Vented Rotors with custom spacersThe spacers can be removed to allow for stock rotors to be fitted againRebuilt front suspension Aldan Eagle ShocksNewer paint (audi blue) Additional Stock Rotors and Calipers (originals need to be rebuilt)Additional Front-end suspension set (originals need to be rebuilt)New U-joints for the driveline and axle shaftsNew aluminum Radiator shroudNew Clutch/Brake master cylindersNew Steel brake lines throughoutRebuilt Rear Differential (already installed)Additional Rear DifferentialCustom built rollcageBags full ofValves, springs, misc engine/body parts6+ crates of extra parts
I have not itemized all of the additional parts in the crates, most of it are extras collected over the years. What i listed are the best parts in the bunch that were intended to go back on the car. I even have bags full of Triumph Lettering, license plates and more. If there are specific questions please don't hesitate to ask. I do not have pictures of all the parts since most are in boxes stored away. But I can always get pictures of them and send additional pictures of anything requested.
