1976 Triumph Spitfire

Triumph Spitfire (1976)
for sale

Price: US $5,500.00

Description:

This vehicle is in great condition- And has multiple performance modifications while staying true to the original spirit of the car, and time period.
These cars are undoubtedly one of the funnest cars on the road-
What makes this one unique is being able to safely take it out on the highway, at highway speeds--
Why mess around with an overdrive, and overdrive switch- which can be problematic and lead to ruining a transmission, when you can simply get it done right with a 5 speed transmission.

Pros:
Newer tires with less than 2000 miles Value: 400
5 Speed Spridget transmission- value 2500 + shipping was a small fortune from UK
Dual Webber Carbs value 500
Dual Exhaust value 500
Tan Top in excellent condition tonneau cover, - no tears/rips or defects 900
battery less than a year old 50
mallory Distributor 400
Rebuilt engine- 1800
Interior redone 2 years ago
Windshield 1 year ago
Known Issues:
Gas Gauge doesn't work- Could be connection, could be float- If you know these cars, you know that is a pretty easy fix
Odometer doesn't work- It reads 66000 miles, I'm sure that is not accurate, as the car is nearly 40 years old- Engine was rebuilt two years ago, 5 speed put in about a year ago
Speedometer reads high- this was from the new transmission that went in a year ago- Again, a relatively easy fix.
Body- Body is in good shape- 6ft. paint job
This car is a driver- and a ton of fun- The 5 speed along with the other modifications make all the difference in this car!
I am selling this car in as is condition, and I offer no warranty. I have described everything about the car, both good and bad, that I know. Buyer will be responsible for pick-up/delivery-
I have truly loved owning this car and while I hate to get rid of it, I have to make room in my garage for other cars- I refuse to put any outside- Unfortunately- this one has to go-
