Triumph TR-3 Roadster (1961)
for sale
Price: US $9,650.00
Price: US $9,650.00
This is a running and driving 1961 Triumph TR-3 with a clear
Florida title that needs complete restoration.
MECHANICAL: The
engine runs well, has excellent oil pressure, does not burn oil, and does not
overheat. The brakes and clutch work, and the transmission shifts well through all the gears. The battery, clutch disc, and brake master
cylinder are new. The tires are very old
but still hold air. The engine appears
to be original to this car. The steering
and suspension feel good for their age.
BODY / FLOORS / FRAME: The frame appears to be pretty solid, but the body and floors have all the
usual rust that you would expect on an old TR-3. The paint is old and the car has plenty of chips, scratches, dents, and old bodywork. This
car will need a complete restoration.
INTERIOR / TOP: The interior
is very old, but much of it looks original. The convertible top is old but not
torn. The side curtain brackets are
still there, but the side curtains are missing.
ELECTRICAL: The front
marker lights, headlights, and high-beams work, but the rear lights and turn
signals do not. The gauges work except
for the gas gauge. The odometer currently
reads 50, 671 but I can’t be sure if that is the original miles on the car.
TITLE TRANSFER AND PAPERWORK: I am
a long-time classic car hobbyist and a licensed Florida car dealer (Classic
Investment Motorcars Inc.) This means that you must complete the required
sales and title transfer forms with me, which can be done in person or through
the mail. The car cannot be released
until I have received all completed paperwork and payment in full.
DOCUMENTATION FEE: A flat fee of
$100 is charged on all vehicle purchases to help cover postage, paperwork, vehicle
preparation, and other costs. Please understand that this fee cannot be
waived. This fee applies regardless of whether you are an individual or a
dealer.
SALES TAX: If the vehicle is shipped out of Florida by
common carrier or freight forwarder I will not need to collect sales tax (you
will take care of that where you live.) If
you live in Florida, or pick up the car in Florida, then I am required to
collect applicable sales tax and tag/title fees. If you live in another
state and pick up the car here, most states will give you credit for the sales
tax I collect (in this case the sales tax rate will be the lesser of 6% or the
rate that applies to you in your state.) Please feel free to contact me before bidding to find out how the tax
rules will apply for your individual state.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: A $200
non-refundable PayPal deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the listing. The balance must be paid by cash, cashier’s check, or wire transfer within
seven days. All cashier’s checks must clear my bank before the vehicle
can be released. If the buyer does not pay in accordance with these
requirements, I may, at my option, make second-chance offers or
re-list/remarket the vehicle and the deposit will be forfeited by the buyer.
SHIPPING: Arranging and paying for shipping is the
responsibility of the buyer. We are happy to cooperate with any shipping
company you choose, domestic or international. We may also be able to
help you arrange shipping at a good price, but the responsibility will remain
with you.
THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. Please feel free to come
inspect the car in person or to have it inspected by a third-party inspection
service. Cars are shown by appointment only, but we are available most
days. Please note that if you are the
winning buyer you will have entered into a binding contract to complete the
purchase in accordance with eBay rules. The sale location is Bell, Florida, Florida law governs, and venue lies exclusively in Gilchrist County, Florida.
Please feel free to call me at 352-283-0268 or email me
through eBay if you would like additional information.
