  1. I like the car but the owner is delusional. Seeing far too many of these guys advertising with too many zero's in their price.
  2. I'm cruising on the north side of Lake Erie. Port Stanley Ontario. Pictures soon I hope.
  3. Ah yes. The TR7 & TR8 finished off Triumph for good..,at least here in Canada. Today Steve I was able to finally yard drive my TR6. A big step forward as it hadn't moved under it's own power in many decades.
  4. Floors. A major problem if they are rusted. Monocoque type chassis and very difficult to restore properly and $$$. As others wiser than I have said, clean, clean, and re clean for a few days. I'd add spin the spark plugs out, soak with brake fluid in the cylinders for a few days and then turn over with a bar on the crank. If it's freed up it worth more. These old 390 FE big blocks are not too hard to work on.
  5. I drove a 1970 Fury back in 1976 From Ontario to Florida that was a $150 car. Plan was to buy a 57 Corvette to drive back and just sell the Fury to a junkyard. The Corvette was a piece of scrap, owner was a real scammer ( Hemmings Ad). So couldn't find anything else so figured better try to get the Fury to make it back home. Opened the hood to check oil, etc and found a broken plug wire. Got that fixed, put in almost 4 quarts of oil, some anti-freeze, topped up the transmission fluid and power steering and headed home after partying a bit. I was 21 at the time. The old rusty Fury ran great and got better mileage than ever out of that 318. After a full 21 hour journey I parked it in a snow drift until almost spring. It fired right up again and I kept it for another season. Looked a lot like the subject car except for the rust and dents!
  6. Last year I had 3 manual stick shift's none with A/C. I've done my time in the August heat/heavy traffic. Too old to Not enjoy cars. Only one for this year. 1972 TR6. 4 speed no overdrive and no A/C. Not going to see much wheel time after May until late September.
  7. Yep. The knees do dictate the choice. The increase in traffic doesn't help either!
  8. As someone who was in the 4 speed no A/C club as a kid I'm finally over that. Gotta have Air and automatic. Last year is 1st pic. This year 2nd pic. LOL
  9. Lovely car. Too far off of my radar and budget to opine upon. Still love it! The last time I was up close to a Duesy was back in 1990 at The Imperial in Vegas. Made reservations to spend time and sip a few in The Duesenburg Room. I've never forgot it. All them sitting side by side with Cord's and Auburn's. The caretaker guy was very nice when I chatted with him. He seemed to enjoy that I knew a bit about them.
  10. Yes, I agree. It looks like a Mop N' Glo job. The chrome reverse and baby Moons don't really help. Makes it look like a "flipper" car to me. I do like these 69-70 Cougar's. But in an era colour. I had a 69 coupe in Butterscotch with a ginger vinyl top and "Comfort weave" ginger interior.
  11. The 1st gen Corvairs had different tire pressure recommendations for front and rear and labels also. Of course nobody paid any attention to that.
