This isarot free car with only typical surface rust on the typical areas.The floors, rockers and all typical danger areas are excellent.The frame is original and excellent. I can't find any bodywork or signs of accident damage.I want you to be happy with the car so feel free to stop by or have someone else stop by to look it over before bidding. I am the fourth owner. It has always been in Californiauntil I had it shipped to PA a few years ago and stored it in my heated garaged since. The first owner bought the car in California.The car was in theCalifornia Central Valley until 1998when it came to theSan Jose area. The second owner bought the car in 1998 and drove it home to Turlock in the Central California Valley, and started to repaint it in the original French blue, but never finished. A yellow re-spray was attempted at some point. The third owner drove the car from Turlock to Milpitas, near San Jose with no problems,and some disassembly was started, but then it was listed for sale and I bought it.







On arrival in Pennsylvania,Iran it a little but soon continued disassembly. I removed the speedometer and all gauges except the oil pressure gauge, with the odometer showing 54,746 miles. (The clear PA title states 54,000 original miles but I don't know what the actual mileage is after 42 years) The caris now in the advanced disassembly stage but all parts except those mentioned are present and accounted for, and I will help however I can with packaging & transportation.







The seats were rebuilt with all new foams and rubbers and then custom covered in blue & white vinyl as my intention was to do the car in blue & white. A metal dash vent is damaged as shown in the picture but two good ones will be included. The wooden dashwas shot so it was tossed. The soft top is dry rotted and will need to be replaced.




This is a great starting point for a relatively easy restoration of a rare, un-rotted original overdrive California TR6. You won't find a cleaner, more solid place to start. The chrome is not show quality, but is decent driver quality. This car with it's 'original miles' title, matching numbers, no rot, California history and overdrive transmission is destined to be a high-dollar car. No rust or rot repairs, patch panels, or frame modification noted and no non-original components. As far as I know the only things the car is missing is a good soft top, interior panels and carpeting, and wooden dash. Of course these are all readily available new.
Includes roll bar, your choice of low-profile or standard tires, both sets in excellent condition. Includes your choice of silver or black center caps. (I think the black ones came with the car originally), and nice wheel-trim rings.Other items like the rubber over-riders, under bumper front turn signals, and more are good and included but not shown; please ask before bidding if you have questions.
The oil pressure gauge is not shown because it is installed and used when I start the car. (Car has great oil pressure). I'm not sure if I have the windshield wipers. I do have a considerable amount of extra and spare parts but I don't have time or energy to sort through them - we'll pick through them when you come to pick the car up. Even the original jack and jack rod are here. The engine can be started with a small fuel electric pump and fuel source to show you the engine is good, runs strong with no smoke.Also includes the 2 original sets of keys, original jack, original owners manual, and some receipts from a previous California owner. The battery is NOT included. I tried adding a photobucket link to more pictures but the link wasn't accepted in the Ebay listing. Any advice on adding more pictures is appreciated or I can email any specific pictures you request.
