1968 Triumph Spitfire MKIII
 

I have for sale or trade, to my knowledge, a 1968 Triumph Spitfire MKIII. Sadly the work needed to get this car back on the road is more than I can handle right now time wise and financially. The body is in ok shape… rusted in spots, has holes in the hood where someone had a hood scoop bolted on (I don’t know why). There are no seats, the original dash wood is nearly shot. I believe the convertible frame is all there, vinyl is shot. I have an extra tranny, drive shaft, front hood, trunk lid, set of rims, fuel tank and a spare chassis. Also I have a decent shape hard top, with intact glass. I have been told the hardtop alone, even though it needs work (easily repairable dent and its rusted), is worth more than the whole car restored as its hard to find them. THIS CAR HAS NO PAPERWORK!!!!!! When I got this from my uncle (after roughly 10 years of pestering) he could not find it! I can and will get pictures of the car this weekend, if there is something in particular you want, e-mail me. I am looking to get this car out of my driveway before the snow flies, as one solid deal. DO NOT want to part it out unless I know for sure all the parts will be gone quickly! I hate to do it but if the car isn’t gone soon I will just cut it up for scrap. I will consider any reasonable cash offer or trade!

Wow - tough sale man. Pretty ambitious project and with no paperwork and stated condition, I think you'd be hard pressed to do much else other than part it out, but who knows. Best of luck finding the right buyer.

good luck but the car is to small for me

im 6'2" and 285lbs and i have sat in one of these... its tight... but move the seat around and you could make do...

i know it could be a tough sale but i would rather sell it to someone who can/will use it than scrap it :(
