1967 Triumph Spitfire for sale
Current customer rating: (222 votes ) based onThe chevy 327 mill fires up easily. I have had to use a little spray of starting fluid a few times after letting it sit for a few weeks. It has a electric fuel pump that can be heard until it starts. then all you can hear is the engine. The clutch is strong and goes into gears/shifts with no problem.
Engine is a 1966 327 Chevy. 4bolt main. nbsp;Double hump heads. nbsp;stock lifters/rockers & mild cam. quadrajet carb. revs quick and sounds nasty. There is no smoke. nbsp;ticks. tocks. or funny noises. Clutch is a coild sping 10" sprun for max pressure. The clutch pedal is very stiff. There is a fabricated adapter on the bell housing that connects a overdrive unit. It is always in overdrive. making up for rear end gearing/small tires. The rear mounted Transmission/Axle is a Saginaw 4speed from a mid-engine Corvair. An adapter was made to provide a driveshaft input to the nose of the transmission. This was very common with mid-engine corvairs. The shift throw is very short. The radiator is 1970s chevy truck. The gastank is stock but an additional 8. 5 gallon tank was added below the trunk. They are connected together so the stock filler fills both tanks.
The front brakes are from a Spitfire GT and the rear are corvair drums with a pressure regulator. The rear hubs were redrilled to have the same bolt pattern as the front. The master cylinder was replaced a couple months.
Seats are from a later model Spitfire. They were re-upholstered with some thick shag like material but the color is wrong. The custom dashboard has working gauges. The front parking lights are 60s chevy van. the tail lights are Mustang II.
Only the rockers have rusted through. none of the underbody. floors or frame is rusted.
I have only driven it only around the neighborhood under 40mph. The tires are too old and dryrotted and the treads commonly separate and damage the wheel well. I have not been willing to risk that. At low speeds the car feels amazingly nimble and begs for throttle. My first plan was to change all the fluids. rubber hoses. nbsp;replace the tires. brake pads. shocks. door/window/top seals and get all the lights working and drive it as it is and figure out any bugs it has. then lastly repair the body.
This is just about everything I know so far about the Triumph.
If you cannot pick it up in person and pay cash the old fashioned way. the a bank wire transfer is the quickest and the safest way to send the money to avoid any scams or fraud.
The title is clear and is 2nd issued title from 1970. signed and notarized.
All offers considered!
Please ask any questions. Thanks.
