A nice 71 TR6 sold at auction today for $27500.00. I gave the car a good looking over on Tuesday and only found one big fault with the car. The seam between the rear fenders on the top and the tub of the car had been filled in. To me this is a major fault and would never pay that much for the car. Questions come to mind as to why they filled it in (rust). It was said to be a rust free car with the same owner for the last 33 years. Miles were around 45000. This is a good sign for the value of our LBC's.
It does make me think about buying the all original 76 TR6 with O/D, A/C, and Hardtop from the guy I met at the local cruise-in last weekend. He bought it from the original owner over ten years ago and never drove it. It comes with all the original documentation from new. Car has never left the Phoenix area. The color of the car is not what I would choose, but good for AZ (white with chestnut interior). Not that it means much but he said it was the very last TR6 sold in AZ.
