General TR Testing the Waters

I'm beginning to realize that I may never finish my 10 year on going project. I have a 57 Small Mouth with overdrive, 19909LO, complete, rust free and down to the sheet metal fit and finish and everything that comes after that. It's been done correctly with every detail as close to original as possible. Complete TRF leather interior, back seat, carpeting, etc, etc. New 48 spoke wires with new knock offs and hubs. The list goes on . I'd be willing to trade for a turn key super nice TR6. Like I said, testing the waters. Any thoughts???

Yes, pictures would help, and details of what's been done and what hasn't. On the plus side, it seems that the demand for small mouth cars is good.

It looks like a really nice start and if
I hadn't already built one I love to have this progect.
But my experience with trades is that you may be better off to just sell,then shop for what you want.
Good Luck,
Tom

Finish it and you'll get more - at this stage it's a project, not driveable so value is greatly diminished not matter how nice it looks. Most restos don't sell for any where near what you invested, and incomplete ones, less. So get it running at the least, if you want top (project) dollar. It's a harsh reality.
