Wedge Free TR7 Coupe on Craigslist

[sammyb]

Just saw this and wanted to pass it on to y'all. (I don't have my TR7 or TR8 anymore!)

It would be an absolute shame to let it go to the crusher!!! (Certainly someone needs bumpers, flasher switch, headlight motors, carb mounts or whatever.)

It appears to be in Redmond, WA (about 15 miles east of Seattle.)

Here is the listing with a link to the pix.

This car will go to the crusher on the 2nd of Jan if there are no takers.

Interesting...

That was the TR7 I was considering as I was originally told that it was a 75 which would have been smog exempt in CA. I would love to find a good 75 coupe. Apparently there is some rust in the floor boards as well.

Sam,

Where 'ya been?Haven't heard from you in a long while.
I saw that TR7 - the price is right.
BTW - there's a '68 Fiat 850 coupe on the Medford,
Oregon craigslist.Sounds like it could be had cheap.

Hi Doug!

I've been very busy, mostly with family and other random things. Car-wise, I did some engine work on my '68 Polara and then I've been doing most of the work preparing my father's Franklin for restoration (painting, rechroming etc..., which meant taking tons of parts off and putting them in little bags!)

So I've spent much of my time offline. When online, I've been writing on my Blog.

Hope the New Year finds you (and other BCFers) healthy and happy!

Sam

Whoa... a Franklin! I guess you know that the Franklin Museum is located here in Tucson. Quite a fine collection of these unusual cars.

There's a museum dedicated to stoves.... in Arizona?
Couldn't resist

Cheers,
