Parts car and that's about it.It's missing parts already,so it knows it's fate.I went to an open house once for a rustic "restored farm house",with my kids.The realtor asked me what I thought about the home. My reply was,"if the termites were'nt holding hands ,the place would fall down". My kids almost collasped on the floor laughing.$550 doesnt buy much.

if it was near me, it'd be in my garage already =D But you never see TR3s in any shape up in new england for less than several grand, even as bad as that one is lol.

Example

"must be trailered" wonder why? Still, if it were closer and I had some place to store it I would probably be tempted.

I went and looked at a car in that neck of Nawth Carolina once.....about 1972 or 1973.
1950 Ford......the frame and dashboard (to name two) were so rusted turning tghe steering wheel the box and part of the frame rotated, and where the column outer attached to the dash....the dash gave way with rust.

You are buying $550 of rust and then pay to haul it home.

I live about 30 miles from this car and desparately want another TR3, but I'm not wasting my time of this car.

I may have actually seen this car about 30 years ago at a shop in the same area. It was rough then.

Maybe the running motor and rebuilt starter are worth the asking price?
