TR6 What is an unmolested, rust-free '75 TR6 worth ?

[britlover]

I have the opportunity to purchase a '75 TR6 with 56K miles in pimento red, black interior, in very good shape. Looks to have some of its original paint, rust-proofed at new, and seems to have worked on this one! Runs good, still has all the original smog equipment, needs an exhaust due to a leak in the midpipe. Trans is leaking oil a bit, doesn't have OD, interior is nice, completely original but the seat foam is crumbling. Still has the original top, little frayed around the edges but no holes. Passenger side door gap is perfect, drivers side is gapping at the top. Frame looks very solid but there is some "bulging" at the outboard end of the outriggers in the corner on both sides. Floors still have factory paint on them.

I think I can buy it for 7200. Seems a steal for a rust free car with a few minor issues-- any opinions? Just looking for a car to enjoy the summer in, may sell before winter and don't want to be upside down.

If you driven the car and it runs good and it truly is rust-free, that is a decent price. I would very closely check out the bulging on the chassis.

"bulging" means rust (hence the bulge) and the trailing arms can be a costly repair.

TR6: Check engine thrust washers and make sure differential pins aren't broken.....

4500, if its never been worked on then there would be or could be lots of work to do, IMO
