Up for bid is a 1968 Triumph TR4-A Executive Restomod

VIN: CT69866LO

Description:

This outstanding vehicle is perfect for daily driving,cruise-ins, car shows and weekend trips.This was built as a reliable, incredibly fast and fun resto-mod. It has a brand new 450hp Blueprint Crate Engine and brand new Tremec TKX 5-Speed transmission. Modified frame, 4-wheel disc brakes and adjustable coil-over shocks. Engine has a nice lopey idle and sounds simply fantastic under throttle through the large side-exit exhaust pipes. The performance is a docile and easy going as you want it to be, or can become an outright rocketship, likely more than most can withstand at full throttle through a couple (any) gears. Very enjoyable at any speed.

Exterior: Custom Blue Metallic finish. Factory stainless trim, restored. New Black folding top frame and new Black canvas convertible top. Easy to raise and lower with one person.

Interior: Custom stitched Tan leather seats, door panels and rear speaker panel with new Black carpet in cockpit and rear trunk areas. New Classic Instruments HotRod Series Gauges, all work perfectly. Custom glovebox. Aftermarket AM/FM Bluetooth Kenwood stereo with front and rear speakers. New custom shifter and Hurst knob. Custom powdercoated dual hoop bolt-in roll bar.Convertible top and frame is also new and well made. Custom aluminum roll-up window cranks and door latch handles. Custom Aluminum steering wheel with matching tan leather wrap with matching stitching. Custom hand-made 1/2” thick wood dash (not just a thin veneer) that is truly a work of art and fits the car perfectly. Air conditioning blows fairly cool and has a 2-speed fan. Heater works great and has a separate fan control.

Odometer: Reads about 3,300 miles of which 3,100 miles are on the entire build, except for only 200 miles are on the new engine and transmission. Vehicle is super reliable and a ton of fun, therefore currently being driven !
