Description of 1963 Triumph Other |
New parts installed (with receipts, most parts from Moss Motors) in the Spring/Summer 2017:
I bought this car in March of 2017 in Washington state (where I was living at the time) because I wanted a fun, unique car to drive across the country. It was already in pretty good shape, but I went through it piece by piece for several months on nights and weekends getting it all prepped for the trip. This car is a proven runner! I started driving it in mid-June in the Seattle area and have zig-zagged it across the country all the way to the east coast. Other than a piece of the throttle linkage coming unhooked while driving (about a 5 minute fix on the side of the road), I haven't had one problem with it. I drove it through 100+ degree temps in Nevada in traffic and the temperature never got above the high side of normal. I've driven it over mountain passes. On the freeway for 10+ hour days. Putting around towns I stayed in for a week or so. You could get in this car and drive it back to the West coast today. The 15X4.5 60 spoke painted rims and Vredestein 165/80/15 radials come from Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro, N.C. This guy is the wheel/tire expert in the US for old British cars. Read on his site about not only how he perfectly balances and trues the brand new wheels, but also preps, balances, and trues the tires! This helps give the smoothest ride in these old British cars that you'll ever have. http://www.hendrixwirewheel.com/serv_tour.html Being a 55 year old car, it's not perfect. From driving it so much, I am very familiar with it and all of the little idiosyncrasies. I'd be happy to answer all questions and show you everything I know about it. Here are the current issues:
I have had a lot of fun with this car. Nothing beats cruising around town with the top down. You don't see these very often! Why am I selling it? Well, I bought it for this trip across the country and that's it. I'm currently a nomad traveling around (I work remotely, so I have that luxury), and I'll be traveling to Europe in a few months. So, I will no longer have room for it in my life! Maybe I'll pick up a funky old Citroën while I'm over there... :) I have a box of spare parts, the official Triumph manual, and the Haynes repair manual that I'll give you with the car. If you are in the area, come take a look, and if you're seriously interested I'd be happy to take you for a spin. Clear title in hand! -Joseph Oppegaard |
