This is a true car lover's dream... take a light and nimble British classic, drop in a powerful American V8, and make sure that it's finished to a standard that makes it look like the factory intended it to be that way. So take some time on the details of this unique 1967 Triumph TR4A, because someone invested a lot of time, effort, and money to get this right. This convertible has been given a respray close to its original shade of Conifer Green. Of course, the factory could never deliver this level of gloss and shine. So this one looks exceptionally nice when the daylight hits this sunshine-friendly droptop. Having this level of quality really brings out the TR4's design cues. The low-swept hood (bonnet) is formed around the headlight for instant sporty appeal. The investment in the sheetmetal is seen by how the full-length side crease looks like an unbroken line. Plus, Triumph wanted to appeal to the American market with a hint of tailfin. And you can tell there was a nice investment in the brightwork where everything is terrific from the bumpers to that trim line that runs the full profile of this sports car. This has all the best British hallmarks like the Minilite wheels, and the luggage rack that looks ready for a wicker picnic basket. But those dual exhaust tips hint at the upgrades beneath the skin. The roll up windows and well-built folding roof make this an all-weather classic, but we all know the true appeal lies with the top down. And it's worth sharing this one with the world, because people will love to look inside and see how the two side of the Atlantic meet. After all, the low-slung leather bucket seats and wood paneling on the dash are pure British class. But the Hurst shifter, roll bar, and full AutoMeter gauge package with large speedo and tach are signs of American muscle. Plus, with everything from a Lecarra sports steering wheel to an AM/FM/CD stereo, this custom interior is also well-appointed. People are also going to want to see the engine bay, and so it has been made for both show and go. The smooth green inner fender walls funnel your attention to the bright sports like the air topper, Edelbrock valve covers, alternator, and aluminum radiator. And not only are you looking at a mighty Chevy 350 cubic-inch small block, but also it has been enhanced with go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, Trick Flow heads, and Hooker tight-tuck headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. This is a huge increase over the power and torque that came on the Triumph's original four-cylinder, and so the rest of the drivetrain was beefed up, too. It includes a Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a strong Jaguar rear differential. Out on the road, this beastly custom doesn't lose the moves that made the TR4A so desirable. This includes the fully independent suspension and upgrades to four-wheel disc brakes and grippy Goodyear Eagle GS tires. Classic styling meets serious power in one stellar total package. Something this unique won't stay available for long, so hurry before you miss you chance. Call today!!!
