 I have for sale a 1963 Triumph Spitfire with a clear title.  This car was owned by a collector in Utah who towed it to Nebraska when he moved several years ago. (It still has the front bumper removed, which I have, and the tow hitch installed.)  After moving to NE, he parked the car in a garage.  It was purchased several years later by another man who planned to get it running but never finished it.  He told me the master cylinder for the brakes and the clutch both leaked when he tried to bleed them.  He had hooked up a 12v fuel pump rather than the mechanical one on the car.  It will start and run.  The tires are full tread and great shape.  The body is not rusted out, but has several dents, dings, and places where the paint is chipping.  (Please let me know if you need more pics... I tried my best to get a good shot of each side of the car.)  The chrome all appears to be in good shape.  I bought it with two crates of parts including several carbs, extra chrome parts, lights, new carb kits, generator, bearings, seals, gas cap, new timing chain, wheal seals, and all sorts of other things.  I spread part of them out on the floor in the pictures, but there are more in the crates.I also have Chilton type books specifically for this car and for the carbs.    The convertible top is in great shape, but it is missing the rod that goes across behind the seat to hold it up.  Truck bottom is solid and not rusted out.  I think this would make someone a nice little car without a huge amount of work.  It has spent the last several years just sitting in garages.   I have other things in my shop now and could use the space more than the car.  Please call with any questions at 816 261-3705 and I will answer them honestly and to the best of my ability.  Also feel free to come take a look.  If you have have no previous feedback, your bid will be cancelled unless you have talked with me prior.   I can deliver for $2.00 a loaded mile.
Thanks for looking,
Tim

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
