All true, Bob. But they are from California's Central Valley, so body shells=
likely better than most.
Posted mainly for those following the earlier discussion that Craigslist was=
seeming to be dead as far as vintage TRs goes.

<p>Don,</p>
<p>Looks like they may be able to be restored but 12 grand? They are
totally shot from inside and out. And I bet the engines are seized
up as well. Looks to be a total replacement of everything but the
body and frame. Even if you do it yourself it will take a lot more
than 12 grand to do just one. Are restored 3's getting upwards of
20K?</p>
<p>And are the younger kids interested in a total restoration? <br>
</p>
<p>Based on who I see at car shows and car hops, the 20 - 50 year
range are not a bit interested in the classics either US or
European. They only seem to like the small Hondas with those huge
mufflers. <br>
</p>
<p>I wonder from time to time what will happen to my 3 Triumphs when
I am too old to drive them. At least they look nice and are in
good condition.<br>
</p>
