The alternator is missing.The engine number is KD50387E, which is consistent with Triumph not matching engine# and the chasis#, but getting close. The numbers are only 37 away from each other. See attached photos.The engine does not run, but turns over easily with a battery hooked up.The transmissionis not included.Since there is no "O" for overdrive at the end of the chasis# the car was most likely came with a 4 speed transmission. The drive line is included. It has been disconnected to allow the car to roll easier for transport. A common upgrade to these cars is to add a Toyota W58 5 speed transmaission from a Supra or Lexus CS300.The interior needs completely redone. The car has an aftermarket steering wheel possibly "Grant". The seats are there but needreupholstered. There is no carpet and the rear panels are all missing. The black headliner is there,and insurprisinglygood condition with a few seams pulling apart.The wood dash is in good condition and the only switch not there is the headlight switch.The bodyand paintare in poor shape. A tree branch landed on the hood, caving in the "power bulge". There is rust.The battery box has rusted forward, the rear apron is rusted through at the seam and the drivers floor has rusted through in places. You can see the floor under the seats are good as is the passenger side floor, which is holding water from a wash.The brakesare stock with the 9.7" disc in the front and 8" drum in the rear.The suspensionis stock 4 wheelindependent, coil springs in the front and leaf spring in the rear. The rear drive axles have the rotoflex doughnutjoints.The steeringis stock, manual rack and pinion.The wheelsare painted 13"x 4.5" steel wheels.The tiresare radialstires and the front ones look nearly brand new Toyo's.The historyof the car is incomplete. The serial number indicates the car was the 350th GT6+ built. It has the rear defrost window withverticallines, left overs from the GT6 Mk1. You can also see the front chin/spoiler hasdiagonal slits on either corner. Thats also left overs from the GT6 Mk1, which had lower bumpers, with brackets through those diagonal slits.The speedometerreads 98,242 miles, but the exactmileage is unknown.The locationof the car is Seabeck, Washington, just west of Seattle.The shippingof the car is the responsibility of the buyer from its current location.Payment is$500 deposit within 48 hours and the remaining balance due within 7 days of the sale.The sale is final and the "as is", "where it is".

The titleis clear and signed by the previous owner. There are no keys to the car, but the steering wheel turns freely. The car rolls fine. I was able to tow it on a dolly for about 40 miles with no problems. The emergency brake does not work, but I'm sure any transport company will chain/strap it down.
