Summary:
Used 1977 Triumph Spitfire 55,577 miles, Red
Description:
Make: TriumphModel: Spitfire 1500Year: 1977LHD, 49-State U.S. versionVIN: FM63981UList price: $5000, and transport from current location in Orange County, CA is the buyer�s responsibilityMileage:55,577 Previous ownership history was not detailed at the time of purchase. The current owner has had it since early 2021, in North Carolina from 2021-22 and then California from 7/2022 onwards. NOTE: REGULAR SALE OUTSIDE CALIFORNIA. IN CALIFORNIA, I will sell this as NON-OPERATIONAL ONLY. I love this car and it runs very well (used to be my daily driver in North Carolina, 2021-22). Unfortunately, it has several modifications that mean IT WILL NOT PASS a California SMOG in its current condition. I managed to find a temporary solution to help it pass the first SMOG, so the title and registration are up to date, but I can�t afford the restoration it will need to pass a California SMOG every 2 years. I have a ton of videos and photos that I can share- feel free to message me and I'll send you the link as the post limit is 4. DESCRIPTION: Chassis and frame are rust-free. No collisions under current ownership and no history of salvage on the VIN. The car was a daily driver (10-15 miles per day, 3-4 days/week) between 2021-22 in North Carolina. Since relocating to California in July 2022, the car has been driven rarely due to poor road conditions in Los Angeles. Routine service (oil change, brake checks, transmission, etc.) has been performed every 3-6 months during current ownership. New wheels, tires, and brake pads are in great shape. Front pinion seal occasionally leaks a (very small) amount of oil. There is some cosmetic damage. There are several paint chips on the exterior (photos included). The interior is in functional condition, but could use restoration (especially a new transmission tunnel cover). There is a new leather soft top installed but it was off for several months so it needs to be re-stretched and some of the snaps need to be re-attached to make it watertight. Radio antenna was damaged during transport from NC to CA (2022) and needs to be fixed. Modifications/repairs by current owners:2023:Replaced original wheels (rusted and bent in several spots) with 13" Minilite Replica Wheels and new tires (2023). Tires are covered by Discount Tire/America�s Tire for their lifetime.Fuse box connections repaired (loose) 2022:Had exhaust pipe and muffler position adjusted to avoid scraping the road surface (poor road conditions and steep inclines in Los Angeles). Also improved vibrations while the engine is running.Upgrades to alternator wiring and mounting so the car can use modern alternators (installed a GM) because the old Lucas alternators/replicas constantly fail 2021:Wiring harness completely replaced to address multiple faults and burned out segmentsBattery cutoff switch installed for electrical safety (and theft prevention)Breather valve added to valve cover gasket to reduce crankcase pressureConverted to Weber downdraft carburetor with manual chokeNew exhaust headers installedNew spark plugs, spark plug wiresNew handbrake cables installed to replace worn cablesNew turn signal indicator switch and horn push button installedFuel tank cleaned, new fuel line installedNew shock absorbers, springs, and wheel bushes (front and back)New brake shoes and wheel cylindersClear glass halogen headlamps to replace old frosted headlampsReplaced bulbs in tail, reverse, and indicator lightsHydraulic hood (bonnet) lift kits installedNew batteryNew seatbeltsNew windscreen wipersPassenger side mirror installedNew horn Known modifications/repairs by past owners:Replaced mechanical fuel pump with electric fuel pumpAdded a second fuse box **Additional tan canvas soft top and Haynes manual included
