The smart option is to restore it! Spend 2 years and $35,000 on it. Make it a beautify machine and sell it for $25,000. You've only lost 2 years and 10 Gs. Think about how much farther ahead you are

Could it be a "street able track day car"? You'd get more seat time and pleasure for your money and leave a door open to further convert to full race later. It would make an excellent race car for su

It is a 1980 convertible, green, with AC. It is a very nice find for the price, and would not take much to get it on the road. Should we do an Edelbrock manifold and carb? Shawn Sent from Yahoo! Mail

The engine will respond to tuning. I recall that the TR8 had a low compression engine, a less-than-ideal intake manifold, and a smog camshaft. Throttle response is greatly improved with a bump in com
