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>
