Trump musel car
Trump Musel played jazz fusion in the 70's, right??? Cool provenance.
I wonder how much of that body is bondo.

FTFY
If you think about it, "trump" is what "triumph" would sound like when filtered through a really thick Appalachian or Southern accent...
My bet is that's a TR8 and the idiot doesn't know it. The dual exhaust, poseiden green paint, and double bulge hood all point towards a V8 under that hood. If so, $1800 is a fare price just for a parts car.
For $1800, I'd at least go take a look at it, on the premise that it might be a TR8. It's hard to tell from the photos, but those might be Minilites, too.
interesting.. of coruse the TR7 was not introduced until 1974.. so a 72 TR7 would be a real unicorn.
And the vert did not make it till 1979?
wow...clist is finding creative and exciting ways to reach a new low...
Wow... is that tartan door panel fabric a factory option?
Sounds like it would be a fun Challenge car regardless...
i predict cutter's next post will be "just picked up TR8" or something very similar!

Yep, the tartan is from factory, and it's AWESOME.

No, the 7 had the double bump hood too after 1979, The dual exhaust could be aftermarket but the wheels (hard to see) look like tr7 steel wheels. Plus the paint looks like a respray and Poseidon green was available on the 7 as well.

Not really articulate ....
Got another email:

I wouldn't buy anything from that guy on principle.
Apparently, English is not his best language.
i try to live by as few rules as possible. one rule i do live by, however, is never buy a car from a guy who says "Good car has roll cage clutch. Preasher plate all new new alternater. Got Britannica inteareter window off track but up preaty clean for age new tires good stickers Dull exzost"
that's my attempt at getting into Say What?!

I don't know if i'd have the patience to explain the concept of "scrap price" to this particular individual.

I've worked retail... I'd manage...

Angry only lives by 2 rules. The other is "Never capitalize "I." So humble, the angrydude.
"No, the 7 had the double bump hood too after 1979, The dual exhaust could be aftermarket but the wheels (hard to see) look like tr7 steel wheels. Plus the paint looks like a respray and Poseidon green was available on the 7 as well."
No kidding. But... The point is that TR8s only came with a double bulge. If it had a single, that would preclude it from being and 8. Also, for the most part, 80 TR8s only came in 4 basic colors with Poseidon green being one of them. Metallic colors on the cheaper TR7s were much less common. The wheels are definitely a minilite of some form or another. When was the last time you saw a dual exhaust with single outlet mufflers on a TR7? I've never seen one, but just about every TR8 I've seen has them!!! My bet is better than 50% it's got a V8 of some sort or another in it. Whether it's original or not is to be determined. Did you also notice the homemade/aftermarket fiberglass rear bumper? Looks like the front might be glass as well.

I know a rally mechanic who spells like that, sells very high-end stuff on the local forums sometimes. One time he was selling a rocket-type anti-lag system, I remember the the control system for it was in the 5-digits
But does it have a turbo encabulator?
