New HIWD: Van Wilder's Triumph TR6 V8........ (For Sale!)
Here's a beauty: Van Wilder's 1971 Triumph TR6 with Ford Motorsports GT-40 Engine
Van's car came together just in time for him to attend BritishV8 2011 in Townsend, Tennessee. This lovely car provides an especially smooth and well handling ride, due largely to a complete replacement chassis by Ted Lathrop at Fast Cars Inc. - and that's paired with a new Ford Motorsports GT40 engine so you know it'll scoot! Sadly, economic issues will force Van to sell his car. He'll be posting an ad in our classified section shortly. If you're interested in owning a really nice Triumph TR6, you should contact him via this message board's Private Message feature, ASAP. (Click here and select "Send a Private Message".) |

My theory is that this car came onto the market too close to X-mas. Everyone was busy, and probably a lot of people were feeling cash-strapped.
I received a note from Van this morning, and he has decided to drop the price (to $30K). That's a crazy-low price. If you don't need this car, one of your buddies or girlfriends does! |

Hello Van. I'm new to this site. I presume that this car sold a long time ago. I'm looking for something like this if you know of anything available. This site is VERY difficult to search "cars for sale".
Thank you in advance, Dave Page 360 622 6126 |

I drove this car also when a fellow bought from Van. Someone in southern California bought it, and he purchased a water softener from us a few years ago. He said he was going to sell it because his wife couldn't drive it to well. So someone else may have this car now.
This car does not ride like your normal TR6 would being that it has a Fast Cars frame under it. I'm sure that Ken driving this car helped him to get the idea to use the Fast Cars front suspension on his Jag build! |

I'd recommend posting a WANTED ad in the message board's Classified Ads section. |
