Don,
I still have not heard back about the green TR6 near Nashville.
My son said the one on Dyler.com looks like the same car (on Facebook) that Harold -heco5375 back on 3-30-20 that was near Nashville. The facebook pictures are not up anymore so I can't say 100% but it sure look like it.

Well that's had time and money poured on it. Looks like a pro build.
I could do without the roll bar, but I think this is the first convertible of any make I've seen on here with what we call a 'breezebreaker', that mesh screen behind the seats that keeps the wind from wrapping around behind you and blowing your hair in your eyes. It really makes driving a lot more comfortable.
To me, that's a very good sign, a sign of a car that was intended to be driven.

Oddly enough, see the Healey forum for a 100-6 I'm about to post.

I do like that LT1 build, especially as I'm building a single turbo one now. Going in a slightly bigger car. That roll bar coming down the center of the car probably burns the crap out of the passengers legs if it sits out in the sun

There's a TR6 with a 327 listed in my local craigslist, not mine.

...TR6 with 327....

Hood scoop neatly done.
And that hardtop looks good. Rather like a Surrey top. Some say the curves of the Surrey don't suit the angular TR6, but I like it.
The exhausts, not so much.
$30k.... hmm.

I am still looking for the right TR6 car.
I did find another 99 percent right car that I was looking for long than than the right TR6. Either blue or white interior would have been 100percent car. Even my wife likes and approved me buying the car.
It is a 1972 Corvette, Bryar Blue with white top and black (hot) leather interior, convertible with match hard top, 350V8, with rebuilt factory air and 4 speed transmission,
Very much like my previous 1972 from days be gone.

Perhaps you should buy a 90%+ car.
You're going to get old looking for perfection.
And no car.

Then you can still look for the 100%.

Do agree though... never could see the attraction of a black interior, unless you're in the business of burying people.

As someone mentioned, the search is part of the fun.
I would settle for a 90% TR6 if I found one that was priced right.
