This 1972 Triumph GT6 was treated to a thorough restoration about seven or eight years ago, but was put into storage when nearly complete after the owner came down with a terminal illness. The current seller purchased it after it sat for an undisclosed time, and his since driven it 5k miles. More than $40,000 in receipts are available, and it’s said to be completely rust free, strong driving, and very clean with only minor cosmetic imperfections. Find it here on eBay in Greenfield, California.

The rich, deep blue paint looks very nicely done, suits the care beautifully and could be the factory color. Chrome, plastics, glass, and other trim all look very clean and complete, and body work seems very straight with good panel alignment and fit. Minilites are the perfect wheel choice, and those long, shiny, large caliber exhaust cannons might be the car’s best design feature, lending the rear three quarter view real presence.

At 6’3” we’re surprised the owner fits at all, but having to squeeze themselves in and out has resulted in a scuffed driver’s side kick panel. Otherwise the interior is said to be very clean apart from some slightly worn carpet and dulled, original seatbelt latches. The factory steering wheel is included but a good looking, smaller diameter item has been fitted to allow easier ingress/egress. Photography is generally excellent and seems to back up claims of a very tidy cabin.

“Body-off restoration” is an overused term, but the bare, running chassis shots show that it hasn’t been misused in this case. The engine alone is said to have been responsible for a quarter of the previously mentioned $40k figure, and highlights include a performance cam, Isky dual valve springs and roller rockers, and Magnafluxed, polished, shot-peened and balanced internals. Dyno results showed 124 HP 5,800 revs and 120 lb-ft @ 4,700, and the seller says it runs on all grades of gas but prefers mid-grade. Overdrive is said to function perfectly, handling is described as excellent, and brakes as wonderful. All electrics are functional, but the odometer has just recently frozen after rolling over to 90k miles. The seller says they wouldn’t hesitate to drive the car coast to coast and back again.

Though not quite flawless like the other restored GT6 we recently featured, this one represents a much more realistically sustainable driver condition, and looks nearly as nice in most regards anyway. Drive it once in a while, keep up on maintenance and polishing and there’d be very little else to do but enjoy owning it.
