a lift and a slip is the way to go. I do not envy the ones that haul around and launch every time they boat.

Towing makes ya tough!

Maybe I should switch to ST for our Austin Healey. :lol:

This happened yesterday on Interstate 79 after pulling her out of storage.

Hey thanks D67. It’s been in our family for over 50 years. She’s provided a generation of memories that are priceless.

And you must post pics of yours....even if it is in pre-restoration mode. They are timeless classics for sure. 👌🏻

I didn't have Austin Healy. I was trying to lift the quote out on the pic that was posted on this thread.
I'll post my TR6 when I'm not at work. I have no way to put private pictures on this public work computer.

Wow, another TR6 on the forum. I have a 1976 model I’ve owned since 1992. I bought it with 27,000 miles on it from the second owner. It has 48,000 on it now.

No, past owner. I've had two. Totaled the first in college. Love it so I bought another.
What a fun car. Guitar fit in the trunk. Luggage behind the seat. Beer between the legs. But that was another time.

So I was off on the year, it’s a ‘62/‘63 hence the TR3B designation..... As I said it’s in pieces....

Yeah, her grandfather just passed away so now it takes on more meaning to get it back on the road. I liquidated my 1995 Trans Am convertible to start the ball rolling on this resto.

Nice. My very first car was a 68 firebird and my brothers was a 69 bird.
Man I wish I had money back then to fix them up. Or didn't live in Wisconsin. Still some of my fav cars. I'm a fan of the 73 76 years. I go to visit Yt at Barrett Jackson auction in January in Scottsdale e each year and I always find a few I would love to have. Someday maybe.

Those are great pics D67! I always enjoyed seeing that low TR3 door sill when one went by. You have a fondness for red cars 🚗 like I do for blue cars 🚙.

...and what a great first car BBP. Everyone remembers their first. I wish more folks would have kept their first too. :D
