I loved the bit about "and was cut free of a pine tree and was saved from the woods(as you can see :)."

Steve,
I doubt that there's $500 worth of parts salvageable left on this poor excuse for a "excellent condition" TR6. Too bad someone did not rescue it 25 years ago. Since it's a 71 though...someone on this list may like to have it. Rick??? Don??? I'd like to have the brass tags from the ZSCD175's if still on it!!

Doug, My one remaining tag is for sale...
1 caveat, you have to buy both carbs with it!
Don Kelly

I think the seller needs to check the dictionary for the definition of "good". Mine was in better shape when I started and I would say it was in terrible shape. And with all the missing parts I doubt restoration will be cheap. Too bad this wasn't pointed out earlier. I was in Savannah at the beginning of Feb and drove back up 95. Could have stopped in a taken a peak.

Geez Mike, would have had you check up on my college girl while you were there.
Gotta keep an eye on her.
As we speak she is an hour and a half from Seattle on the big bird .
Don Kelly

Don, those two little tags are the ONLY parts that I have been unable to source. I have one, but it's mangled so if your is L, it'd be in a better home for you to send it to me! I have a few odd tags including some aluminum ones I've gathered from kind souls wishing to help me out, but not having the right tags!! What I need should be numbered 3385L, 3385R!!

3365 F, maybe an R but I thought they were Front and Back
Don Kelly

Don, the C3365 are from 1970 production. The alpha code is L and R for left (rear carb) and right (for front Carb) when viewed from the curb side of the car. If I recall correctly your -6 (CC58660) was producted in Nov 1970 for the 1971 model year, but should have had the 3385 carb ID.

Remember, those early 71's had a lot of 70 stuff on em
Don Kelly

Oh well. There goes another potential source!! Rod, if you're lurking, go look in the attic again!!

Why don't you just have them made?
Don Kelly

Hey Don

Is she in Savannah or nearby?
Michael Petryschuk

She going to school at SCAD and her dorm is in the historic district.

Don,
Probably my best solution. Been looking for a shop to take it on. Appears that a local "trophy" shop may be able to do it. Will advise. May be others who need these little tidbits!!

Very impressive video Don.
Michael Petryschuk

Finally!

Rod Nichols

Rod,
Looks like a major effort. Finishing up my Carbs then only the peripherals like starter and alternator and my engine's done!!! Began removing the tub from the frame last night!! Progress!! Here's one of the carbs before final reassembly.
