1971 Triumph GT6 – Meticulously Built, Track-Ready, and Street-Capable

1971 Triumph GT6 – Meticulously Built, Track-Ready, and Street-Capable

Offered for sale is this 1971 Triumph GT6, the product of an extremely thoughtful, meticulous, and professional build. Designed for competitive track use yet surprisingly well-mannered on the street, this GT6 represents the perfect balance between performance and drivability. It includes a clear Colorado title and can be made fully street legal with the installation of headlights and turn signals.  This GT6 is exceptionally well-tuned, starting easily every time and runs exceptionally well.  Although it is a purpose-built performance car, it is surprisingly tractable and comfortable for street driving.

Engine & Drivetrain
Power comes from a professionally built GT6 race engine by the highly reputable, Pete Christensen of Total Precision Engines in Fort Collins, Colorado, with only approximately 4 to 5 hours of track use over the last three years. Engine features include a roller rocker valve train (no adjustment required), extended-capacity oil pan, windage tray, spider oiling system, Accusump, oil cooler, and remote oil filter. Fuel delivery is handled by a Holley fuel pump with a backup pump already installed. AN fittings and braided fuel lines are used throughout, and ignition is upgraded to a 123 Ignition system.

The transmission is a 1973 TR6 unit mated to a hydraulic throw-out bearing, with a clutch bleed nipple conveniently located in the engine compartment. The rear differential runs a 3.89 ratio with solid CV axles and a 1-inch spacer to lower the car. An expensive high-torque starter ensures quick and reliable starts every time. Exhaust exits through custom headers into a single straight pipe, with two new mufflers recently fitted to allow for comfortable street use. Induction is via Stromberg carburetors.

Suspension, Brakes & Handling
The car sits one inch lower in the rear, with front coilover shocks and suspension retaining straps, and adjustable shocks in the rear. High-strength aluminum spindles and an extremely stiff, bulletproof front sway bar deliver precise handling. Stopping power comes from slotted front disc brakes.

Safety & Equipment
A brand-new fire suppression system is installed, with the suppression tank currently occupying the passenger seating area—this would need relocation if a passenger seat were added. The Accusump system occupies part of the passenger footwell but can also be relocated if desired. Five-point racing harnesses are installed and valid through 2025.

Wheels & Tires
The car comes with eight new Toyo Proxes R888 tires mounted on VTO rims, ensuring optimal grip both on the track and on spirited drives.
