@wmankeyman diff. is 9" ford 3.55 gears, tremec 5spd. not my car but I have entertained the thought of buying a tr4 in need of a resto & doing it up like a shelby cobra, making it look like it came that way in the 60's.

nice tr4! but those wheels are superb, are they custom made and what size 18 or 19 inch?

[Vancouverbyte]

@scorpioman59 the wheels are Centerline Smoothies. I think 17"

@wmankeyman just read your comments it has a 9 inch with 3.55 s strange axles it bites real good it had a 1,52 sixty foot time on a ten sec. run weight distribution is great 49 percent front 51 rear . drives great Ron

@DriverSeat2 are you kidding a corvette? maybe a well done cobra but this car is fast ten sec street legal i,d take it over a corvette anyday regards Ron

@1RadNomad an odd comment very popular car and improved in most peoples opinion but each to his own, running gear, interior braking , handling , all better i love it, anything but not butchered .well each to his own cheers

[ronhudsonsr]

there are corvettes on every corner this car is one of a kind it is a ten second racecar and driven daily , i love it,

I had a TR4A back in 1969, not sure what year it was, but mine had a panel/scoop? on the hood like yours. Was that a custom job or did a certain year of TR4A come with that on the hood? It was a sweet car. Yours is gorgeous.

What a waste!! Dude, if you want a V8 that makes lots of noise, get a Corvette or Cobra!

[cupidGYM]

It would actually look nice if it didn't have cobra badges and side exhaust!

@1RadNomad i couldn't agree more.... completely butchered! Looks like its been put together very well, and im sure millions would disagree, but i think its over the top and far too brash for a beautiful little British sportscar. I'd be gutted if i ever sold my TR4 and the next guy tore its soul out. Just my opinion though.

[wmankeyman]

I LOVE it!! I thought of doing similar. I'm curious what your diff. gear ratio is. I was talking about this with an uncle of mine and he said "you'll never get traction". Muscle-car people and sports-car "purists" never can understand!!
