We couldn’t believe how great the car looked sitting in his barn covered in dust. When we opened the barn doors, the car was under a car cover, which released a cloud of dust as Neal removed it. Now that he’s nearing 90, Neal decided it was time to move it along. Fast forward 30 years and it was still sitting in the barn. So, the TR went into the barn and the car hobby was put on the backburner. Well, shortly after buying it and having the car fully serviced, his golf game started to improve. It had already undergone restoration but had been parked immediately after, so it needed brakes and some minor repairs. His friend went on the hunt and found this Triumph for him. So, Neal decided to give the classic car hobby a try.
One day out on the golf course, his friend suggested he switch to a hobby he might be a little better at. He was good friends with one of Boise’s most well-known sports car collectors. Neal purchased this TR3A back in the early ’80s. You don’t get calls like this every day, so we dropped everything and jumped in the car. The car was a 1960s Triumph that has been sitting in his barn since the ’80s. He didn’t give much information, pretty much just the basics. He had heard that if you have a barn find, we are the guys to call! So, Neal gave Jesse a call to see if we would have any interest in coming to take a look at his car. Recently, Jesse received a phone call from an older gentleman, Neal, that lives just down the road from us in Nampa, Idaho. This way you can build the car you've always wanted instead of buying one that's not quite right!For more information, please give us a ring or visit our website: nothing quite like pushing back barn doors to find a dusty classic car parked inside! It’s even more of a rush when you have no idea what to expect when you see the find for the first time.
