Up for consideration is a new Moss muffler for a TR3/4. Moss part number 862-000.
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProd ... ID=29122#2
I was hoping that I could sneak it under the Warwick, but after fitting, welding and a trip around the block, it is just too low. It won't be a bolt on direct fit back to your TR3/4 as I welded the slip joints. It wouldn't take much to make it work, but it is no longer plug and play.
So what is it worth? Two weeks ago I paid $69 + tax. But there's more. Because I intended to drive the Warwick to Woodley Park and couldn't wait 2 days for UPS, I drove our Range Rover to Moss in Goleta, so that adds another....$80. It get's bad mileage. I had to eat a Habit burger, and since you'll get to keep the extra few feet of 2" tubing I welded to the muffler, we will have to add another $30. I know it is is easy to approach $200 in quantifiable value, so I'll stop adding extras. The real treat is you could own the only TR3/4 center muffler that was tested on a Warwick. There can't be many, and certainly no one else in SoCal can make that claim. If you put this muffler on your TR3/4, you'll know it is unique. If you see another TR3/4 coming down the road, you'll have that inner smug confidence that your muffler has a documented heritage unlike any other.
As you can see, setting a single price point is challenging. RM is coming up in August, but it would be a shame to hold onto it for that long. My preference is to transfer this rich piece of automotive industrial art immediately cash free to new distinguished owner. If you are that person, please send me a PM or email me at healeybn7@yahoo.com.
