Prancing Deer: 1972 Triumph Stag Custom

The Triumph Stag was a 2+2 convertible sports tourer designed by Giovanni Michelotti (known for his work on the Triumph Spitfire, GT6, TR4, Ferrari 250/340/375, Maserati 3500/5000, and BMW 2002...you get the idea) and produced by Triumph. Today's Stag has been de-bumpered and the result is a car that looks more mid 60s Lotus or Ferrari than something from Coventry and with the addition of a Chevy V8 (big upgrade over the small 3 liter Triumph V8...maybe not in terms of cool, but certainly torque and power). Find this 1972 Triumph Stag Custom offered for $5100 in Tampa, FL via Facebash Marketrace. Tip from David S.

  1. "Ferrari conversion"? WTF?
    It was a cool car without trying to make it something illogical and absurd.
    Only a fool would prefer to own a bastardized non-Ferrari than a classic Triumph.

  3. I hate to mention it but the Pininfarina bodied 65 Ferrari gt 330 2 + 2 had had a Michelotti V12 engine with Dunlop brakes and electrics and wire wheels from ? with a solid rear axle and drove like a truck. So it was almost a kit car from the factory.
