Looking for a 66 T100c to rebuild or restore. Doesn't need to run but would prefer it be mostly intact.
Thanks

Better start your nationwide Craigslist search. I have no idea about Facebook Marketplace and others, but that is a terribly specific bike you want. Good luck.

If you waant something 'close' like a 67 Trophy:

Good running old Triumph. Cases split all new seals bearings and bushing. Electronic ignition. Harley tree and forks with Honda lowers and front wheel could replace with original Triumph frontend if you want. Just need to change out the races.
I have put on a couple thousand miles.

Thanks for the help everyone. Are any of these years part interchangeable. I know the SC has the high pipes and was wondering if you can swap the higher pipes onto a bike that has the lower pipes?

 

[atomsplitter]

If memory serves the designations in the US were C for 'competition' and R for 'road.' Most of the C models were sold new west of the Mississippi river and the R's sold east of it. Over the intervening 60+ years they have migrated both directions. The C bikes had the factory high pipes and R bikes the low pipes. Tuning from the factory was a little bit different as the exhausts changed where the power band was delivered.

yes lots of parts including the pipes are interchangeable. like atom said, you might have to tweak the carb settings for those. not hard, as the manuals have starting points. the high pipes are pretty expensive. a new set of everything front to back for a 650 TR6 costs about US$1450. im not sure about the T100s.

get a parts manual for the years youre looking at

you can compare parts numbers to see what interchanges. but broadly speaking, everything in the 1960s interchanges over several spans of years. use the pictures in the manuals.

Good to know that lots of parts are interchangeable and the years are alike.

Found a 1965 T20C for a great price. How close is this to a T100 besides for the motor size. Don't know much about British bikes
