1969 Triumph TR6 Specifics

I bought a TR6 and it ended up being the 1969 version. Little did I know how hard it would be to bring the car back to original condition. This is an attempt to catalog what I've learned so far and gather any and all info about the truly rare 69 Triumph TR6. The TR6 was introduced in 1969, but right away, the US had several problems with safety, and emissions. Many changes were made before the 1970 release. 53 years later, trying to find parts that were only used once has been a challenge. I've spent 2.5 years so far and a lot of wasted money from bad advice. Hopefully, this will help anyone like-minded. These are specs I found from 1969: TR6 TECHNICAL SPECS Engine, 152 cu. in.
