My car has been family owned since new and only has 99,430 miles. It has always been garaged except when it was at the shop waiting for work to be performed. The car is black with grey interior. It is a t-top car, but is exceptionally tight. You have to really pull the door hard to close it due to its being so air tight. Cotton's has done all of the work on the car over the past 12 years. As you can see from the list below, there have been a lot of good mods performed on my car. It has run a best of 11.0@120 but with the old CPT65 turbo and it has a new 66 ball bearing turbo on since last season. It has never had a roll bar or cage and still has the factory air, converted to 134A several years ago. NO RUST! I even have the factory window sticker! Asking $14,900. 87 TTYPE Body NO RUST!

As a relative newb to this scene (as an owner anyway) Which is preferable? we4's or Chrome (I'm guessing the limited) cars? And is it just a matter of rarity?
Don't want to take away from this guys thread. When your dealing with T's its a matter of preference. I have a we4 but would love a chrome bumper black regal. I thnk they look real sharp. That's why I asked the question. Good luck with sale
Actually, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Mine happens to be a blacked out turbo T that I honestly haven't really driven yet except to test drive it and buy it. My buddy is trucking it up to me this weekend. But the one thing I kinda liked that it doesn't have is the chrome bumpers. I suppose that's not too hard to fix, but I'm not sure I will because it looks great in all black too. Second the GLWS for ya! looks like a sweet ride!
Update -- I took the car to Hemmings Musclepalooza on 5/27. The car is stronger than I remembered! With 20#'s of boost, I ran 11.459 @ 119.96. The sweet spot for the turbo is 25-28#'s, so you can see it's capable of easy 10's. Again, since I don't have a roll bar or cage, I'm linited to 11.5 or slower. Great car for someone that wants an extremely quick street car that the A/C still works on.
My trade would be a 30th anniversary z28 Camaro Convertable with a LT1(5.7L) engine. I bought it so I wouldn't put too many miles on my 86T. Guess what, the Camaro just sits in my garage. I don't like sitting so low to the ground. Plus, when the top is down I feel like my forehead is going to smash into the windshield. I love my TB. I want another one to share my weekend miles!
Yes it is. It hasn't been out of the trailer since Musclepalooza over Memorial Day... Where are you located?
