Has AC compressor installed but just needs the AC lines ran.

Issues:
- Small rip in the back seat side speaker cover
- Small rip in the driver seat on the door side. Will probably just sew this up myself
- Leather glove box needs to be re-sewn at the bottom. No visible tear but you can feel it if you put your hand down there
- Need AC lines ran. Doesn't keep car from running obviously

Mid 11 second street car. Made 467hp/464tq @ 19lbs Obviously has more boost you can throw at it. I just never pushed it that hard to get the numbers

Drives great. Beautiful sound when the boost comes up. :)

This was my car since I was 17. Started out with a 305 TBI. In college, after speaking to some car friends and some help from someone who was going to a stage II motor in their Buick Grand National, I decided to swap in an LC2. The car ended up making 467hp/464tq on the dyno. It had a small piece about it in Pontiac Enthusiasts magazine when they came to see Stenod's shop.

Recently I've decided to move on from doing the car thing for awhile and start a new hobby. Obviously I stored this car every winter and took very good care of it throughout the years.

Big thank you to the following people and shops that helped me with my car throughout the year.

- Mike Mizzi and his brother for the motor swap and fabrication work. You guys did an amazing job
- Stenod Performance for their amazing fabrication work and talking me into that Dana 60. :)
- Engineered Victories for the dyno and transmission work
- Victory Racing for their awesome help throughout the years when I couldn't figure something out and for their amazing tuning work when I needed it most
- LTLHomer for helping me out in the garage when I needed it
- Ryelou for the great deals on the tires
- All of my car friends from all the different sites I've been on throughout the years (MM, TB, TGO..)

And anyone else that's helped me with the car that I forgot over the 15+ years I've owned it.

Feel free to contact me via email (Turbo91Bird@yahoo.com) or by PM.

Looking for $8,000 OBO
 
Thank you everyone.

I need to make a correction the price. I should have put 9,000 instead of 8. That was my mistake.

Just to let everyone know that this is a very nice car. Install was top notch and nothing was hack when installed. Whoever buys this and spends a little time and money to finish the small odds and ends will end up with a one of a kind car that will a great to own. I hate to see this for sale as it's one of my favorites. Good luck with the sale. :(
 
I remember this car from my thirdgen.org days. Awesome rig and very tastefully done. I hope you get what you're looking for.
 
Amazing! I will pass this along to some guys I know that wanted to do this back in the day. GLWS!
 
Thanks a lot everyone. Yeah, the car has been around for awhile on the internet. lol Miss those old TGO and 3rdgen.org days
 
Ok thanks...so the condenser and compressor are still there?

Also, do you have any 1/4 mile times for the car?
 
People were asking for interior photos. See below.

I removed the cup hold from the drivers side because my foot kept hitting it.

i LOVE THOSE THIRDGENS!!

matter of fact i traded a very clean 87 black on black hardtop GTA for my GN i have now!!!

I had a 91 GTA when i was younger... Always wanted to do a LC2 in a TA/GTA. Wish I had the cash!!!!!




BUMP for a great deal! Nice!
 
I see you are in Flint, I was born and raised there and moved away to Idaho, and just sold my 87 T/R and that is the price range for my pocket book, from what I see it looks great to me as long as there is no rust, but just do not wanna do the shipping thing, good luck to you in the selling dept.
