This is my White and Red 92 Z28 with the Turbo Buick drive train (an entire 100% Turbo Trans AM drive drain to be exact)
This car took about two and a half years to build and get the bugs worked out.
It sat in public storage for a winter (I had no idea how damp those places were) and thats when I think the rust started and then it sat outside at a local shop for quite a while while the wiring was worked out so the stripes are faded (they are just stickers anyway) but still the car has tons of potential and I'm probably making it out to be worse than it is.
from memory the car has the following parts:
TA49 Turbo
009 (green stripe 42.5lbs) Injectors
RJC Power plate
Walburo 340 hot wired fuel pump
Red Stripe converter.
Fresh Trans (maybe a couple hundred miles)
1LE Brakes
9 Bolt PBR Rear with a 3:27 ratio
new shocks and struts and sway bars.
Turbo tweak chip
Scanmaster, Boost gage and Knock sensor.
T/Tops
CD
Leather interior
Damn near new tires but I bet you could wear at least two of them out real quick if you were so inclined
All the gages work, including the cruise control, AC (R12) and Tach (but it's off due to it being a V8 cluster) (some pics show a 115MPh cluster but it's been upgraded to a 145MHz cluster)
I've been told the airbag is still active but I have no way to test that
This is an option group 3 car which was top of the line as far as Z28's went back then.
I have the hand written schematics as to what wiring changes were made to make all all the parts from the two 2 cars work together.
Bad:
there is a rust hole starting in the drivers quarter and if it were me I'd patch it and take a look at both wheel wells and the drivers side floorboard is starting to rust.
Something is causing intermittent false knock (you can be driving down the street at 25 miles per hour with NO boost and the gage will go red)... never really looked into it it's not a problem when you get on it.
I know damn well a TTA drivetrain is worth close to 5k
When we installed it we did a leak down test and checked the cam and main bearing clearances, everything was fine and it has good oil pressure.
I've told a few people who asked if it was for sale $7500 but that was before the rust issues started so I'm open to reasonable offers.
I just installed a new coil pack and picked up a crank sensor Friday.
It's pretty quick and one hell of a sleeper.
It could be parted for quite a bit I'd imagine or with a bit of body work be one hell of a nice car.
I know a guy with a rust free TTA roller here locally who wants about 3k for it. Easy way to have a real TTA and a bunch of Z28 parts to sell.
any questions PM me or feel free to post them here.

(some are a couple years old but some are pretty current)
