Thanks for the quick response. The guy who is selling the car is named Shawn Oconner, he seems to be a really good guy. He has a shop actually out in Clarition PA, from what I have heard he really knows his stuff about Turbo Buicks.

i know shawn, he is a great guy, and from what i have had experience with him, he stands by his words, and is a straight forward guy, he is also a board member here, but that ebay name doesnt look like his, i would call him, send me an e-mail if you want his # be sure its really the person selling, not a poser using his name

 

[MJDreger]

Yeapers. I would love to buy that car right now, but as of right now I have two cars already, and I don't have a garage, so I would probably have to leave it at my parents house with a car cover over it.

 

[MJDreger]

You may be right, maybe shawn isn't selling the car, but in the pictures in the background that is shawns shop in the background. I have is # also but thanks

An "A" title usually indicates it is a 1 owner car.

 

[MJDreger]

Thanks, that is actually good to know.

And, in other states, the original owner has no letter attached to the title I.D.

The second owner has an "A", 3rd a "B", and so on.

Shawn is the man, anyone who is anyone with a TR in pittsburgh knows him. I have gotten many G-body parts off him and have frequented his shop just to BS. He built many engines & trannys for TR owners and g-body owners in my circle of friends. He has done work on other turbo cars too. As his screen name states he is a boostjunkie Clairton is like a 15 min cruise from pittsburgh.

A title car means the first owner or one owner. Its not used much anymore but the owner used to be classified as a letter, A title would be the 1st, B title the 2nd and so on.....
