Your out on left field.. The thread started as whats a shortblock and tranny worth. Really simple question.
All of a sudden we hear 3000-4500 dollars.
We have a parts for sale forum. Show me a stock shortblock and tranny fetch 2500. Not even 1500. More like 1000.
This wasnt a whats a shortblock worth to someone restoring a car 20 years from now.
There are plenty of low mile TTA's. Actually way too many. Thats why they dont command the prices we'd like.
Why restore, buy a low mile original and avoid the headaches. Unless your overseas and then I can see it. Here in the states.. the cars and items are plentiful.
Yes someday that shortblock and tranny will command a premium. As will any parts thats been discontinued on these cars.
Dont think the TTA will gain ZL1 status ever.
