Two TTAs which one will be better to keep?

[trophystock]

I have two TTAs. My garage is full and I have a hugh itch to get an older muscle car so one TTA has to go. I was wondering what everybodys opinion on which car would be worth more in the long run.

1) TTA #1, 1 of the 5 pilot cars, 32k miles and very nice in and out.

2) TTA #1392 hardtp/cloth 44K miles. Nice car but need paint and small details.

I figure the hardtop needs 5K to make it right where the pilot car needs about $500 to be premium. Both cars are just garage decoration as I feel that the TTA/GTA was the best looking car GM made in the 80s.

Man i wish i had those garage decorations!!! i would really like to know how much that piliot car would go for...

I think its more of a question of time and the market seeing as they arnt gonna degrade at a steep rate sitting in ur garage. If money was the issue i would take the higher value. Otherwise i think the pilot car is awsome! I mean u can actually say u have the first TTA!

LIKE HE SAID...but i guess that answers your question..you can always get another tta with 44k on it..what are the odds of getting another pilot car like yours....but if you are selling the pilot car lets start the bidding

Hey if you wanna trade your Pilot Car for a car you could drive a little more and show, I'd trade my TTA with only 22k miles, perfect interior and the mods o go low 11s on the car plus all the stock parts for it. Anyways, I would be interested in what that car would bring too.

Trophy car

.. you can't drive trophy cars.. and life is short.. so sell it and enjoy the other one while we are still allowed to and fuel is not $20 a gallon..
.. ALSO..important.. what is the month /year of build on the trophy car.. is it complianced etc & how much ball park... are you wanting for it.

I would advertise both and see what one sold first ..

PM me if you're some what interested. The car can be taken back to stock if needed and then would include cash from the parts value.

I had to look a long time to find a hardtop/cloth car (one of 16 I think) so they are kinda hard to come by. I am checking into a four post parking lift right now. I might have enough room to stack one on top of the other.

Sell them both to Gary Wells!

15 built, and I'm glad I'm not in your shoes cause I'd have a hard time selling either one. Just curious how long have you had your hardtop?

I like the looks and price of that lift. I will check that out.

 

[Grumpy]

i am interested in ur pilot car. I have a 1970 GTO RAM AIR 3 400cu....1 owner with all documentaion including original protector plate and window sticker!! Also every reciept from 1970 including all oil changes!!! Rust free CA cream puff!! 130k original miles. A true gem!! PM me if interested

 

[trophystock]

Thanks for the input everybody. I have decided I will sell the pilot car. The pilot car is something that is nice but the hardtop/cloth is a TTA that I have lusted after for many years. I will start preparing the pilot car for sale and keep everybody informed about the progress.
Thanks!!

 

[TTAfreak]

I duno how you can sell a car that is as rare as #1 out of 5.

damn, thats a hard decision.

and IMO it will be worth more in the long run. of course.....theres no way to know that for sure.

good luck.

Gee... I wish I had that sort of decision to make... Mine is pretty one-sided - sell the GTA and keep the TTA. Don't you wish like gave you simpler choices? Get a storage lift, keep them both. That, or sell one to someone really deserving, who you know will cherish it like it was their first-born, and they might allow you visitation rights. What color is the pilot car?
