Went and picked up an 87 T.

[JDSfastGN]

This weekend my dad impulse bought an 87 T. So my girlfriend and I went to Dallas to pick it up. Here are some pics. It needs a lot of work and has a few small rust spots that will be taken care of. Hopefully after the basic fuel mods, new weather stripping etc... it will make a nice cruiser. it has 111,000 and we picked it up for 5500. This is his first T (i think he finally realized they came in different colors:biggrin: )

WOW, no a/c in Texas. And the bolt in the vacuum block looks bad. Need to put vacuum brakes on it or by the correct one. And replace that fuse with a piece of fuse link and tuck it down by the battery. Other than that it looks great. I think it will be a very nice car cleaned up.

Wow.......good deal!! $5500 is CHEAP for a car that clean. Your dad has good taste!!

thanks guys, yeah it needs a lot of work, and right now he is mostly focusing on his chevelle. Ill post "after" pics after a few weeks of cleaning and maintenence. Oh and it has new AC lines in the trunk and luckily we also have a new compressor new in the box sitting in the garage. I can't do without AC

lol thats the 85.... sadly being a hotair its been the red headed step child the past year or so. I will be jumping on that pretty soon i hope. It has quite a bit of work and should be pretty quick for a hotair.

I saw that on craigslist for $3000 I wish I bought it. are the brakes fixed now? I saw it relisted a week later for 5500 still a deal!!

Nice shape. At least the body's clean. The same can't be said for my hand me down '86 GN. (but that'll change soon enough!)

dang i wish we coulda found it for 3000 i had no idea he had it listed that low. :frown:

87GN_ponykillr im not sure what the code is, i know its been repainted so i have no idea how accurate the paint matches. It seems close to a lot of pics ive seen. The trunk rpo codes were painted over though

just thought i would post some update pics. I removed the intake to replace the gasket due to a vacuum leak. To my surprise this "stock" car ended up having ported heads/port matched intake, some aftermarket cam/lifters, chromoly pushrods and a high volume front cover. The ports on the heads look wavier than they are due to the 1200 gasket being deformed. I also picked up a thunder fab intercooler from a friend. Should be a fun car when i finally get around to swapping on the new brakes. I guess this car was somebodies project and they probably found a better car and swapped most of the easily removable good parts and put the stock stuff back on.
