If somebody wanted a complete collection of intercooled TR's, ie 86-87's what would needed. Here is my list what am I leaving out?

1. GNX
2. 87 GN
3. 86 GN
4. 87 WE-4
5. 86 WH-1
6. 87 T
7. 86 T Type
8. A Limited


I know I am leaving some out, my dream is to have the complete collection, by what I have now I am only 2 short but I know I am leaving some out....
 
Get two 87 T's

87 T with W02 black out and an 87 T with chrome trim package (not a limited)
 
Id think the complete package would include the rare colors,column shift and floor shift.

And IMO,the rarest is the color that appears to be forest green.Ive only seen 1.
 
Depends on how deversified you want it to be. The T and T-Type had many different color combos to chose from. The two tones from '87 come to mind. The rare yellows and greens if you are into that.

Also the seating options that were available could be represented. In '86 you could get the cloth or leather bench in a T-Type though most came with buckets. In '87 the Limited could be had in velour or leather interior. As stated the wo2 black out trim is reputed to be rare on a Limited. The bench was also the base seating in the '87. I am also a big fan of cornering lamps on the front fenders. On some cars I have seen a chrome trim on the rear and bottom of the driver/passenger window though this might be part of the Limited when not equipped with WO2. Also the '87 could have had a landau roof. I'd like to see this with the cf5 astro roof.

Fully loaded vs stripped down no option cars might add to the interest.
 
I know where there is a 1 owner 49k origional mile WE4 for sale:biggrin:
 
Agreed with TexasT, I didn't see a '87 Two tone Designers Series in there anywhere. I've never seen one of these with black out trim tho. Only ever seen them in chrome.
I would also go for a Black out trimmed black Limited that was built during the WE-4 time frame. They are out there, I've seen one. That looks like an awesome collection.
Just my O2s worth.

You are a freak! Are you trying to give Harrah's a run for their money in car collections? :biggrin:

I agree with this....

I got a couple of the chrome trim cars.... I forgot about the W02, a white car moonroof white with blue interior is my dream car.... Want it about as bad as the X:eek:

I am selling 3 cars this week to Bweavy, money is headed up North for a big surprise:biggrin:
 
-GNX
-Dark Garnet Red "TNX" (working on it)
-Identical "TNX" done in Navy Blue Metallic
-Black Limited T-top with Burgandy pillowtop leather benches and chrome package
-Silver 87 T, blue bucket interior, WO2, options galore.
-Black 87, tan buckets, t-tops, WO2, black bumpers, no options
 
I know its going to be hard to document, let alone find one, but how about one of those ultra rare 1986 FBI T-Types?

Find one with the paperwork and the OEM chip and you'd have something IMO.

I've never seen the SPID label so I dont know if there was any special RPO/COPO codes to distingish one, but I can say they had a special code for the non-speed limited chip.

No need to post I saw a GN with blue lights back in the day or the CHP used them. The 86 FBI cars are the real deal and can only be considered the only legit pursuit TR built by GM. Anything else is ,well a GN with blue lights.

And youve parted out every option of these cars I bet!:biggrin:
 
Hmm, I happen to know where an 86 WH-1 could be found......
 
Going to keep it to yourself or are you going to share? :biggrin:

Depends on who's asking, but there is one in this area I've been after for a while. Looks like a recent repaint but the grey looks too light, have not been able to look at the RPO label.
