whats this thing worth

[boogeyman]

u would be semi correct in saying i need fast money, and yes it was a hell of a find, i need to sell a few parts off it to cover some bills, then i can take my time and do it correctly and catalog all the parts i have for it and then people can get all the little stuff they need and make more of the good cars on the road that much better

 

[Grumpy]

In that case, sell it as a whole to someone on here. Parting out a car is a huge hassle.

Jason

99.9% of people have no idea what a hassle it is to piece out a car . Hard parts to find will sell MAYBE for a deal. Bones will sit around for a while then the wife steps in an wants it out of the yard/garage

re: parting it out

just my 2 cents
Part it out. The prices for good clean cars is low enough right now.
In 20 years a car in that condition might be restorable but not now.
saying that:
I need a set of TTA headers and crossover pipe, fuel lines and maybe a dash wiring harness complete if the price is right for a 92 T/A convertible i am converting.
Reluctantly if the price of the headers available keep going up and the quality going down, i will have to go with the other option of putting in a tubular k-frame and using grand national heads with ATR crossover headers and a custom downpipe.
I think most people doing the conversion will find the headers are the deal breaker

im gonna try and get back to everyone here as i can get thru the pm`s, im still waiting on paperwork from the palce o got the car before i either pull major parts from the car or sell it complete.

 

[Pittsburghkid]

any idea on a price for the complete car?

 

[Rodimus_Prime]

There wasn't enough of these to go around in 1989, theres even less now, do you really think in 20 years anyone will give a **** if theres a salvage title on it?

they wont they will just be happy to have one, even if it is rough

hahahaha.. obviously you were not looking for a TTA when they were new Oh... A SALVAGE title is goin to hurt the value of the car !! Even 20 years from now!!
.. I do agree that someone could get it an pick away at it as they got $$$$ BUT right now with $$$$ in hand I don't see it going for much.. I still say piece it out

Let me know what you are looking for out of the whole car or just the longblock. I'm maybe 25 min from you.

[protracracing]

How much do you want for the whole car?

Thanks
Dennis

 

[turboc87gn]

Ive seen worse cars than that fixed ......

 

[MichBC3]

Why don't you just wash it, title it as "experimental" and bring it out to the TTA reunion in Hebron, OH in July?

 

[boogeyman]

ok guys made some headway today on things should have final paperwork this week if all goes well and i can show the car and then if no one wants it i can part it out to everyone who needs parts

 

[boogeyman]

cars gone got screwed by the yard i got it from after all this bs i wish i could go burn the place down since someone from the board here tipped off the guys to what i was gonna do with it. to whoever u are mind your own damn buisness

 

[ZNix]

Why did you get screwed? Did they keep it to part for themselves?

 

[boogeyman]

either the owner or the owners kid cought wind that i was going to sell the car or part it out and put a total stop to all the paperwork that i was supposed to have this week, this was after i already had the car in my possesion and have had it in my possesion for the last 3 weeks since they made it out to be such a big deal that it gets off the property asap. basically what i was told is that i was not going to be allowed to make money off the sale of the car and to get ****ed since i didnt yet have the paper work that said it was mine. the best part of it all was that a buddy of mine that works at the yard told me that someone from turbobuick knew the car and called them and told them what it was and that i was worth some money and basically ****ed me over.

 

[Pittsburghkid]

Well possesion is 9 10ths of the law. As much as I'd hate to see it happen part out the car and let them keep their piece of paper. You shouldn't run a junk yard if you don't even know the value of the parts you have so that's their own fault.

 

[Quiky One]

The internet is a powerful place. My guess is that the junkyard will now part it out, we won't ever see the parts, and they will make $500.

Just move on. You weren't getting rich off of it anyways.
