'88 TA Heavily Modded - Come take it away

Hey everybody, long time no see; use to hang around on this site a long time ago... I've got this project car that (until three years ago) I drove as a daily driver. I just don't have the time or the desire to mess with it and it's just rotting where it sits. Ideally I'd like it to go to a fellow third genner so I'll be posting it here first. There's roughly twenty grand in parts here, I've got the receipts, so you can make some bean parting it out if you like, but I don't have the time or the patience for that.

Engine

ARP studs and bolts throughout

KYB Struts and shocks
Spohn Adjustable Panhard Bar

Worked 700R4
Aluminum finned deep pan

Billet Transmission Dipstick
Polyurethane Transmission Mount
Amsoil Tranny Fluid
3.70 gears (?)

Brakes

Exhaust

Haltech E6GM Computer
Old, crappy laptop to go with it (lol)
New dash pad

Exterior
Dark Tail Lights (Spare set of dark taillights as well)
Fourth Gen Ram Air II Fiberglass Hood
Door handles removed, solenoids with door poppers
Fourth Gen side mirrors
Fourth Gen four pedestal spoiler

Extras
Aerospace Electric Water Pump
MSD Billet Distributor for 1988 305 TBI
Single Turbo system designed for Corvette/carburetor
Fiberglass Notchback
Pair of Chevy bare heads 446 camel hump
Twin TBI project with manifold, adapter and TBI systems

Things wrong with it
Doesn't run right now; haven't put the time into figuring out why but it's just sat for a long time
Very leaky transmission front seal
Exterior getting in rough shape
Door solenoids/poppers aren't popping
Interior door panels removed for fourth gen door panel project which I have and go with the car
(The hood's not closed in this shot)











I'd like to get $4k for the lot (the engine alone cost more than that); just come by, throw it on a flatbed and take it away. Please, unless you're serious, don't ask for more pix or more information, I need to get this gone quick. And again, I don't want to part it out, if you do, that's fine with me. Email me.

S.

PS: I tried posting smilies where I wanted to indicate "humor" but evidently those count against you as "images" and I figgered you'd rather see the car. = )
