1988 GTA Red Project - Body with Title - Offers

This is a real 5.7 GTA red with tan. Drivers door is creased pretty bad and
the RF has one as well. Paint is faded from a FLA life and the front seats are
pretty well gone but the dash is perfect including the digital gauges and radio.
I bought the car for the motor and trans because it drove so great and really hate to see a car like this go to the crusher but don't have the time to sell individual parts and work on my current project at the same time.
So looking for offers on this southern rust free body with a good title(not a salvage title).
Mileage is about 100K or so. If you can do bodywork this car may be for you but if you need to pay someone probably not.

I think the disk brake rear end is POSI but not sure and the brakes on all four corners look new. Big sway bars as well - I can measure if needed.

Air works good and I will not be using those parts.

I may decide to keep the seats for another project but it is basically a complete car now and I can pickup a door locally pretty cheap if needed.
I do have complete low mileage 305TPI with 700R4 low if interested.

Might be able to deliver within a few hundred miles of Anderson SC.

I don't have any photos yet but send me a PM with your email contact if interested. I will not be able to pull the motor and trans for a few weeks but wanted to gauge interest on the remains before I made any decisions.

$1000 OBO for the roller minus motor/trans ???
$750 for the 305 TPI/700R4 ??

If you dont keep the seats (which you said are trashed), how much would you ask for the seat frames and rails? As the set

I assume you mean the front buckets? The front seat backs with netting look pretty nice and the electric motors seem fine. It's just the leather/vinyl covering is not good but the cushions are not too bad.
Just looking for reasonable offers. Shipping these would a be major hastle though.

I veriifed the Posi rear is a 3.27 ratio according to the tags.
Previous owner advertised as WS6 but I don't know how to validate.

Re: 1988 GTA Red Project - Body with Title - Offers

I know its a long shot, but any possibility that you still have the car? I live in Simpsonville SC. I would love to possibly have another red/tan 87 GTA and would probably do a motor/trans swap anyway.

this sounds great but I might have to wait a bit before I could snag it from you, but it'd be nice to know it could possibly still be there.

Re: 1988 GTA Red Project - Body with Title - Offers

I still have the car and haven't done anything with it.
Might sell the whole car as I haven't had time or a place
to pull the 5.7 engine and trans.
I still have a 5.0 motor and trans if I keep the 5.7.
Actually I have two 5.0s with TPIs now.

Love the tread! Did you tune the computer for the new injectors yet?
Also, how did you go about polishing the intake?
