1988 Formula 305 tbi 5 speed WS6 t-top

http://lakeland.craigslist.org/cto/4909308128.html

Car sold this morning after less than 12 hours on Craigslist!!! Please remove/close this. Thanks for the great interest in my car. I have loved. Hated letting her go. This site and everyone her ROCKS!!!!

It's time for me to possibly part ways. Wife says it's ok to keep and restore. I just bought a 1991 GTA 350 though.

The car is rough over all. But the engine is great. Interior needs to be replaced (carpet, driver seat, rear folding seat). I may find 4th gen cloth seats to put in it.

The last few months it has a little trouble going into gears. If I double clutch it, it goes in fine. It doesn't do it all the time though. It's not only certain gears either. 1-5 will all do it at one time or another. Probably a clutch or clutch fork.

No working ac. The compressor is bad and the hoses look rough.

The good:
- tubular rear LCA and pan hard bar
- poly bushings on the front and rear swaybars and endlinks
- ST lowering springs all around
- KYB shocks and struts
- rebuilt front brakes with new wheel bearings, rotor and calipers
-K&N air filter
- I will be replacing the heater core and radiator in the next week
- I have an aftermarket fan control unit. I haven't installed it yet.
- new fuel pump installed summer 2013
- brand new 200a alternator installed a few months ago

I will be putting the battery from my GTA into this one once I get another one. The Formula battery is getting iffy. Cold starts perfect. Warm starts turns slowly at times. Not all the time.

Looking to sell. Not desperate to sell. I'm thinking $1500 obo. I am very flexible on this.

Re: 1988 Formula 305 tbi 5 speed WS6 t-top

I have a set of 4th gen grey cloth seats going in tomorrow. Sometime this week I will be wiring in the aftermarket fan controller. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow.

I need to vacuum and wash the car before getting photos up. Please bear with me on that. Then I have to figure out how to post them here.

Anyone interested may call or text me at 863-670-5742. Email at pmoul01@gmail.com.

Re: 1988 Formula 305 tbi 5 speed WS6 t-top

Items I forgot:

- Clutch was replaced immediately after I bought the car 3.5 years ago
- new Clutch slave and master cylinder were replaced 1.5 years ago
- 4 new Kumho tires installed 2 months ago
- Car is an original WS6 suspension
- K&N air filter
- Poly Trans mount and torque arm bushing
- Panasonic CD player will go with it (3 sets of 5v preamp outs)
- Oil changes done regularly
- Original t-top bag is in my closet to go with it as well
- New outside door handles
- Alarm with remote
- Sylvania headlamps installed ~2 years ago
- headlight motors both work perfect
- Rear wraparound spoiler was chopped by the previous owner. It is in bad shape as all original ones are by now. It has the rear spoiler without the "arms" that go along the glass
- Fiberglass headliner was mocked up but needs to be properly trimmed around the dome light and holes drilled for the visor screws.
- All interior lights, gauges, etc work properly
- Pulldown motor for the hatch was disabled but mounted to properly lock the hatch. The remote hatch release button works every time.
- The engine and exhaust sound almost as menacing as my GTA 350. I believe it is a Flowtech muffler.

That's all I can think of for now. I've owned it for 3 1/2 years. If no interest, I'll keep it and continue to work on it. I just can't afford to have 3 cars registered. I am willing to go as low as $1,000 as it is now with the replacement parts ready for you to install (radiator, heater core, fan controller).

I guess my photos are too large. I'll see what I can do about that. If anyone wants pics, send me your email. I can do that while I figure this out.

Everyone seems to be a bit far away.

My mom is living in Jax now.
