Re: 1987 GTA

Also, mild cam upgrade plus Hyperchip & headers by previous owner. It has new rear shocks and O2 sensor, windshield, rear hatch seal, hood struts, hatch struts, hatch rubber seals, driver & passenger door looks, heater motor relay, AC compressor, catalytic converter. Front brakes, pads, rotors, calipers and a new rear brake line. Replaced rear hatch motor.

New steering parts, inner & outer tie rods, center link, idler arm, gearbox, intermediate shaft.

155k is the mileage, I was told 70k on motor & trans.

12% chance someone actually wants to buy it. 64% chance I waste $4-5K painting it later to wish I sold it.

Well, it won't be black on black again until you paint it, because as said, the paint sucks,

If the other guy that is about a 100 miles away that contacted me first loses interest, I will send you a PM with my cell number.

Thanks

Bob

Yes, hardtop. You asked if it would make it to Scranton? Well, not last night. My son stopped hard for a deer crossing the road and blew out the left front brake hose. That is today's project.

FYI, no deer was injured in this incident.

Actually, I texted the previous owner and he said he rebuilt the motor at 105720 miles.

Re: 1987 GTA

I bought a new one in 1987 and a t-roof was not presented to me as an option.

But someone over the years has claimed it was possible in Canada. True or false?
