Gorgeous...absolutely gorgeous! Those cars are incredible. Too bad it has so few miles, so you'll always feel guilty driving it Congratulations on the new baby!!

Re: New addition to the family

Absolutely stunning car. Do you plan on driving or or keeping it stored away in the garage?

Re: New addition to the family

Did you happen to buy this in ebay? I remember seeing one like this with only about 100 miles on it not too long ago. If it's the same one, you really did pay LOTS.

Really nice car though. And I'm glad to see you'll be driving it rather than keeping it hidden away in the garage.

Re: New addition to the family

Yup same one. I just had it appraised and it came in 12g higher than what I paid for it. Now I realize I may not get that for it if I try and sell it but its good to know.

The hard part is deciding what to do with the 91 GTA.

Re: New addition to the family

Sell it to me! lol. I've always wanted a 5 speed GTA. If only you were closer, I had the cash, and the extra space to keep it.

Re: New addition to the family

I'd say keep the GTA and drive it Try to keep the TTA as a sunday driver... or disconnect the speedo when u drive it so u dont add any miles.. lol BEAUTIFUL car I'd kill several men, and children for that car. Maybe a few chicks too if need be.

Re: New addition to the family

I thought all TTA's came with the official pace car on the side? Guess I was wrong. Learn something new everytime i come to this board.

Re: New addition to the family

They all come with the car along with the windshield banner. It just depends if they get put on or not. I dont think I will put the door decals on either but the windshield banner will be going on.



Take your time 92RS..........The 91 is gettin worth more n more every year

Re: New addition to the family

Cars were built to be DRIVEN. Don't feel guilty about driving it. Feel guilty if you DON'T drive it!

The decals were delivered with the TTA to the stealership. It was up to them, to put them on. Lots didn't, and just sold the car bare, with the decals in the hatch. Not real hard to get repros, if you everneed another set, or just want to save the originals.

Not true.

A "owners kit" was given to each TTA and was sold with each car

Each kit contained the windshield banner, two door decals, a TTA key chain, a cassette tape describing the features of the car, a letter of congratulations for the ownership of a TTA, a merchandise card with specific TTA gear, owners manual and TTA supplement, tire warrenty info, spare tire info, t-top info, car warrenty info, an uncut emergency door key, and a case that held all of this stuff in.

Some of the dealers may have installed the door decals but it was intended for the purchaser to decide.

Well, I WAS referring to the owner's kit, but didn't bother to describe the whole kit, as some dealers put them on, some didn't.
