That's crap. How can someone waste such a fine automobile. It should be driven. But not left to rust outside.

Someone needs to take that away from them and fix it up and treat it right!

At the very least theres a very nice complete TTA drivetrain there for a swap if the body underneath is rotting away. I wish that was in Mass so I could use it for my possible Form conv project. STEVE Z

I didn't know cars rusted in Texas?
Find out how if the car is complete and if he'd sell it, there are many interested buyers I'm sure (like me for instance)

I would love to have the complete drivetrain including the dash system etc.. to convert into my 89 Formula 350 ASC convertible. But since thats a pipe dream, my car is for sale as well. Unless that TTA goes cheap. Z

Yeah Jim.. I want a crack at it also. I really wanted to buy a Camaro vert, but I would easilly give that up for a TTA.
AHHH!!! how did that guy get that car? does he know the value of it? It really doesn't look to be all that bad. just needs a couple weeks of hard work!
If I was him and it meant riding my schwinn to work just to have money to fix up that tta, count me shifting 21 times on the way to work!!!

Believe it or not, I have seen one that was MUCH MUCH worse. It was about seven or eight years ago too. I doubt if it is even on the road still. The one I saw was covered in rust and everybody panel was dinged or dented. The exhaust was dragging and the headliner was torn apart. Basically everything on the car was trashed. I almost died when I saw it. It was a young girl driving it and I was hoping to see it again so I could try to buy it. Unfortunately, I've only seen it that one time.

I didn't know that was in Texas? If it's listed for sale and you aren't going to get it let me know. I will take a crack at it. I would give almost everything I own (Not much) plus cash for that car.

The car is not listed. It has been in that storage area for at least two years. I have been keeping my eye on it, until august of last year when it was no longer viewed from the local HWY. I figured they took it home to fix it, I guess not. I am going to go look at it to. David, have you taken a look to see who ones it yet?

I saw a TTA in the Hoffman Estates,IL area a few years back that had 100,000+ miles and was in bad shape. They had a for sale sign in the window asking $7,000. I was tempted to offer $3K for it.
i wouldn't mind fixing up a TTA.... unless it meant replacing the whole engine and half the body, at that price i'd just look for a higher-mileage one.
but just a guess here, but i don't know if that's all rust. if you look at the door moulding and front bumper, you see the same effect. so a lot of it could be caked dirt. (though the door above the GFX is 99% likely to be rust)
