$330.03. My final bid was $603! Told you guys I would do it.

Now I have to see if Hawk's wants it sent there, or to me and I will take it to him later!

Man my heart is still pounding!

Breath..in...out...in...out...

Whew! I was having dreams the past few nights that this thing would hit $1300.00. Talk about anxiety! Geez!

Now I have to worry about this guys packing skills!

 

e-mail him a link to this post so he knows we are depending on him.

 

I just sent him this huge email about packing! I'm going to talk to Hawk's and probably have him call the guy. Last thing I need is it to come in pieces.

Wow my day has been made. Praying does work!

 

glad u won.....so what r u putting it on? redraif?

 

Its for the 82!

 

Wooohoooooo yeah a real notchback may be in our futures.
Thanks Redraif

 

Factory notch backs look gorgeous. All the others look like ***. Just my $.02 .

 

anyone ever thought of reproducing the factory notch... its a nice way to shed a few pounds.... i wouldnt mind doing it to the roc to shed a few pounds.... im my opinion the factory one is still the best... all the others are gay

 

i see some people don't read all the post. or search but let me enlighten u.
1. factory notches are almost nonexistant
2. no one who is active on tgo has one
3. again they are rare to begin with.
4 . the black one is just about the same as factory with a removable window.

here is the pic and hopefully redraif will be able to get it reproduced.

get it sent to you, put it on ur car take pics post those then send it to hawks

 

I think the notchbacks look like poo, but hey thats just my opinion

 

i just started on this site but i have a notchback

 

Could someone here post us a pic of what those do to the interior of the car?

 

I dont think it affects it at all. u'll have a bit less trunk space on the flat part and if u hit it hard on the gas ur frineds may hit there heads on the lil window. hehehe

 

hehe ^_^

 

i wanna buy one of those from u after u repo them redraif, can some on get me pics of the interior of a car with a notchback??

 

congrats my fellow thirdgenner you have one of the rarest cars around.
post pic of the inside please

oh yeah u are the first i've ran across on the board in over 2 years

 

Thats a beautiful car Man!

 

Thanks guys. i just got home so its to dark out to take any pics. ill go out tommorow and snap a few though. any one wanna host me for it?

 

So what are the prices for a notchback?

 

so is the one redraif just won a rare factory notchback???

 

I would if truck frieght was not so much...I will do what he (Bruce) thinks is best. I plan to go there before the end of march to pick up a rearend, so I can get good pics for every one. I'm sure there is a car Bruce and I can set it on for pics.

 

I do not think it is a factory one, but it is styled very similar looking at the pic... The main difference is the removable glass. Also I noticed the one I got has the nubbies on it like our glass hatches where it hinges and attaches to the body.

Nice GTA notch above!

See most of the aftermarket one i have seen have the sides made to tall. they still seem to follow the line of the glass. This one is the first i ahve seen that does not. It seens to be made with very similar sides to that of the original. I know in the late 80 early 90s there were a few companies that made notchs. Besides Motion and the Trojan version! I can only assume this is an aftermarket one based on a factory one, with a few changes!

 

congradulations redraif. I can't wait till they get reproduced.:lala: :lala:
It's a good thing I actually decided to post the ebay auction on here. I wasn't gonna at first but then I saw this thread.

 

Thanks again for posting the link! i would have never found it otherwise!

 

The notch is being sent directly to Hawks, so hopefully it won't be long til they're available. We're going up there in a couple weeks so we'll get some good pictures of it (maybe stick it on a parts car so you can see how it will look). I can't say for sure what pricing will be. I'm really curious to see if this is a modified factory notch, or aftermarket...either way, its the first one I have seen for sale that looks good IMHO. I like the idea of a removable rear window, too...should work out great on Redraif's 82 TA, which is going to have a targa roof already. Should be about as close to a convertible as you can get, without the hassles!

 

Great to hear ya won it!
Again keep us posted with details from Hawk's please

Wish I woulda thought of having someone reproduce them myself

Ah well least someone has it on the ball.

 

Question: Will a rollcage still fit? Or will it require a custom cage?

 

WTF is up with that trojan TA? that wing looks like its right off a mustand cobra R, UGLY!

 

Custom cage. Im pretty sure about that. Unless you want to drill holes in the glass and decklid to put a regular one in

 

Yeah, its going to require that the downbars go down at a steep angle, go straight back over the hump, and down into the framerail. Nothing is ever simple with custom stuff!

 

make sure you post when its ready redraif, id love to get ahold of one of those,

 

so whats the word on this notchback? anyone know?

 

Hopefully it will be to Hawks soon and we can figure out if its a modified original (I don't think the original had a removable rear window), or a close copy. Its pretty hard to tell from the pictures. I'm hoping somone at the STARS show this weekend will have an original notchback we can take some detailed pictures of to compare.

 

the factory notchbacks did not have a hinging window. it was a solid mount as far as i can tell.

As for the guy with the real nothcback- i need you to get me some pics if you can. My friend bought a factory hatch that i found for him (they only made 624, happened that a friend of mine had one for sale), and has it intstalled on his gta, BUT - few questions.

We cannot figuer out the strut connections, and 2nd, we need to see if there is a different seal for the hatch.

for the struts, we need some pics, so if you can get us some that would be very good- email me- soares711@yahoo.com

thanx man!

Steve

 

any word on the Notchback?

 

Accually the rear seats in notchbacks are slightly taller than normal TA rear seats so youre friends wont hit there heads on the glass. If you have a factory notchback that is. Ill get some pics taken of the back seats as soon as i can but for now ill just show you guys a pic of my notchback.

 

woops forgot the pic. Here ya go:

 

hey what i need is pics of the seal area and the lift struts and where they are anchored on the car!!

 

The notchback arrived at Hawks yesterday, and Bruce said it looked great. His fiberglass guy will be looking at it soon . We'll be visiting Hawks probably a week form Saturday (the 29th) to check it out, and get a few other things.

 

Bruce was very impressed with it. Said we will have to do some lookng around to be able to repro all the weather strip and hardware, but he sounded confident! He is not sure that the back glass will not leak, but when we go up there we are going to test it and see. Don't work i will take photos galore.

He is going to meet with his glass guy soon and see what its going to take to do the job...I will let you know what happens!

 

ya know, this somewhat reminds me of the notchback kit that wasoffered and then discontinued some time ago by year one i believe.

The removable window, and the factory notch look were all features of it. Anyone know who/ if somone made it for year one?

 

I'm pretty sure it wasn't involved with Year One. I used to work for them (actually worked there twice), when the Next Generation thing started up. They did do the 4th gen kammback (stationwagon) hatch with Hurst, but to my knowldege they never did anything like that for a thirdgen.

 

will hawk's repro feature the removable glass?

 

That's the plan. I think it would be a pretty cool feature to have (like a Del Sol).

 

i got a pic of the rear seats for y'all

 

WoW, Those are factory?! They look kinda wierd! lol, Theres 2 factory notchbacks around here, next time I see one Im gonna look at the seats!

LT1/redraif Any info as to an estimate on pricing, ballpark figure? You can lie to me so I will just start saving up lol

Thanks!!

 

At this point, we can't honestly say. The fiberglass guy is looking at it first, and after we get the estimated cost from him, we'll have to source hardware, the rear window, weatherstrip, etc to make it a complete, no-hassle bolt on deal. I would think we could make it competitive with other notch kits on the market, though.

I have seen those rear seats before, but I know at least once it wasn't in a notchback...maybe in a TTA also? The factory notchbacks I have seen had those rear seats though. Thanks for the pics.
