Here is one of the last pictures of my car.


Decided to sell her since I don't have any more motivation to finish the project.

I'll have a few more shots when the car is picked up this weekend.

I am going to slowly mod the Formula for the time being.

 

That car is a TGO legend!

Too bad you're letting it go

 

Your selling it?? Why

 

It's already sold. Just needs to be picked up.
Lost interest in the car, basically. I wanted to finish it, but didn't want to at the same time. kinda confusing, so I offered it to a friend and he came up with the cash and bought it.

 

So true.

I understand about projects though. Divide and be conquered. Good luck with the Formy.

 

that car is sweet, do bad ur selling it tho

 

jeebus that's a perrrty one

 

:-( I loved that car....LOL
Too bad ya had to sell it....

 

It looks like the other 14,985 pics of it that we have seen. Sorry that it has to go.But I know the feeling,time to move to something else.

 

Good luck with the formy.

Honestly, I think its a good thing. You can now focus on one car at a time. (Well, one less car, lol)

 

sorry to see it go, keep us updated on your next projects!

 

Hahahah, now lets see if new owner finishes it. Kind of the joke that you would never finish your TA, and like me never deciding what I want to do with my Bird, hahahah.

Im going to miss seeing it morph into a new style every week.

 

never thought i'd see the day...

 

how much did you sell it for?

man, i loved that car to.

 

It seems that all the "TGO legends" have been leaving lately......

 

gives us the opportunity to build new ones though!

 

nooooooooooooooo!

Does the buyer intend to come on here?

 

I almost gave up on my project a year ago. It sucks having to take your time and wait to build the car you want! :shrug: There where so many cars I saw during my build that I would loved to have owned, and I came close a few times to selling the GTA in it's unfinished state. But I decided to stick with it and when I made my first all motor 12 second pass.....it was well worth it!!

 

Well, I sold it for an L98 motor, $2300 in parts and $2450 in cash.
The parts are Holley Stealth Ram, Trick Flow heads, and an MSD Billet Distributor, all brand new, and his L98 from his 91Z.
The buyer was going to put these parts on his 91Z.

He is planning on taking the LT1/T56 and suspension parts off of the T/A and putting them on the 91Z and then putting a 305TPI Auto into the Trans Am.

I'll be putting the Holley SR and MSD dist on the Formula.
I am selling the Trick Flows to my friend to put on his mint 86Z and getting his Dart 2 heads which will go on the L98 i am getting. The L98 will eventually go into the Formula.

I believe the buyer is a member on here, but I don't know his username.

 

wow, that is alot of part swapping.


sounds like you'll have and even sicker ride this time around. just dont give up on it! lol

and about the TGO ledgends leaving, i agree, its giving us a chance to make new ones...hopfully i'll be one of them....nah prolly not...lol

 

to bad man, i was looking forword to seeing it with a nice paint job. i would have bought that car off u if u were local and finished it off lol.

 

Sorry to here it Zeph. You had the only other bird with the 91-92 camaro side GFX that I knew about! Well keep us up to date on your Formula! Hows Julian's 82 with the LT1 doing? I figured he would have kept you motivated!

 

I'll get another one eventually, the 85-90 Trans Am is my favorite body style, especially when you put the 91-92 Camaro sideskirts.

Julians 82 is doign good, it's a 6 speed with heads and cam now putting down 378rwhp through restrictive edelbrock headers.

He got married and moved to Maryland, I haven't talked to him in awhile.

here are pics of the new parts I got,

that stinks that your sellin it .

 

Dang, married...and moved to Maryland! Wow! Last I heard he had broke up with his girl. Shows how out of touch I have been!

 

Now I have one less diversion to distract people from noticing me not having a hood on my car... ***

(Though.. I try to not brodcast that fact.... lol)

 

oh...your one of...them...

 

While I understand the angle of the joke...
no.. I'm not

The hood thing extends beyond the time of my membership here (along with the length of my project).

Myself, I have walked in Zeph's shoes more times than I care to think about and still do on occasion... it's not an easy conclusion to come to. For myself, it's not the car I care about selling... it's the part of me that's invested in the car that I can't let go of...

 

sad to see it go zeph....i've followed your car for years. good luck with the formy and keep us posted. its funny cause you motivated me to do heads, cam, intake, exhaust, and a bunch of other stuff to my vette...should be done next weekend.

 

here is a pic of the new tenant of the garage,

 

Is the hsr on your stock 305?


That kinda sucks you spent all that time on it and never got it finished/running. Is the formy your daily?

 

ya, that is on a stock 305. I think I may be one of the few that have put it on a 305.

one day I'll build another T/A just like my 86 and finish it.

Formula is my daily driver.

 

did u feel an increase on the stock 305 after yuo put it on? if so where were most of the gains at. what rpm

 

That's mainly the reason I asked, because I put it on my stock 305 as well. Hadn't seen anyone else do that yet. Didn't see the use of it just sitting around waiting for my other engine to get built.

 

your car was my inspiration to paint my 87 formula flat black, thats sad, it was an awsome car, i would have gladly bought that car.

good luck with your new formula.

Later
Shean

 

The car felt slower,but I didn't adjust the fuel pressure so I don't know where it's at and the timing isn't set. I've only driven it around the block twice to make sure the car would run under load, and I still have to do some other non engine related things to the car.

Did you notice any gains with your setup?

 

Why are you getting rid of the TFS heads for those dart 2's?

 

I don't really need the heads.
Car is going to be a daily driver / auto-x car so no need for too much power. 300rwhp is fine. that is about what my friend is putting down with his dart 2's and hsr in a 355 L98.

 

Did you buy your formy from a guy in bremerton?

 

But if you already have them, more power is always better!!!

 

Doh... can't believe you're actually doing it man.... oh well... on the other hand, I'm interested to see what happens with the Formy.

 

wow... Zepher's T/A will no longer appear with yet another set of rims to show off... and the a-pillars will never be painted black! It's sad, but at the same time I think your formula has tons of potential. Let's see you concentrate your parts, money, and effort on it now!

 

The Formula is getting it's 4th set of wheels now. I don't know what it is but I seem to like swapping wheels.
Have a set of silver 17x9.5 ZR1's with Nitto 555R2's coming tomorrow.
They are off of this Z28,

 

Excellent! Now you'll have the money to refund me on the starter.

Gimme your address and I'll ship it back to you.

 

pm sent. why didn't you PM me instead of posting here?

 

I always kinda wondered which one of our cars would get painted first. Does this mean I win by default?

 

No, cuz the Formula still has a white hood.

notice the cool new wheels?
