Interesting 84 TA Targa spotted on E-Bay...

Kinda weird lookin' tho

Still a lil over 6 days, and no bids. The custom-made hatch is interesting, altho I think I'd prefer a regular notchback over that one.

I'll post a few of the pics here (quite a few more on the listing):



Based on the pics, it looks like the guy took a regular T-Top T/A, cut out the mid-pillar, and made a targa in their place.

The rear tires stick out wayyy too much too, since their only 295's.

IMO, this could be one hot-a** 'Bird with some time and TLC

The top of the A-Pillars look similar to the pics I've seen of T-Top cars. The little 'lock' part, y'know? I'll have to check out more pics tomorrow.

I've even seen a few like this in the junk yard!
I didn't get the top, since I didn't think there would be a demand for it.
I still wonder today about it.
