Start watching the classifieds every day, including these boards, and particularly local message boards and newspaper. I got my 84 TA with a blown motor for $500. The body is almost rust-free and came with crosslace rims that I could probably get $400 for alone. I had to travel to Delaware to pick up mine though, and transporting can get expensive

I found a rust free shell on ebay for $250.00.but like jeremynyr i had to traval a long way(albany ny) to get it but it was worth every penny.It's an 88 and was a recoverd theft recovered in 92 so it was only on the road 4 years.
Look around thay are out there.

Dude I never paid attention to your sig, I didn't know you were in Port YORN... I'm just up here in the sticks of Sandusky... I travel 46 a short ways out of town, and theres an 84 TA out there that's on a trailer... pretty complete but i haven't stopped to see the condition...
Looks like somebody hacked the roof for an a/m glass sunroof, and the hatch is missing, with all these days of rain and snow...
Same guy has had a 91/90/92 camaro out back for a few years, says he had plans to make somethin' out of it...
PM me, I ccan get you my ph. no.
(funny thing is; the guy used to work for me)

Picked up my spare body parts car about 30 miles away from where I live. No motor or tranny, and the rear end is probaby comming with a trade (can't wait to upgrade from 2:73s). Price: $50.00. Good deal I thought, plus hatch is perfect and so is one window. Keep lookin, you should be able to find anything you need from a donor.
