Sunday History ... How much was a 1991 R7U car?

Just out of curiosity, what was done with the airbags while on the racetrack? On/Off Switch installed to prevent them from popping ? Was the system just completely removed ?

PurelyPMD

iTrader: (3)

I believe the chip deleted them, but the other guys can chime in for sure.

PurelyPMD

iTrader: (3)

I wonder how much that was in US dollars?

The 1LE cars seem to have been some of the least expensive cars built in their day.

CN $21,316.00 = US $24,501.15 in 1991

The cars only had an airbag in the steering wheel that the teams would remove, duct tape the opening and pull the fuse for that circuit.

PurelyPMD

iTrader: (3)

Seems odd - when a domestically delivered one would be so much less.

okfoz

My Mistake, pushed the wrong key.

CN 21,316.00 = US $18,601.13 in 1991
http://www.canadianforex.ca/forex-to...-average-rates

I for some reason forgot that the US $ is almost always worth about 10% more than the CN $... I did the math with the information on that page, and just divided instead of multiplied.

PurelyPMD

iTrader: (3)

Okay, that works.

Interesting to see the difference in the options package on the R7U - that's a nicely loaded car!

Mark_ZZ3

You went the wrong way ... CDN is higher than US. So $18,544 or so.

And cars always seem to cost more in Canada than US ... for no apparent reason. Import fees I suppose.

Mark.

Mark_ZZ3

I especially like the "Block Heater" ... cause every race car needs to be ready to race in the winter! :-)

They packaged the cars up so they could be resold vs. a stripped down race car. And funny ... we'd all pay more for a zero optioned raced car than one with options.

Mark.

Mark Transam

Block heaters? Well you know with the cold winters and all. Only in Canada eh! BTW I was hoping to see some pics of your '87 TA. I'm assuming it was a western series car.

Mark_ZZ3

Your car was the LAST one made in the 1987 Trans AM batch!

I sold my 1987 a few years back to a fellow out EAST who drove it back there! It was always an Eastern car and back it went to go racing! So somewhere out there it is on a track. It was cool to see it return.

My 1988 car is also an eastern car that ended up out west. Strange for two of them to end up so far away.

Guys wanted to post some pics

These are 3 original Players decals (nose in french and english) and door decal.

Years ago, about 10, I had them reproduced to as close to original as possible. The noticeable difference being that the originals were screen printed and the replicas are printer printed.

If anyone needs an original repro set let me knwo and I will have the printed for you.

I spent about $1000 having them reproduced with the help of Mark_ZZ3 to keep them as close to original as possible.

Currently the colour is off a bit but on the next batch ill get em closer!

Totally didnt think about posting these earlier but Ive seen so many people repro them and they are almost always so far off the originals it bothers me. Mainly the nose decal

Enjoy some players ****! Lol

***TO CLARIFY, THE PIC QUALITY IS JUNK BUT THE BOTTOM 2 AND THE MIDDLE RIGHT ONE ARE THE ORIGINALS, TOP 2 AND MIDDLE LEFT IS REPRO***

Munyguy

I'm getting the 1986-1987 recreated from my originals as well. If anyone needs these please let me know and I can get a set made.

IROCNParts

thats awesome!!

Is that in US or Canadian dollars?

No cage? Did they have to be removed from all of the cars?

IROCNParts

First time on the road in a very long time. I had nothing else to drive so I had to insure it for a day lol

That's super nice!!

I LOVE THAT CAR!

okfoz

That is super Cool! I would drive that, matter of fact it is so cool I might have a hard time not driving it... It would definitely get some attention

87 player bird

For those of you that are interested, i have contact info of the fellowmthat origonally made the decals for the eastern series cars. Cost me 800$ about 6 years ago but that included some extras as well as series decals. He did all eastern series cars and had all files from them last time i spoke to him. Easiest way to redecal the cars and they will be correct.

IROCNParts that is a fine car! The color scheme and decal placement is great!

I keep staring at it... cant keep my eyes off of it. Normally I am not a Orange car guy, but that just looks killer...

Of the 4 TA 1LE's produced in 1990, 2 were imported to Canada, 1 of those was a t-top car, as was one of the domestic deliveries.

87 player bird

Where r u greg? And how much?

iTrader: (2)

So does anyone know any history on this black '89 1LE Iroc? Somebody school me...I don't see A4U or R7U but is it a Players car?

GregZac

Car is white... I'm in Alberta, so of that helps for history, please advise

B4C5.7

iTrader: (2)

Yep Sorry about that, 19C is black interior not exterior. Most Players cars were white I believe.

okfoz

Appears to be a 1LE, not a Players car tho.

I'll check today. Approx where? Near the coolant gauge sensor?
