Hard Top Turbo Trans Am - Very Rare, Very Well Done


Never seen one of these before. One of only
39 non t-top TTA production cars (out of 1550 produced). I wonder if all those people who ordered them with the removable roof panels wish they had a hardtop now
(not because of value).

its probably well worth it even if it doesn't have the stock turbo (which means its got even more ***** than originally intended)

He may have the original turbo, in which case it doesnt matter. The turbos arent numbered, so if you are concerned about originality you can always replace it with the stock part.

Wait till you see what that car sells for.

Actually, I like T-tops Better. Its more fun in the summer time.

There is a TTA Mailing list and some of those guys have been looking for a Hardtop car for awhile. $16,000 is not out of line, its even more of a deal considering the car is basically brand new with 6000 miles on it.

As far as the Turbo and Air Cleaner go, you can change that back in 2 hours and stock turbos are dirt cheap.
