Re: Dark Russet "UPS BROWN" 87 GTA on Ebay !!!

Im not a brown car fan but i must say on the GTA it looks fitting and very nice. Thats only the second 5 speed TPI brown GTA ive seen. The other one had the Squared off side mirrors and had been listed on ebay a few years ago. In fact there is probably a post on TGO somewhere about that car too.

Looks nice other than the fact that it's missing the a/c compressor and some of the lines.

Ya man, hobby cars require a manual transmission. As a bonus, the 5 speed GTA's came with a 3.45 axle.

Re: Dark Russet "UPS BROWN" 87 GTA on Ebay !!!

Looks pretty clean for that kind of mileage. You can see where the passenger door carpet was steam cleaned recently.

One thing I wonder about is why is the oil pressure so low when the car's coolant temp is still at the bottom setting (idling after a cold start). My oil pressure won't go below half way until the coolant gauge is around halfway.

Re: Dark Russet "UPS BROWN" 87 GTA on Ebay !!!

eh our gauges are notoriously inaccurate. Id assume its a gauge problem before engine issue.

It's not just a 305 5-speed - it's a 305 5-speed hard top! Clearly optioned with taste!

The car is awesome, but it looks more like just a used car versus an enthusiast-owned used car. The Illinois location and the underside make me think it was driven often in the winter salt and snow.
