91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

So here is a picture of the 91 GTA I will most likely be picking up Friday.
The clutch is slipping and will eventually need the rad core support replaced. But I think for the combo 305 5spd ttops leather interior and power options, and the g92 and ws6 package. I think it will be a good deal if I can leg it back home to Milwaukee

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

About a hour and 45 minutes... 98 miles to be exact. I plan on getting the interior into great shape, and most likely a tune obviously a new clutch new shocks all around and lowering it.

If budget provides I will begin to look into cam's and head's.

Nice...why does it have a power bulge hood? I thought 91/92 Gta's came with flat vented hoods....

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

SWEET !

The Formula hood could have been swapped on but the spoiler in black has my "Caution Flag" out. why would the Formula/Trans Am spoiler be black and the Formula hood be body colored on a supposed Trans Am GTA ?. Unless the spoiler was painted black, and the dual vented trans am hood was replaced with this Formula Turbo Bulge hood and was either already Red or Painted red. also I noticed the body side moldings are black

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

The car was in a accident so the hood had to be replaced. He does have the GTA hood on it, and he had the spoiler painted factory color But I will be sure to check RPO's when i get there.

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

Nope, the spoiler was lol. I'd assume it got damaged in the crash and or was falling apart.

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

Well the bird is home and nesting now... Rad core was bent, no biggie.. It came with two fenders a front clip steering wheel Power bulge hood and numerous interior pieces.. got her for 1200$ Pics will come tomorrow. Body is kinda beat up, so is the interior but I still love her and for a solid running car with NO RUST! YES THATS RIGHT, NO RUST! for 1200$ I think it's a great deal. Anyone need a working electric hatch motor?

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

Not ATM, sometimes my hatch closes fine normally and other times I need to push it down gently for the electronic mechanism to seal it. But since I put her in retirement I won't be needing one for a while

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

I sold Jason this car. Yes the car had a black spoiler and wrong hood. I put the formula hood on it because I liked it. I also sold the car with a Trans Am hood. The spoiler, body side moldings, and hood vents were all painted when I bought the car. They were all painted with a spray can. I gave Jason a good deal on the car along with alot of spare parts and I hope he enjoys it.

Re: 91 GTA I will be picking up Friday

I can vouch for Tracy being a great honest fella. I am enjoying the car immensely, today's project was the headlight motor. Put some new bearing in it and gotta put 'er back in. Hood need's a few more coats and she will be looking good.
