Well as of 7:00 sunday night I will have to put the GTA down for good. Well what happened was at around 7 as i was enjoying spending time at my parents house then all of a sudden we heard a loud screech and bang. We all were like damn what was that. As we rushed outside I couldnt beleive my eyes this idiot in an early 80 toyota plowed into the driverside frontend. As I ran cussing and stuff towards him my brother was telling the guy to get out. Well he threw it in reverse and jetted. I was like hell no so I jumped over the hood opend the door and flew after him the whole time Im losing the inerliner of the fender and glass from the light. It was like a scene from smokey and the bandit tearing down back alleys and through dirt alleys and back streets. I was in hot pursute for 30 minutes. Thats when I finally got enought time to get his plate# and a discription. I let him go because He was running red lights and I didnt want him to kill someone because of my car. So now Im looking for a new GTA with a clean chassis running or not to do a body ******.

 

Oh my gawd Rusty, We're soo sorry to hear that. Hopefully the cops will catch that a$$ and you can somewhat benefit (doubtful), and he goes to jail for hit-n-run.

 

That sucks in a big way. At least you got the dirtbags license plate number so you can get a bit of revenge (although not as enjoyable as curb stomping the guy). I got smoked last summer and chased the guy but couldn't get close enough to get a plate number.

 

thanks guys . Heres the kicker I have liability on the car since I race it and well I have to eat it now. Well you know what insureance i have on my 4th gen now

 

here's a good deal for you 909'ers...although it isn't a GTA:

I wish I could but I dont have that much for a new chassis thanks though

 

Hey, does it have to be a GTA? I still have my 1984 Z28 you can use, straight chassis and it's a hardtop.

 

That really sux! }¦¬( I hope you get the person. Good luck.

 

that sucks man, I hope they catch that idiot, so the GTA is in no shape for repair?

 

well Rusty I hope you can find another fast car

 

Ah Man I would have went bezerk.. Id probably chase him down and plow him into a brick wall.. Hopefully all goes well on your chassis swap.

 

im kind of fond of the gta's now and plus i want to make the swap as easy as possible

 

Unless of course he could find another Teal RS to keep his current handle :lala:

 

wow....quoting yourself

 

And I saw one for sale today in Fontana.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Tealman. I don't know you, or any of you, but I read your post last night. If I hadn't, I never wouldn've noticed this car today. It was at 15400 Slover, inside a locked-gated-fenced yard that had a mobile office trailer sitting on the lot(but it looked private, not like a used car lot). The number on the for sale sign is 350-2095(whatever Fontana's area code is, 909, I think) in case you or anyone else is interested. It looked pretty good from the street and considering its age.

Anyway, I know it's not what you're looking for, but since it got my attention, I figured that might mean something, lol, so I stopped and got that info. Get well soon.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out on my way home

 

FYI - Rusty has aquired another 89 GTA to transplant all of his goodies from his GTA into, for pictures click here.

 

Well guys thanks to an awsome thirdgen member 89transam I'm the proud owner of a new 89 gta. He took my 96 banshee in trade 4 the car and I will have it on the road in 2 weeks. While i have the two cars under the knife I will be adding my new stall converter and a set of lca's and my intake system so its on the up and up and I will be at the track on the 29 in my new car. So I guess Vincent and I are doing an invasion of the body snatchers
