Those cars were definitely cool as ****. I'm with you on that one. I HATE tan interior, but I could deal for something so rare.

i'm indifferent on the tan. but like you said, I can easily deal with it. wife says i'm not allowed to buy one until after we build a house... fair enough I guess.

The Turbo T/A from the 80 was badass indeed. Good luck finding one. They are like GNs and GNXs. If you find one in good shape you will pay through the ***. Most people kept those cars as collectors. If I remember, they were low production number cars

I still have my ls1.

there's usually 1-2 tta's on ebay. minty shape they're usually around 20 grand with very low miles. I don't think that's unreasonable.

I couldn't buy a car thats a collectors piece and keep it buried in the garage. If I buy a car, its to run it ragged.

That is one clean car though.

All I have. I'm in Disney World and the car is in PA or WV. Plans are to plasti dip the wheels black, tint the windows and jet up to a 200 shot. There have been 0 of the faster LSx cars out locally in a while so I'm going to go out this weekend and tell people it's a cammed ls1 on spray, race some people on the motor and then come out the next weekend on the spray.
