Car has had 3 owners since 1993 and 2 of the owners were the same person he sold it and bought it back.

Comes with a folder about an inch thick with just about every receipt for oil changes, parts, etc etc etc.. and some aditional stock parts.

As you can see from the list above the car has had alot of $ put into it. The drive train is solid. I plan to drive the car this summer and then determine if I can fix the rust or if I am going to swap everything over to a roller. Hopefully it can be saved.

I am giving 3000.00 for the car. He has a reciept for 1500.00 from D&D where he had the t5 rebuilt. If you add up all the parts its worth 3000.00 easy. He was asking 5k and I drove 2.5 hrs to see the car and when I jacked it up and looked at the tq boxes etc I told him I didnt want it. He came down to 3k I offered 2500 he said no, so I drove back home. After him emailing me and explaining he was unaware of the actual condition of the car ( which is true) He sent me pics of all the areas that I showed him and said if anyone asks he will show them the pics before they come out. We talked again on the phone and I decided to buy it for 3k.... The plan was to imediatly swap it all to a roller but if I can fix it I will.

Heres a few pics.

[87GT Drop Top]

Cool!! Finally back in the game.

 

[5.0Droptop]

Yeah!!!

We had some finacial priorites that needed worked out. I had to sell my 93 to help with that. Now all of that is behind us, so I am able to get back to my favorite hobby. I looked at verts and hatches but I already have had a reallly nice vert and a very fast gt hatch so I decided I wanted a coupe. When I found this car I was all excited to buy it then I found the rust and decided not to do it. But after thinking it all over, I realized the car has everything I wanted.

 

[87GT Drop Top]

You could just find a cheap 4 cyl notch and swap everything like you said.

 

[5.0Droptop]

That crossed my mind

 

[dave181760]

if the price is rite do it and wait till you you a clean notch 4 banger and go to town you'll have more fun that way

 

[S&B]

looks like a great deal to me

go get em

 

[5.0Droptop]

Ill be picking it up asap.

 

[fivespeedsteed]

even if you have to swap it all to a roller, thats allot of goodes for 3 grand. the trans is half of it, then all the other stuff easily makes 1.5k. and its got a nice grey interior and nice wheels/tail lights, headlights

 

[5.0Droptop]

Thats exactly why I decided to buy it.

 

[S&B]

first thing you can do is sell that wing for 150

3k is a good deal.

but who puts 1500 bucks into a t5?

 

[FoxGT87]

3k is a good deal.

but who puts 1500 bucks into a t5?

i would have if i didn't live 2 hours away from astro performance. i got a solid built T5 with the Zspec ratios, for 1050, add freight +300, and then take into consideration i got 75 bucks credit and he didnt make me pay to have the input shaft resurfaced (100 bucks) 1500 for a solid built T5 is a good deal.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

I like it...it's no red vert but it will do

 

[NIKwoaC]

You need to fix the images so they can be viewed bigger, but that looks like its a decent looking car! Welcome back to the game, man!

 

[Shaolin Crane]

keep the wing...

 

[cenok is family]

pretty similar combo to mine minus my camshaft/cobra intake. should be a fun street car....mine is!
