Default Wrecked 1970 TA on ebay

I'm new to this site and appreciate the chance to part of it. With that said, I'm very interested in the wrecked 70 TA on ebay but have some questions. The car appears to be and is listed as original numbers matching car. Is there a vendor who specializes in 70-72 NOS parts for these cars. If not, where would someone look for replacement parts on this particular car. Thanks.

After following this thread on the resto of a far nicer CA Trans-Am, only someone really handy with tools & money should take it on. Very little NOS, very expensive.

I bet all those parts are going to go into a "rust free" body, along with the tags.

Welcome to the site!

It would take well over 100K to do that car properly. And then you'd have a $50K car with 100K into it. Sadly it's nothing but a parts car now, and only the shaker parts and drivetrain are the only salvageable parts. If it was a RA4 it would be worth restoring.

That car is worth about $7500 and that is just for the drivetrain/shaker setup. I really doubt it has the original carb still. Without that carb, deduct another $1500.

NOS 1/4 panel...$5000 for a pair
1970-72 Front fenders...$4000 for a used pair (NOS don't exist because the GM replacements used a different internal bulkhead design)
NOS tail panel (no-one makes a repro)...$2000
1970-only hood...$1500
NOS fender flares...$1500 set (no=one makes a decent repro)
NOS dash pad...$2000 (or Just Dashes redo, same price)
4-speed Radiator...$1000
Engine rebuild...$7,000 if the block is salvageable (imagine the rust in there!)
Bodywork by the hour....$50,000++++

and it goes on forever....

Heck, even the shifter knob goes for $300: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-SHIFT...A1%7C240%3A1318


I love how the seller says: "subframe is probably OK"


Yeah, probably OK to use as a base for my retirement home rocking chair.

The only way to do that car, would be to use reproduction and rustfree used sheetmetal and do all the work yourself. Even then i think you would still be upside down. But keep it for a few years, then maybe sell. It is just one of those cars that should really be saved, but not for profit by any means of that term. Roger

I think we need to start a new thread consisting of the most memorable ebay sellers' quotes!

I believe this auction has a few choice contenders.
