Sounds like a great car man. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea on a price.

[1bad83ta]

Looks like a sweet car. If it was a manual I would be all over it! Not sure what to ask for price eh? I have that problem with my TA right now. I have sooo much into it i'm not sure I want to sell it for less than like 7000. I have more than that into the engine.

[Phantom409]

Why are you selling it?

If you sell it as a roller in GREAT condition I would say you could get 8-1000 for it because you are ripping out the PCM and everything else.
If you sell the car as a whole 3-4000 I would think.

thinking i would like an older car, we have to do emissions testing here in ontario, just a bunch of bs. hence selling it as a roller is what i'd prefer.....i'd hope that it would than what you posted, i could part the body out and make more than 1000 easily

[Phantom409]

I would hate to see a perfect TA get parted out

This is where the LS6 and TH400 could live that I have in my garage right now and I would be happy!

I think he could easily get more than that.

hmmm. what kinda price are you thinking? ball park

[white96TA]

if you ever did a part-out i might want the hood at the right price. possibly trade hoods plus give you cash and you get money and still have a complete roller to sell.

Doubtful. Non T56 cars just dont commend good money anymore.

I say keep the car or sell the car as is. Parting out a WS6 will haunt you for the rest of your life. Its like parting out a 69Z28 in the early 80's.

a haunting boogie woogie! this is very speculative...many people view this year for T/As as the ugly twin of the newer model 98-02s. besides the fact that many of the original components are missing in this case.

[1bad83ta]

Depending on how much you are thinking I am interested. Might have to do a T56 swap. What kinda parts are missing?

[dtcustoms]

whats the price? complete please. travismidlandford@hotmail.com is my email

I know and understand what "stock" LT1 cars are going for but this car defiantly does not fit into that market. I would believe he would get much more then $3-4000 for the car complete, $4000 is way low for this car and what you get with it. You all know that. If he put this up for $4000 I know many people on this site alone would be scraping up the money to buy it. That being said I dont believe there is a market to be able to say what this car is worth or would sell for, it would sell for whatever someone is willing to pay for it...
