1995 TA with 510 BBC and Powerglide

I am looking to sell my 1995 TA that has a 510 Big Block Chevy making around 700 or so horsepower with A LOT of room to grow that number. For specifics on the car check my cardomain page: cardomain.com/ride/634484

If there are questions, which I know there will be please contat me via email or PM here on the site. My e-mail is pontiac510@gmail.com

You can see what the car has here and as far as negatives, the only negatives are the stock rear and some small holes in the floorboards that need patched. I would cut them out and re-weld just to avoid the headache. There is also a spot above the rear wheel that needs some rust removed. Other than that the car is really nice as you can see in the pics. I can take more detailed pics as needed as well.

I am looking for 14k as I have 10K in the motor alone. It has an all forged bottom end, and Dart Heads. I am willing to listen to all offers. I will also accept a trade for a used C5 plus cash from me.

I had a detailed listing put up but I must have taken too long because the board made me re-sign in and I lost all the info. I did not want to re-type all of that info.

Let me know if there are questions, thanks.

No one interested in this car??:confused:

bump please

if it was FI i could have it sold for you right away

Yep, it's carbed. I know a lot of people have strong feelings one way or the other. It runs strong though, just gets fed differently!:D

ttt

I'm surprised no one is interested. You could not build this car for what I am asking. This is a very good deal.

No one wants this car or has a C5 that they want to trade??

No one with any offers?:confused:

I can't believe your selling it Jerry! Heres a free bump for ya anyway.

Why sell it?

It's just too much car for me right now. I don't seem to drive it much, it's got manual steering and it is very loud and attracts all kinds of attention (the wrong kind) I feel that the car is very cool and may be more enjoyable for someone used to this kind of power and manual steering.

More than likely I will use the money to buy a C5 or some other more streetable car.

Keep in mind this car mechanically is brand new basically. The trans and motor are new, as is the whole ignition, fuel system and carb....basically everything that makes the car run. Driveshaft is new too.

ttt

I have some questions... they're mostly out of curiosity. I'd love to buy your car, but I simply can't afford it. :(

Did you go with the manual rack for weight savings, or did the big block necessitate it for space reasons?

How is the rear suspension set up?

Where are you located?

I'm in Medina Ohio which is near between Cleveland and Akron. The manual rack was done for both reasons really. But looking at the car now it probably is needed for space reasons. I'm sure that power steering could be kept with some creativity. It's like anything else with cars, if you have enough money you can do anything. LOL

The rear suspension has BMR LCA relocation brackets with Spohn control arms. I changed this when the car was lowered. It also has a Spohn panhard bar. A pretty basic set up really. Probably not absolutely ideal for dragging, but the car went 13.60's with a CAI and cat back. 60' times were in the 2.0xx range. Obviously this car is a hell of a lot tougher to hook I'm sure but on the street if you baby it out off of idle it does get grip. I bet the car will run high tens just how it sits! I could be wrong though. Sticky tires and a tough rear end and who knows....

A guy who is interested in possibly trading his C5 and has experience with racing thinks it's an 8 second car with a good spray. I said not without a cage and a rear end!!!!!!!

Truthfully it's just a unique vehicle that just surprises people. I have had it out around my house and people love it. All of the hard work is done so it will be a great car for someone to buy.

I wish I could sell it cheaper but I'm trying to at least get my money in the motor out of it but there are not too many takers so far.

I guess this is one of those cars that falls in the category of "very cool car.....but not for my car!!" People like it but few will be willing to live with a drag racing car on the street. Of course if you have a driver it could be a mostly track car......

Come on, someone has to be interested in this car!!!!!!

You are looking to get motor money back? So 10K?

I don't know if that was supposed to be a smart A$$ answer or not but motors aren't cheap you know. The heads alone were over 3k. I guess I should say motor and Trans because that's where the 14k comes from. I have a glide in this car built to handle the stresses of 1500hp or more that Gary's car has. The bottom end is all forged and we know a roller cam is over 500 for cam and lifters. The engine was bored out and you know that's not free....then of course it needs to be clearanced for the 4.5 stroke. Then assembled and the builder wants to try to make a profit so I think the amount is close but you are about 1k shy on the cost. That's not to mention the intake or carb, which is close to another k, balancer and on and on. I think the cost is very fair here. Go price a crate motor with 750 to 800hp. Here I am pricing a WHOLE CAR with EXTENSIVE FABRICATION to make this work.

Now if you can build your own motor you can obviously do it cheaper, but if you could then why would you come into my ad and post crap like that so that the members think my price is too high. The average person can not do this build for under 20k.

To the other members I am sorry if this post came off as combative. Many of you have bought or sold parts with me when I parted out the old LT1 and you know I am a good person to deal with. I just don't understand why people have to come into ads and post crap like this.

I spent almost two full, very difficult and expensive years building this car. Most of you can apprecaite the difficulty of this build. I don't appreciate some one coming in acting like 10k is fair for this car. I would not even sell the motor alone for that and not too many people would blame me.

Chevy zz572 is 13k with 620hp. I think that my price is extremely fair.

Again, sorry if this came off as combative.

Holy Stromboli Batman. Just asking a question. Nevermind for sure!!!!!

Sorry man a guy who spent more than 10k on his motor alone is going to be insulted when you are saying HIS WHOLE CAR IS WORTH 10K.

I never said your car was only worth 10k. No where does my post say anything about your car being worth only 10k. I was just reading the ad and you said....."I'm trying to at least get my money in the motor out of it". I'm looking for a car and naturally as cheap as I can buy. Sorry if you mistook me but 10k was just a starting place and I apologize for maybe reading too much into the ad. I know how it goes to tie up too much into a car. Good luck with the sale.

Alright man no offense taken then. It is hard to judge sometimes online how a persons tone is coming across. By selling for even 13 or 14k I would be losing thousands but I understand that's how it goes with modded cars. Just figured this one would be unique enough to actually get some okay money out of. I have easily 20k not including all the little crap I don't have receipts for anymore but I would not expect a person to pay that much.

I put 14k because I figured that would be enough to get someone's attention and sell the car.

Essentially you are getting the car minus any labor it took to put it together and with a discount on the parts.

I got a little riled up because I thought you were just trolling my ad which would hurt my ability to sell my car. There are people that do that out there.

Take it easy and good luck on your search.

By the way, if your budget exceeds 10k we can talk.:D

No problem. My budget does exceed 10k. Was just fishing. No offense meant. Nice car. I will be in touch. Thanks.

Okay sounds good. If you need more details just ask. I've tried to include as much as I could but I know people may want more detail or detailed pics of a certain area.

Willing to listen to offers. ttt

Car is going on E-Bay in the next couple of days if there is no one else interested.

Bump for nice car!!

Could not get my pics to post on Ebay for some reason so I'm not getting much action on the car on the bay right now.

I can't believe I don't even have anyone interested in the car. Everyone talks about what a cool idea it is and everything and here is the for 6 to 8k cheaper than it can be built and no one is sending any offers for pics or anything?:confused:

Is there something you guys are NOT liking about the car?

Is there something you guys are NOT liking about the car?

If I had the money, I would hesitate because of the 10-bolt rear end. The car doesn't have a roll cage, does it? I figure most people interested in something like this are going to want one.

If you put in a Dana 60 and a cage, maybe you'll get more interest. Or maybe you'll just be out a few more grand. :(

That's all I can think of.

I can understand the rear end but the fact is you are going to have to put a rear end in whether you do the build yourself or buy an almost done car like this one.

Again, with the price I'm asking you could easily buy a rear and cage (depending on cage) and STILL be under 20k.

I mean, if those items were already done on the car I would not be asking 14k for the car.

Looks like I'll be hanging on to the car for a while, which isn't a bad thing anyway.

Yeah, I'm not saying you did anything wrong... just that I think the type of person to buy a mostly-done race car is even more likely to pony up for something that's totally done.

Maybe it's just the economy? A lot of people don't have very much disposable income these days...

Or maybe gas prices? Who wants a big block at $3.50/gallon?

Actually it's more like 5 bucks by the time you use the octane booster, LOL.:cry:

Sure is a fun ten miles for that 5 bucks though!

So is the car on E-bay now and if so, what is the number? Thanks.

Put it up but could not get my pictures to post properly (most likely due to firewall restrictions). Had a bunch of trade offers for the car (mostly for old muscle cars) but nothing cash wise without pics. I directed people to go to my cardomain site, but on E-bay if there is no picture people are not likely to even click on the auction at all.

I will be putting it on again this week with pictures.

ttt for nice car

bump. Car is not back on E-bay yet.

TTT. Offers?

TTT for nice car

Taking offers on the car. pontiac510@gmail.com

Bump 4 nice car.

I have reduced the cost to 12,500.

Any pics you could post here.

Go to cardomain.com/ride/634484


Let me know if more pictures are needed.

Sweet ride! Why can't I be rich? Wish I could afford it. Oh well, here's a bump for an awesome car.

awesome car , hows it do on the street or highway

If you can handle the manual steering it does just fine on the street. I have not had it on an expressway in 65 or faster traffic but I drove it home on state rt 252 doing 40-55 for about 40 minutes and it was fine. It's got a circle track radiator now.

Is it as comfy as the base LT1? Of course not. You have to be careful with the exhaust and you have to think about how you are going to take your turns. I think it's a small price to pay for 650 to 670 hp at the wheels.

I plan on taking it to the track next Wed or Fri. I am betting it will go into the 11's with a soft launch due to the stock rear and regular street tires. But, we will see.................

This car needs to go. Price reduced to 11,500!

That's a great looking car and it looks like the swap was done well. I'm not in the market for another T/A but I like yours. The price seems plenty fair but you might find that you'll get more money parting it. I had to do that with one of my projects.

Love the car. Good luck.

I guess I would be interested in listening to those ideas but I have had the motor alone on racingjunk.com with no takers so far.

Racingjunk is a lot like this board in my experience; if I want to sell anyting, it has to be a crackhead deal and if I buy anything I get ripped off. I've had much better luck with Ebay both buying and selling. I wish I were in the market for a new toy because your car could be a real hoot!

Sweet car if i had the money i would buy it! i only dream of having that much horse, good luck selling it

Somebody is going to get a very good deal on this car for $11,500. I have seen it, ridden in it and just about crapped in my pants when Jerry hit the gas on the streets of Medina. He has lots of money in this car and someone is gonna get a bargain for sure. TTT for a great car.

Man... at that price, there's gotta be a buyer somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words.

I spent a ton of time and money on the car and what has happened is that basically with my job I have no time to drive the car. I have only had it out about three times this summer. Tried to get to the track last week but was not able to, again because I had to work late. So, my plans are to get something that is more of a bolt on driver that I could drive to work here and there.

I'm probably going to be looking at a C5.

Thanks for looking at my listing. Please pass the word of the car. All you need is a rear end and to make some radiator brackets. I'd be willing to bet passes in the 11's the way the car sits right now.

pmed you about my vette

I currently have a promising possibility on a trade for a C5, but I am still keeping my options open to other offers.

I am sitting here and have to wonder, why is there not any action at that price??!! I thought the initial price of 14 was very fair and now it is all the way down to 11,500 and I can't believe no one is interested.

I think the truth is as much as we all talk about how cool it is to have 7 or 8 hundred horses, I am beginning to realize that this car will likely be sold to someone who is going to race it and not even drive it on the street. That is my opinion. It's a lot for the street.

In any case, I hope this trade works out but if not 11500 is as low as I can go on the car. I would rather look at it in my garage than eat over 10k. I know guys have suffered far worse losses than this on a car, but the only thing I have against the car right now is that I don't have time to drive it and I need more of a daily driver. Maybe in time I will have the time to drive and enjoy the car.

J

You are right Jerry....It will be more of a strip car but it is still very streetable. Just not your average daily driver but Boy Oh Boy, whoever gets it will no doubt have a super badass sleeper car for that Friday night cruise then head to the strip on Saturday. Someone is gonna have one cool ride for sure.

Somebody buy this car! I would if I wasn't such a po'boy:D

I am opening up to other trade offers at this point. Let me know what you have that as a clear title that you may want to trade.

Bump.....

No one wants to trade or buy this car? I was trying to trade for a C5 plus cash but have opened my options up and I'll be open minded about trades.

Man, if you have this thing in a couple of weeks I might be a player. I LOVE this car. I am going to do a little research and see where my new job is coming along. If it goes through like it's supposed to this is going to be my new favorite toy! lol The streets of this town will never be the same.

Okay. Let me know.

ttt

I am taking offers..... I really want this car gone by the time it gets cold outside.

Please send me a couple pics I was just thinking about doing thesame swap to a 98 ta but yours is the right price my email is Philc@mwosc.com thanks Phil i would also like you number so I can call you.

pics sent

ttt

First 11k offer takes it. That's another 500 hundred off! I'm considering moving to an apartment so this car needs to be gone yesterday!!

Also taking trade offers at this time. All trades considered?

Or 11k.

Bump

I have a more streetable car for trade, 95 Z-28 fresh paint (never seen the road or weather) 6point cage, fresh 383w/ all the goodies, Corbeau seats, etc... If this strikes your interest I can give you a detailed mods list. Right now the car is sitting on jack stands basically gutted. I have all the parts that were removed just not much desire to put it back together.

Have you sold the car yet? I might be interested and funny i own a 99 c5.

PM sent

Would you be interested in a trade for my Turbo T???
LINK- http://www.racingjunk.com/post/975136/SUPER-RARE-WHITE-86-T-Type-Turbo-650HP-GN.html

Its a clean car and with some dif wheels and tires and mabe a change to a smaller exaust and tail pipes could really be driven daily and still pop off some mid 11 pass's :)

Let me know I have a 9" for that will fit in your car and this thing will be race ready :)

VERY INTERSTED!!!!!!!!!!! Get at me asap! :bow:

I am taking offers now for any parts that are on the car. Keep in mind there are no LT1 parts on this car. Does have honeycomb lights, chrome wheels, various interior and body parts, whatever.

Is anyone interested in this?

Bump....Still for sale

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I have LOWERED THE CAR TO 10,000!!!!!!!!!

This is lees than half of my investment in the car in only the last two years.

I feel ya man thats all I got out of My T-type I had for sale and that was less than half of my investment as well :(

Sorry I cant purchase your car now (X is wipping me out on Child suport and allamony :mad: ) but here is a free bump for a killer deal :) :eek:

Still have this?

Still have the car. Still trying to sell for 10k. I have a set of Weld wheels ordered for it too. That will solve the tough steering with the manual rack!

Still would be open to trades for a C5 too.
