Chad,
Sorry to see your selling ole #88. Very, very nice car! Only a small handful of GLHS's left in this condition, guys. You did an amazing job with your pride and joy! Can't be very many TM with Isapro boost gauges in them. I thought I was the only one (haha). What happened to your killer SSR wheels? Fresh bump for a black beauty.
GLWS my friend,
Todd

Hey Todd!

Thanks for the kind words. So you've got an Isapro gauge too? That's interesting. I looked and looked and looked to find something that closely matched the stock gauges. I put 2 of the green socks over the bulb too and it matches the stock lighting perfectly.

I still have the SSR wheels and they can go with the car if the buyer wants them. Just add about $600 to the best offer. If not I will sell them after the car sells.




Will probabaly throw her up on ebay in a week or 2. Just wanted get one last post in on here. I don't post a lot but I use this site constantly. I usually don't have to post to find what I need. So much knowledge about these cars on here. I thought I messed up my clutch install and then after searching on here solved that with a $15 cable. Couldn't get my new oil pressure sender to work then found out I just had to pinch the connector etc. etc.


I need to make room though as I've decided to try another Eighties turbo 4 cyl car I've always wanted. I'm going to paint the wheels soon. RWD + turbo is a blast .

Beautiful car. Having restored my 86 GLHS to similar condition over the last several years and knowing what I spent to do so, I think your price is spot on. Good luck with sale!

So who wants to but my convertible?

I like that price. Someone who has wanted one should jump on it.

Cheaper than restoring one to anywhere near the condition of this one.

Very true. Having completely restored my 86 GLHS, I know that I have more than $8750 in mine.

[going4speed]

I have three in mine and about to start rebuilding the engine at about 2k and then paint at 3.5k

Good luck with the 944.
I'm an avid Turbo Mopar FAN & driver but,
during the day, I'm a VW/Audi/Porsche tech.
The 944 is a vehicle much like our TMs in that, there's A TON of "shop secret" upgrades to squeeze HP out of it.
Of course there is one BIG difference, THE MONEY(lol)
But, if you've got the means, you can quite easily make the 944 one of(if not THE) baddest cars on the road.

Side note: If you ever take the cylinder head off, you'll be FLOORED by the size of the pistons in this block!
It still nearly "stuns" me every time!
Best wishes my friend.
