i have those pics too. Pretty cool. There was some info on it and of course I can't find where I had it. The post it notes were to explain what was special about the car and what made it different from a GTA. I wonder what car number that was and where it's at today!
 Would have been really cool to see that today with the quality of digital cameras we have now.

Just like the GNX all TTA's got wet. I recall someone going by PAS or the factory and seeing a bunch of TTA's out in the rain. That is the rainy time for Cali. as well!

The only note I can make out is on the wheel; it says "braking 60-0 139ft". I recall reading about this car online a while ago. They drained all the fluids and laid it on a couple of mattresses. I wonder where that one is today.

If we knew what dealership that was, I'm sure PHS could research which car it is.

Gee,
Just think! The Turbo emblem on the fender probably left an indentation on the mattress! That means Dave, Jim, and Jan, are going to be checking ebay for it, and raise the price skyhigh! Not me though, I'm just going to take an emblem, and put it on the mattress, with oh, say about 3650 pounds on top of it, then sell it. George

If that's a Ttop car (odds are), then you know the stresses caused many alignment problems (doors, rear hatch, ttops, etc.).

It may have tightened up the car and made it rattle free also.

I have seen those pics before. It does make you wonder with all that weight on the side of the car, how much body damage occured?

TTA on side
I think that one is the one I own. I always thought it was lopsided.
