$17,500.00. I bought it in January of 2004 with about 24,500 miles. Current mileage is under 30,000. Car is located just oustide of Jackson, Mississippi.

Dark metallic blue, blue interior and chrome package. It has bucket seats, console, posi, p/w, p/d, rear defroster, cruise and more. I have a complete owner history on the car. I believe the paint is original from conversations with prior owners and examination by a friend who was a GM rep. I have some of the original paperwork including sales receipt. Probably one of the last T's made. I believe it sold in June of 87.

I scored 93/100 at the 2006 GS Nationals car show. It also ran a 12.4 with about 19 or 20 pounds of boost and a street chip. I think the car has more in it, but rain kept me from making any more passes. That is the only time I have had the car on the track and, to my knowledge, the only time the car has ever been on a drag strip. When I purchased the car, it still had the original Good Year Eagle tires on it.

I have spoken to all but one of the prior owners who is now deceased. About 75% of the car's total mileage was put on in the first 3 or 4 years. One fellow kept it in his basement on astroturf for about 10 years and only put about 500 miles on it during that time. He did take it to the GS Nationals twice during the mid 1990's as a show car.

Modifications include:

Limit Engineering TA 49 turbo with factory housing
42.5 injectors
Dutweiller big neck on factory intercooler with repro intercooler tag
ATR 3" Houston style stainless steel downpipe with internal wastegate
ATR 2.5" stainless steel dual exhaust with pit bull mufflers
ATR oversize rear sway bar
Red Armstrong Volt Booster
Red Armstrong XP fuel pump
Hot wire kit
K&N air filter
Turbotweak chip for 93 octane fuel
Scanmaster 2.1
Knock gauge
VDO boost gauge
Shift kit
Comp Cams 212/212 camshaft with new lifters
New rear main seal - NO oil leaks
255/60 Mickey Thompson drag radials (about 250 miles on them)
N.O.S. front headlight bezels
Kirban rear seat braces
Kirban front under body braces
Kodiak West turbo cover
N.O.S. radiator and washer bottles
New dark blue front floor mats with turbo emblem embroidered in it
All chrome and stainless are excellent.
All bumper fillers are in very good condition.
New, professionally installed, headliner and sunvisors. Correct color and style of material
Nice hood ornament.
Hood bulge emblems are excellent. One is original and one is N.O.S.
No wear on original carpet.
Brand new AC Delco battery

The power antenna is not working (stuck in the up position). The a/c does have a leak. There are a few small chips here and there in the paint. Aftermarket CD player does not work, but radio does. I have an original Buick radio/tape player with the EQ (from one of Dennis Kirban's personal cars) that can be negotiated in the sale.

When I purchased the car, I had a Car Fax run which was clean. I have not had any accidents with the car. Geoff Burroughs at Jackson Cylinder Head Service, a turbo Buick specialist, has done all the work on the car and is very familiar with it. I can provide his information as a reference on the car. There are other TB members who I can provide as a reference on the car as well. Car has no rattles and drives tight.

Additional information and pictures are available.

Thanks for looking,
Sam

I bought one just like this one in 87. I sold the car to a friend that still has it but wont sell it back to me.
 
Any more pics- interested in any trades? I have a 96 mustang w/ motor/trans swap also have a 03 F250 crew cab

Can you call me at 803-221-2268? My car was stolen in September, man that hurt! I'd like to get some more info from you.
 
Cool TR. I have a 67 GTO 4 speed also, though not a HO, and not built by Milt :) (is yours actually a Bobcat?). Are you on the PY boards too?
Good luck with the sale.
 
Thanks. Yes, I'm on the PY board - same name as here. Milt built the engine about two years ago. My father bought the car new and was stationed in Louisville, KY right after he bought it. He had read about Royal Pontiac in the magazines and almost took it there for the Bobcat kit, but, unfortunately, did not. It's a modern version of the Bobcat. Slightly lower compression (9.8:1), but has the recurved distributor, re-jetted carb, some mild headwork and Milt's custom version of the "744" Ram Air I cam.

I'm planning to bring the GTO to the GTOAA-POCI Co-Vention in July. Maybe see you there. PM me a picture and more info on your car.
 
You scored 93/100 in the 2006 GS Nationals. That car looks pretty clean. What did you get "dinged" for? Just Curious...
 
I have the score sheet saved as a pdf, but can't get it to load as a picture on this thread. I can email a copy of it to anyone who would like to see. The deductions were as follows:

One point for "Body Finish" - there are a few minor chips in the paint.

One point for "Glass & Weather Stripping" - there is a small tear in the weatherstrip around the driver door. It does not leak, just appearance.

One point for "Upholstery" - there is a small spot on the carpet near the passenger door. I have not tried to clean it, but a steamer may get it out.

One point for "Engine Compartment" - The car has almost 30,000 miles so its not perfect.

One point for "Engine" - Same as above.

One point for "Radiator, Hoses & Belts" - No comment was given by the judges during the judging so, I assume, same response as above

One point for "Wires, Battery & Cables" - One of the prior owners installed a Kenwood amp in the trunk. The positive battery cable is slightly different in appearance as it has a fuse in the wire. A new battery cable would correct this.

Zero points were deducted for "Body Fit", "Body Condition", "Roof", "Trim Condition", "Bumper & Trim", "Lights", "Tires, Wheels, Center Caps, Lug Nuts & Hubcaps", "Suspension, Transmission, Oil Pan, Exhaust, etc.", "Instrument Panel", Interior Trim Hardware", and "Trunk".

Sounds like nit-picking to me :biggrin: Was this a regular car show or some sort of concours judging?
 
This was the GS Nationals show they have in Bowling Green, KY each May. Yes, there was a team of judges. I think there was two to four who evaluated my car.

Because I had more than five changes, they put me in the modified class. If you are familiar with the "Silver Bullet", an unbelievable car that has been featured in several magazines, it was part of my competition. It won the class trophy.
