I take it the seats need to be recovered or are those just covers to protect them? Are the Champion irons or alum? How are the rubber door seals? Do the windows roll up properly and seal? Can you post some more pics of the underside as well as some close ups of the paint. Thanx.
Seat are an easy 8.5 out of 10...covers are for keeping them nice only...I'm kinda anal with that on all my vehicles! No tears, rips or broken springs...seat cushions are still nice and firm. There is some very minor fading of the blue dye on the upper areas exposed to sunlight, but again, nothing that's unsightly or embarassing.
The heads are irons with a little more porting then "out of the box" Champion irons :biggrin: A local shop here in KC did them for me and they have heads out there running in the single digits and 180+ mph.
The rubber door seals are in very good condition. They are all OE and are still very pliable and seal well....I frequently condition them. The windows roll up tight and are leak free even running through a touchless carwash with a side spray. I don't know if the previous owner put the high speed door glass motors in or not, but they roll up like a new car would and seal good. You can roll them up going down the track and they will seal...ask me how I know that
The lower door seals are the only seal on the car I'd think about replacing and have not done so because they are still in good condition. It has new GM dew sweeps done last year...the originals were cracking. I do have a new full set of door seals still in the box as replacements....I got them for a good price and put them up for another day.
I can try and take some under car pics but don't have a rack right now to put it up on...I'll see what I can do for ya and post them.
As for the paint, I can take 100 close up pics and what your going to see is OE paint that you won't believe is OE. The only real flaws in the paint are some minor rock chips on the front clip and here and there...some of which were touched up by the previous owner and some real small ones that were not...nothing you would expect from a car with 84k showing on the clock. You can ask anyone who has seen this car in person that the paint is unreal for its age and miles and it's never been wet sanded or polished. I'm waiting for the weather to break to clay bar the car and have my body guy foam pad it with GM Perfect It....this will take it to another level all together.
I'm super critical with my cars and see things (flaws) that most people don't see unless I point them out....and sometimes they still don't see them. When I tell you that this car is what it is, that's no BS. But don't take my word for it, look at what the others posted above or come see it for yourself...feel free to send someone else by to rip it apart if you like...nothing to hide here.
Like I said in the onset of this ad, the previous owner (who I knew since 1993) was crazy about the care and maintenance of this car...it was only 3-4 years old when he got it and the original owner who he knew was also crazy about his car collection. It sat in a climate controlled storage for almost 7 years while he recovered from a bad wreck and never fully recovered enough to enjoy the car again...that's when I got it.
I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up anyone's arse by telling them it's perfect, but what I will say is for the age and miles you would be hard pressed to find another in its condition... I truely mean that having owned 2 different low mile TR's and a 12k mile TTA.
The weather dudes are forecasting rain & snow the next couple of days, I'll try and get the pics you want ASAP and get them posted.
Cheers!!
