I am not much in the loop with their value, but is this car worth 47.5k? I am not bashing the owner, just wondering if this is going rate these days and it has a Bra?

is this one of the lower production TTAs?

 

[Snorman]

It's a T-top/leather car, hardly the rarest version of the TTA's.
If it was a hardtop/cloth car or a Fiesta (or something) car, it would be worth more, but not $48k.
He's nuts.
If it only has 2200 miles, I'm sure it'll bring at least $18-20k, quite possibly more.

With 2200 miles, its worth about $22-$24k. Have not seen any of them go for much more than that. On the low end, I've seen them go for $16-$20k with that mileage. That guy is an idiot to think it would be worth $30k+.

 

[GNSCOTT]

I think they should be worth more, but your average car person does not know much about them. I think in the future, the TR's and especially the TTA's will be worth big bucks. What other cars of the 80's would a collector consider??? $45k?? maybe in 10 more years...

Does that tin foil on the coolant bottle work?

That guys gotta be smokin some good stuff, pass some over here!!

He's fishing...Trying to make back some of what he lost in the stockmarket..

YIKES I WOULD HAVE TO sell this TTA 3 times over to make back what I lost in the market the past 3 years

 

[Gokou]

He's dreaming. I got beat down on price bad when I was thinking of selling my TTA. I was asking $25K, and it's a near mint condition 3600 mile cloth/hardtop (rarest combo) car, and I was STILL getting beat down on price down to around the $20K point. I got tired of the lowballers, said to hell with it, and started modding it. Best decision I've ever made

One of the 3 convertibles built might fetch that.

If you had any idea the alternatives that much money could buy in Asia you wouldn't be thinking about putting it on a 15 yr or so old car.

Yeah but if you are married, you can't think about such things or it will drive you crazy.

Back to cars....

If I had a choice between a $400K '71 Hemi cuda convert (one of 14) and a '89 TTA Convert (one of 3) for $48K, I'm pretty sure I'd take the TTA.

20 years from now, the TTA converts will be worth serious dollars.

I realize i get lost sometimes---but i didn't realize these things existed!!!!!!!!!!--could you elaborate more?

 

[arista5]

i thought there was only one TTA vert out there

[Grumpy]

suppose to be only one that was just posted above BUT you could have your's converted to a conv (thats where the other's came from)
the Hemi conv just went for $1.2 M (1 of 7 or 10 or somethin like that ) to me converts are worth more than t roof's or a hardtop...lot's of people would disagree with me here...now how about a 66 Shelby GT 350 conv ( 1 of 4 ) for say a cool mil???
45k for a TTA???? ya never know... like I have said in other threads it's HIS car an can do whatever he wants

The February 1990 Muscle Car Review begs to differ.

The article car doesn't have decals like the one shown above.

 

[Grumpy]

UNGN...you can still have it done today if you wanted....TTA or Buick....doesn't make it "original" ...I have an "original" 66 Shelby convert ...Shelby himself did 12 "clones" back in 1978... sold for 80K back then...one clone recently sold for $90k...so they have held thier value somewhat..one of the original 4 sold last month at a fla classic car auction for $275k + commision fee's
make any sence to ya??

 

[buickgs71]

Heck, I traded one of 18 '71 GS455 convert 4spds for a paint job. It's pretty rusty.

Now I'm having second thoughts.
