i'm selling my 89 tgp, the car was repainted (red) 2 years ago and the body is in excellent shape, for some reason a little spot on the hood chipped off and is now flaking off, i will repaint the hood if who ever buys it wants it repainted. odometer reads 140k
As for the engine, i did the head gaskets about 100 miles ago and when i did that i had the heads decked .010 and i completely gasket matched and polished the intakes of the heads and intake manifold. the exhaust side of the heads were opened up so were the exhaust manifolds.
the upper plentium was powered coated flat black along with the valve covers and the 3.1 on top was polished along with alot more of the engine bay.
the cross over pipe on the car is in excellent shape looks brand new and does not leak.
the car has a 160 thermastat runs cool and the fans work
the A/C is all there but does not work, it either needs a condensor or a charge in it.
the front struts were replaced 250 miles ago along with ball joints and tyrod ends. the car rides great.
the drivers seat is worn pretty bad but most of the seat ajustments still work , the passenger seat works great. the car could use some new carpet, it has SSEI floor mats
all the electonics on the car work, the speedo is off 5 mph above 50 mph the HUD is right on
the car has 2 brand new front tires, and i added the factory spoiler to the trunk. the car now has a fixed antenna
the turbo blew up and was rebuilt 25 miles ago from parts from turbochargers.com also has k&n filter
What the car Needs:
the gas tank is rusted out and leaks when over 5\8 full or if car is facing up a hill.
i'm pretty sure 3rd gear is starting to go out in the tranny (automatic)
the car needs 2 Rear Tires, fronts are brand new , breaks are good
the car needs mufflers,
head liner is starting to sag on the sides
i am not sure if the car has remote entry or not, if it does i do not have the pads for it
and the
biggie is after the car runs for about 20 mins and warms up it starts to smoke blue smoke. i have a suspission that something may be worng with the turbo and how it was rebuilt. it does not smoke when the engine is cold.
THE CAR IS LOCATED IN KENT OHIO 44240, i am sick of working on this car
$1000 firm and the car did pass ohio E-check last year
it drives the way it is , just smokes i am putting a new alternator on it today

UPDATED:
since my last wright up i have:
Replaced the gas tank, and put a new TGP fuel pump, along with new gas lines.
I have fixed the smoking problem by replacing the oil return line, car does not smoke
and as for the transmission, i filled it up with some fluid and i have been driving the car alot around town (logged like 500 miles) and it seems to be just fine, does not feel to be slipping.
I still need to sell the car and i'm asking now 1200
this is the last time i list it on the TGP forums, i'm giving the guys that know it best the first chance at buying it
ne more pictures of the car??
Whats the car run? You have pics of it at the track, just wondering what its times were.
I'm interested and might want to come look at it....do you have more pics?
Shawn
If you want to sell a car on the web you will have to post more pictures. Two low res distant photos will not sell a car. Interior, exterior, under hood are pretty well required to boost interest. 8)
sorry for the slow response i been away...
yeah i can take some more pictures of the car and post them hopefully soon.( a day or so)
car ran a 15.84 that was its best, but since then the car has had a lot of work done to it... as in a turbo rebuild, it had the head gaskets done and i sent the heads out and had work done to them along with alot of other stuff
the car feels stronger now than it used to..
here i took some more pictuers of the car,
it was raining outside at the time..

Quote from: kuntzieso you still selling the car??
what you want a foursome now? :lol:
Ya it may take some time for the young ones to undrstand what a driveway FULL of TGP's can lead to :lol:
Been there with 3 at one time and its more of a hassle than anything.
although im still looking for a nice black one :?

Ditto. If two of them are running at a time your in good shape. Luckily, two of the three (well I guess one TGP and one Turbo Lumina) were really reliable and the other one just wasn't/isn't reliable at all. There is no way I could have 4 though.

YES! the car is still for sale and that jemery guy hasn't called me so I still have the car,
i'm going to be leaving to go to Flordia for a couple of months in like 2 weeks, and i would like to sell this car before i leave, or it will just sit and probably get all beat up cause it will be at my parents house. i dont' want the car to get damaged or runined..
