What parts does the car need?
The car is perfect. Just been sitting for 20 years. I’m guessing replacing all gaskets, fluids, etc??
Just wondering if the injectors may be gunked up along with the gas tank? And all rubber hoses etc??

Ok, these are things that can easily be done.
On the top of the list would be to change out all the fluids, install a new fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
Change the spark plugs but keep the original spark plug wires if they test good, they are hard to find. Inspect all the water hoses, the upper and lower hoses are not available but GN hoses can be made to fit.
Sounds like you have a nice time capsule

This is actually my friends car. It belonged to her and her husband who unfortunately passed away about 8 years ago. The car has 59 miles on it and has never even been registered! She’s wanting to sell it and I’m just trying to get an estimate on what it would cost someone to get it back in shape so we can figure out a reasonable price to ask for it.

With just 59 miles on it it’s definitely worth taking care of these things in order to get top dollar! Or you could post the information with pictures on this website and find a buyer that would like to do that stuff himself.

Dare I say that $61,500 is a record for a TTA?

Sounds like it just needs a good service along with checking for leaks (oil, vacuum etc).
anything, and I mean anything, you remove that is original to the car make sure you keep that and include with the sale
