Stock Vs Built

[timothy]

Hi Guys, Hey if you were to buy a 89 TTA, with 30K miles would you rather it was built with a roller cam, and stud girdle etc... Or stock?

No simple answer. Depends on your plans for the car, if you are worried about resale value and the initial price you are paying for it. Traditionally, stock or stock appearing TTA's have more resale value. But with 30k miles, you are past the point where someone would be looking for an "investment" car. If the price is right, and it doesnt need a lot of work, go for it, drive and enjoy it.

If you look around on here, you'll see everything from 9-second cars to at least one "69-mile" car - and everywhere in between.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks Guys, It's super clean, I gave just over 8K for the car, but it needs a cam. I was looking for a GN when I came across this one, and I think I like it better. I'm leaning towards going all out...

If you go all out i hope you have very deep pockets...

I have ALL OUT 6 on my license plate and my pockets are empty.. See the correlation? Just dropped 3500 on heads alone last weak.

Sounds like a good deal

It's like 1147, I can't look it up right now, I'm out of town.

Jarred has a all-out car, bet he has 20k or better in the eng. alone... gotta pick your poison, fast, faster, fastest...

 

[robert lee]

Oh and i forgot the most important question, how many times do you want to do it...

 

[Nick McCardle]

Build it and enjoy it. Stock is no fun.

Drive it, break it, upgrade it. REPEAT.
