Which one looks like the better option here the TPG in NJ or TX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England cars rust out really bad. That TGP in NJ looks clean, but who knows what's under the cladding. The cladding hides so much on these cars. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cladding hides so much on these cars. That was my line of thinking as well, but the TX TGP looks like its been sitting awhile and getting wet inside going off the mold on the rear seats. A HUD windshield doesnt seem to be easy to find either. The Jersey TGP looks either garage kept or recent paint job. Either car it'll cost to bid, $100 just to be able to bid on the Jersey car or $200 to bid on the TX car to upgrade to required membership. I have a quote for $800 to pick up and deliver the Jersey TGP already, you know just to get an idea. I prefer Hemmings.com, they put a hold of $500 for each bidder and you get it back if you dont win the auction. Either of these sites want an annual subscription to be eligible to bid and their preferred transport company charges twice as much in their quotes. 94 olds vert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the windshield replaced in my CSC, and then later added HUD. The HUD display seemed fine without the HUD windshield. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) For $134 someone will go and check out the one in NJ from a 3rd party, maybe worth it. Seems like no one hasnt bid on it either and its been up since the 1st. Ok sticking my foot in the water, inspection ordered for the NJ TGP. Lets see what shes hiding. Any takers on inspecting the one in TX for a similar amount? Edited June 6, 2023 by rich_e777 94 olds vert, pwmin and Bake82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Results from the inspection are in, it doesn't crank with a jumpbox, no noise from starter at all. Also leaks oil but didnt indicate from where. Rust where expected underneath, at minimum will need new control arms and lateral links as well as have both F and R subframes media blasted. Probably new hub bearings, calipers, rotors and both brake and fuel lines to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 The powertrain alone is worth a decent price even if needing a rebuild, the LG5 engine is unique.....steel crank, rods are shot peened & stress relieved, forged pistons, exhaust valves are sodium filled. The turbo should be a Garrett T25. If I were on the *other* side of the border I'd seriously consider it. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) I have to get a broker involved because its in Jersey, Damn these people are ANAL about documents! Hemmings.com I used cash app to send the money after they put a $500 hold which went to the Towncar after i won. You cannot just bid the minimum here, its going to cost you some $$$ between membership fees and the hold an auto broker puts on your account because New Jersey laws. I`ll try and snag it, the transport company might want more for picking up a non starting car. No going back now Edited June 7, 2023 by rich_e777 jiggity76 and pwmin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_e777 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 I hope so, iirc I read it goes up for sale on the 21st but I don't know what the reserve is. Probably the $1800 estimated price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Someone bought the TGP in Jersey, I just got the notification. Maybe they`ll come around here, it only had 1 owner and looked like a southern car underneath. IDK if this link will work for anyone but this is the report I bought on it showing all the pics. https://www.aeinsp.com/pub/aei/report/index.php?asset=28167&vkey=sXcAMWvmVd92gDSqIoZw2fPE6H7WFtOSl3tyJdAbuXOrwKHpu8qp43rwNBwb 94 olds vert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailing arm mount looks great, a bit of rust on the arm itself, but there used to be boxed ones available at the auto stores to replace those. Someone got themselves a cool project car. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiac6ksteawd Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Its still pending on the TGP sale in NJ... Which is odd. The seller has 2 days to do something. Auction did not meet reserve, and the seller has the right to counter offer, decline, or accept. https://autohelperbot.com/en/car/1G5WP14V1KF331579_46426162?need_auth=1 (sorry about the russian) Hopefully that link works for you...

rich_e777 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 IDK what sort of sketchy link that is but 1G5WP14V1KF331579 from Knu Joisey is my car. She`s sitting in my driveway right now just waiting on the title. I never dealt with that website during the process at all. https://www.autobidmaster.com/en/search/lot/53837963/COPART_1989_PONTIAC_2000_LE_CERTIFICATE_OF_TITLE_TRENTON_NJ/ If they come to take this car they`d have better luck trying to disarm some Spartans or baptize a cat, which ever is worse. jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiac6ksteawd Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 How many "extra fees" did you get hit with AutoBidMaster? I recently bought my Saturn thru them, and everytime I turned around, they were adding a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 IIRC Autobidmasters hit me with a broker and documentation fee, Copart had an auction, document and lot fee. I would only ever do it again for a top favorite car if one came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhayes63 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Have you had any luck getting parts from a pull it yourself yard without going there? I've called a couple of the places but they would only say you have to pull the parts yourself. I would love to get some parts, especially the air box and hoses out of this for the GP Turbo but I can't get to Monrovia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
