Which Turbo GP stays and which goes.


Recommended Posts

Posted

So as some of you know I've recently pulled my red 90' TGP from its 9 years long slumber. I've been enjoying it quite a bit. Which has made me rethink selling all my TGP stuff... for the time being.

However... I don't think I need 2 of these damn things. So help me decide which stays and which goes. 

Red 1990 TGP:

Pros:

  • Red/Tan leather/Sunroof/CD player
  • 151,000 Miles  
  • Has the engine from my old wrecked TGP in it so approximately 40-50,000 fewer miles than the chassis, Runs great.
  • recently rebuilt transmission
  • Presently Running and driving
  • Vacuum Brake converted
  • Have brand new Turbo/Pontiac emblems in a box for it
  • Body is pretty clean rust wise, no immediate concerns
  • Rear subframe converted to 2g lat links
  • 96' Front and rear brakes

Cons:

  • Needs a paint job
  • Been in a few accidents, repaired... not the best. Could really use an entire Driver side B pillar replacement (have most of those parts) but is passable enough as is.
  • Only original body panels are the pass door and fender. literally every other part has been replaced for one reason or another

 

Black 1990 TGP:

Pros:

  • Black/Gray cloth/Tape deck
  • I think 110,000 or someplace about there miles
  • body is straight as an arrow 
  • Used to be owned by @LukeZ34so it has forum history :lol:
  • 94' rear brakes
  • Have a supposedly good engine on a stand for it.

Cons: 

  • Also could use a paint job, not as bad but not good either
  • Been off the road since about 2011, presently stored indoors
  • Needs an engine - It ran but had very minimal oil pressure.
  • Will need the fuel system totally flushed before it gets running.
  • Still has PowerMaster brakes - worked last time it ran but it needs to go regardless.

 

Obviously the black car is the better base on paper. But my irrational part loves how they look in red. Whats you guys take?

My opinion would be to keep the car that is running and driving and start to do the body and paint work on it. I'm not sure how bad the exterior on the red TGP is. Body work can get expensive. I guess I would need some pictures of the red TGP.
