Vehicle Detail
For sale is a very rare 1991 model Trans Am GTA with original 74K Miles. This car has been in storage for the past 13 years. It was part of the inventory of a car dealership that closed a few years ago. The title is clear. Low miles, all original and it used to run perfectly, with ice cold air, but unfortunately it was parked for a few years without starting it, and the darn rats may have chewed through some wiring. Needs tires, won't start due to some sort of problem getting fuel to the engine, and has a foot long dent/scratch from a boat trailer backing into the right front fender. The car ran great but wasn't started for over 2 years. When I tried to start it, the gas in the tank was bad, so I had to drop the tank and do a bunch of work, including new relays, pumps, and a whole lot of other tune-up and electrical work in excess of $1000. But the car won't start and stay running. The best estimate is that there is some sort of wiring problem (there is a red wire that has been chewed through and it may have something to do with the fuel system). If you spray starter fluid in the intake manifold, the engine will run momentarily. So I really think the problem is with getting fuel somewhere down the line. As I said, the miles are really low and the car ran great before being parked for a couple of years. If you are mechanically inclined, my loss will be your gain, as I am selling it at a fraction of original cost. Since the title is not in my name and is still marked in the possession of the car dealership that is now out of business, this car can only be sold to someone who can register it in any state other than California. If you are a CA resident, please note I cannot sell this to you. Please contact me with any questions prior to bidding. $250 deposit after auction closes but no later than 24 hours, via PAYPAL. Balance due by cash or money order only. Car is currently in Julian, CA and must be towed away from there on a FLAT BED truck. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs. Thanks for looking.
