So what types of TLC does a car like this need? I mean, if a turbo goes out or a wastegate needs to be adjusted, what do you do? Is the motor a stock LT5 or are the heads/cams/intake different? How much boost does this baby churn out. I took a look on Wikipedia and it states they made 450hp and 615TQ ! Is this accurate?

Sounds like a very fun new toy!!!

This is an 87 they were 345hp and about 475lbft if I recall......it needs paint, clear peel is bad, and needs interior....it also has a 4+3 and OD is not engaging, could be a simple fix or might need to be rebuilt. motor is great and no damage to body!

Looks like a stock 87 with NACA ducts on the front

I will repair the tranny and do the interior, will need to wait for paint.

Bottom line 1 of 184 produced, its going to be woth some decent cash...this was a GM option.

Agree and because you do the work, I think it probably makes sense.

You will have 20-25k in it when done no? Which is probably current market value of a nice one now.

Nice to bring it back though.

Does the "little woman" know? Need a place to sleep? Let me know. (We have a barn with a loft, and the raccoons won't mind as long as you bring a sammich or peanut butter!)
