Welcome Home!

Looks great! would love to know more information such as year, mileage and if you're willing to disclose, the price.

Could you provide a picture of the ragged engine cover insulation? Mine doesn't have any. I have had a hard time finding any car that shows the insulation.

 

that car looks great - but then again, I’m biased.

My fav is xost with precats gone and hyperflow main cats.

 

I had an ansa...its okay but the order should be capristo>tubi>ansa as far as sound quality

To give u an idea, Parnelli tried to get this one but they wouldn’t want any penny less than 110k i believe and the car basically had done 500 miles in 15 years before its major.

There is thread on replacing the insulation. Melvok fabricated a nice custom solution about 5-6 years ago and provided plenty of pics.

 

Capristo exhaust. Warning... throbbing headache when idle...chrome ages better too. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Beautiful example sold to cheap imo

 

That's my car!

here's another video. I have since decatted the precats so its sounds better now.

 

Man that’s beautiful! Congrats.

 

Throttle really shouldn't be stiff--may need to pull the airbox to disconnect and determine if it's linkage or cable. Normal to be able to get rolling in 1st without accelerating. In many cases you can accelerate from a stop in 2nd gear as well. As far as insulation the original turns to foam dust after many years exposure to heat. The last NOS pad I saw was 3-4 years ago and ~$350.00. The judges have told us here they don't take off points if the foam isn't there as many cars did not come from the factory with it. I installed a Tubi on mine with cat delete pipes--the pre-cats are in-tact. Great sound, not obnoxious, loud if you want it to be. You car looks great, congratulations!

Well having seen the record on that car i would have been hesitant since it was barely driven for years. I have seen them from the shop.The $ receipts on tr is one thing but usually its better that it is consistent throughout its life as opposed to a one shot as they dont like sitting too much.
This used to be a consignment at JM Legend which wanted 150k for it and then unloaded it to them.
Parnelli was able to have an offer accepted so when he comes back on the forum he will share. I do know there were not that flexible though .
That being said it is a great purchase and a great addition to your wonderful collection!

I seen ur videos online! Insane sound!
The precat delete is underestimated in my opinion, i never liked the cat delete because of the smell. Very nice set up.

Just to be sure this is the car right?
They seemed to have done an extensive job and hopefully the fact that it sat for many years is all addressed. Let us know. Im always curious how those turnout.

Enjoy!
JM’s inventory is dwindling by the day- i wonder if they are going out of business!

Congrats Chris! Nice looking car. I spent a lot of time looking at pics of it and talking to Eric at Top Gear. I also talked to the guy at JM when he had it on consignment (at a crazy high price).

I just couldn't get past the fact that it had sat for 12 years. I saw all of the service records but don't know enough about these cars to know what else it was going to need. So I decided to take a pass.

You have some other great 80's cars in your garage so it will fit your collection well!

As for me, I'm officially out of the TR market. Couldn't find anybody that I really trusted who was selling one (with the exception of StarDoc...I shoulda bought his car!).

All the other sellers were ridiculous. I've seen everything from vague pricing/history, to cars that had MAJOR title issues, to hearing things like "free gas for a year if you buy this Ferrari". I just needed to step away and go to the sidelines for awhile.

I realize many sellers of other cars are like that as well but for some reason I really came across it hard while looking at TR's.

I live in the Midwest and, for that kind of money, want a car where the roof comes off Thinking of a 458 eventually. Would LOVE a 575 Superamerica……..but out of my price range.

Congrats once again and please post some more pics/videos !!

 

Guess the $80-90k white TR in great shape may not exist after all FWIW though I hear where you're coming from on shiesty dealers over-representing cars. Did you see the one in the classifieds now (albeit a red TR) where he had the price down to $88k but then raised it to $102k saying "the market has changed." You get free gas for a year with that one too. Oh boy.

 

No white ones for $80-90K. Plenty of red ones in that range, though !
