My new project 1980 Turbo T/A
Hi all... new to this forum. I recently bought a 80 Turbo Trans AM WS6 and was looking for your thoughts on direction. The car is original Silver with a red cloth interior. It's in very original condition, but the motor is shot and IMO not worth reviving just to state it's numbers matching.
Here's my thoughts... 1) Only needs one spot of body work on the Driver's side quarter. I'm going to pay to have that fixed and repainted. 2) Pull the engine and trans and put them on a stand so it retains its numbers matching drive train. Install a crate 350 with a rebuilt transmission. The car should run fine and the crate engines can be had in 350HP long blocks for $3200. 3) Either leave it like it is and get it running, or put some 17 inch honeycombs on it and paint it either green or 80 Maroon. Thoughts?
