A buddy of mine is looking at this truck. Can you think of any reasons other than the obvious to not go for a 1976 Toyota Hilux? I think its freaking awesome looking, but its also kinda old and he's not the mechanical type.

Something seems off about that grille and headlight, especially on the drivers' side: it looks from the picture like it hasn't been installed properly. That truck seems to have had some expensive paint/body work done to it recently which worries me considering the low price. I'd take it to a body shop for inspection to see if someone has just put a nice coat of paint on it in order to cover up recent accident/rust damage that was insufficiently repaired. The mirrors look like they've been replaced with ones from a different truck or some kind of Pep Boys generics.

That tool box looks awful; I'd look and make sure there's no rust under it from water getting trapped between the bottom of the box and the top of the bed.

Tranny flush implies an automatic, and it implies that someone was paying enough attention to how the car was shifting in order to replace the transmission fluid. I'd also check the rear differential and replace its fluids if necessary.

Does a dying (or just anything-less-than perfect?) battery cause permanent damage, or is it something that is fixed when the battery is replaced?

It can cause damage, although it's usually only in certain cases. Like powerstroke diesels, if you run it on a failing battery your FICM will burn out.

88 GTA Notchback, and the guy is asking as far as I can tell a reasonable price. Pitty it's been moded, but nothing serious. "Minor adjustments" for the interior scares me. :ohdear:

quote:

This Trans Am featureas the GTA package.
It has a rebuilt 305, 5 speed engine with only 2500 k, and 119,000 k on the original body. It features the Notchback and T-top, along with a full digital display with all working buttons and radio.

It is 1 of 718 produced Notchbacks, and it is unkown how many still exsist.
1988 was the only year that the notchback was produced.

It has aftermarket: Cam, Headers and Exhaust.
Tires are good, and have the original honeycomb rims included with the GTA package.

This car DOES NEED:
Out of province inspection
Some body work (paint and small dents, NO RUST!)
Minor interior adjustments

RARE CAR!! WILL GO FAST!

That's pretty cool and good to know someone still makes them. Still, it's not quite as cool as owning a real one.

Doing some reading at that Notchback link really shows they were a real pain in the rear end for Pontiac as an option.

That must save a metric poo poo-ton of weight with all that glass gone.

But on the bad side it does remove the extra Db that rear window reflects foward if you have subs in the trunk ditch.

I think the last thing I would want in an F body is less weight in the back. I only know about the notchbacks because I have seen one in the wild, a regular customer at a gas station I used to work at. The was also a guy that used to come in that had a (thirdgen) Firebird convertible that claimed they only made 2 of them.

If you buy that, you'll still need to find (last I checked anyway) the brackets that mount it, and the special rear seatbacks from a notchback car.

I wonder where the gtanotchback.com site got their production figures. http://www.gtasourcepage.com/88RPOFigures.html says that there were 624 cars with that hatch in '88.
