I saw that (along with the replaced head unit) and sent the guy an email for ****s and giggles to ask if the factory parts were included since it was advertised as 100% stock.

I'm also not so sure about the original tires claim either....44k miles and 25 years will put a hurting on any tires, garaged show piece or not.

^^they sure look like gatorbacks. those tires would age and get hard as rocks and last forever. 10,000 good miles and 40,000+ useless miles lol

Nice car. I might take the green one behind it first.

Nice looking GTA!

Do you still have the factory cassette head unit and factory exhaust to go with the car since you advertise it as 100% stock?

If we did do we have a deal?
Interesting response. No discussion of an offer and no confirmation of having the original parts.

3rd Gens are sexy, and spark plugs on TPI cars are no picnic, especially if the egr tubes are still hooked up.
