My friend said he could get it for 10gs less than that asking price. The item that has shot this TA's price through the roof is it's SD (super Duty) option. Last week, my friend Joe, bought a super clean 76 TA, 455 BB, 4 speed, as a daily driver. It has a 73 SD engine, so it's not a numbers car. The previous owner was asking 21k, and Joe got it for 14,300.oo This will drive and handle as well as a SD at the fraction of the price. So for what he wants in a fun, kick around car, this fits the bill. Plus this is a stick, which he prefers, his original SD was auto. -Staten Island Frank- In a message dated 10/21/2009 9:52:44 A.M.

Holy cow, I hadn’t seen the mileage, I know dads was a 78 but he sold his with under 15,000 miles on it in 2002. I think he bought it for $6,000 and sold it 4 years later for around $18,000 but he had done a little mechanical rebuilding, otherwise the car was near perfect when he bought it, and they are beautiful that color setup. I am sure the wheels were even the same as on that car, I don’t really care for the big plastic looking bumper, I am almost sure his didn’t have that, but I like the 74s headlights quite a bit. Amazing what prices can do.

Hey Brian, I had a 75 TA in the early years. It was a Motion Performance built car. If I only knew what it was going to be worth back then I would have kept it. Anyway I sent this accidentally to the list. My friend who now lives in Florida owned this car. He bought it from a guy in Florida for 18k, and took it to NY. Six months later he sold it to a guy for what he thought was an incredible 31K in 03. He moved to Florida , and was looking in a classic car showroom when he found his old car, for sale .............. 59k. OUCH It's a small world. -Staten Island Frank- In a message dated 10/20/2009 10:08:17 P.M.
