Wanted Project Tta Near Nj

Hi guys,
I have owned a 88 GTA for the past 13 years and I now have the itch to purchase a TTA. I would like to get a car that needs some work or total restoration. I am in the NJ area so the closer to NJ the better. If you have anything that sounds like I may be interested in, please let me know.
Thanks,
Brian
 
Thank you. I have seen this post and it is what in looking for but he seems firm on his price and for me its a little high for a non running car in my opinion. I may message him though just in case. In the mean time I am still open to any other leads.
Thanks again,
Brian
 
I am in Huntsville, Alabama area, so not very close to NJ, but I have TTA #754 that I want to sell. I also have TTA #162 that I am saving, and I have a ’56 Chevy BelAir that I am restoring, so I need to simplify my garage area. TTA #754 is not perfect, but it was a California car so has essentially no rust. It runs OK but not as well as it should - it starts to miss at high RPMs (above 4000), and it has a weird problem in that it starts and runs fine, but if I shut it off and wait a minute, it will not re-start. It turns over fine but will not start until I wait an hour or two for it to cool down, then it will start again. I checked fuel pressure and that is good, so must be something else. There must be some component that is preventing ignition at start when the engine is warm, but doesn't affect it once it is running. I switched the ignition module with my other TTA and that didn’t fix it, so it’s something else. I am too busy to keep trying to diagnose it, and there is no shop in my area that seems to know enough about these cars for me to spend any money on them. It needs some other minor fixes like the console cover hinge spring is broken, part of the front black rubber lower air deflector is missing, and one front wheel is actually a rear wheel. It has about 67k miles, and has some nice mods including Hotchkis rear suspension, Turbonetics T-70 turbo, Evolution wastegate ATR headers, 60 lb injectors, Walbro 340 fuel pump, and trans was rebuilt at 63k miles. I repainted it a few years ago, and have some pics of the car I'll post here soon. I would take $10K for the car. If you are interested send me a PM.
 
Thank you for everyone's offerings but I am no longer in the market. I should be picking up my first TTA #713 in a couple weeks.
 
Thanks guys! It is not set in stone yet as it is 7 hours away and I wasn't able to find the time to pick it up in a timely manner. I should be picking it up the first weekend in December if all works out. I will post pictures as soon as I get it home.
 
MAGNA = Mid Atlantic Grand National Association, a club for turbo-buicks and [1989] turbo trans ams. The club started (I think) in Delaware, but basically encompasses DE, NJ, eastern PA and eastern MD. there are also folks from other areas, but they don't make it to many of the meets o_O
There are quite a few members with TTAs throughout the areas.
The Club has monthly gatherings and some other special events. There's one this Saturday 11/12 near Trenton.
I think that the website shows the facebook page and the specific forum segment:
Mid-Atlantic Grand National Association - MAGNA - A car club for Buick Grand National & GNX, T-Type & Turbo T, and Pontiac Turbo Trans AM owners in the states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
