Interesting car

[nick]

Here is an interesting car. However, I would question the 0-60 time he claims to get.

'79 TR7

Depends on what he means by "clean out and upgraded". He won't get those figures with "a performance exhaust". The price is right as the car looks pretty clean.

price is very right if it's as clean in real life......

What a coincidence!
Mine will do 0-60 in 5.35 seconds, 125MPH, and get 35+ MPG too!
The price does seem realistic though.

The honda S2000 does 0 to 60 in just over 6 seconds, & it is the
quickest normally aspirated 2.0L FHC in the business. He must be
quite a tuner.

I wonder if he wants to tune my 7 for me.

A 0-60 time of 5.35 sec should be possible with a stock TR7,
as long as he's talking km/h and not mph [:p]

Althought the rather strangled US spec cars might struggle here [:D]

....Yeeeeeeah. My old '76 Ford Torino w/a 1970 429-c.i cobra jet engine would do 0-60 in 6sec flat all day long. Sorry but I find it a little difficult to believe that his 7 will do it in 5.35.

Is that pricing site linked into that ebay entry for real?

How do they price a hardtop for a FHC and does overdrive mean the 5th gear option or a non-available electric overdrive?

It's a Craigs List entry not eBay. That pricing page is pretty flakey. Obviously they don't know what they are talking about. A top flight car is worth more than $11,000, just ask Beans.[:)]
