  1. Oliver, just my 2 cents worth. This part is almost always broken or missing from most of the TC'c. I picked up one of the used ones from the national meet from Larry. I say spend the 35 to 45 for the original. It looks so much better than the little lebaron one. Keep the lebaron one as a spare. I have seen some people spend $500 worth of time looking for these little jewels. Like I said, just my 2 cents. And the Florida meet is shaping up to be a really good one.Would love to have you come with Dad. Last year the Florida Mt Dora was our 1st event and now we have been to the National and are planning to attend the Carlyle event in Penn. I know you like the 16 valves and I promise more 16 valves will be in the florida event than you will see looking all over the country. Good Luck, Tom <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

  2. jean b, tell your friend that he needs to join the club and bring you. Seriously the club has been a great gift for my wife and I. We have only been to one meet here in florida but we have met lots of folks and they are so helpful when it comes to the ownership and care of these wonderful automobiles. Some of the Best money we ever spent in our 30 years of mariage that we will be celebrating at the show. I do believe and hope that the big show is in Carmel California this year instead of Reno, though. That is where we have reservations and airplane reservations to. haha A lot of us like to keep up with the 16 valve cars and that one definately sounds nice. Tell us about it and a bit of the history if you will. Mileage? Ya'll Come, Tom & Rose <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

  3. Ghost, I really like your answer, being that you had only heard the buyers side. Now as Paul Harvey says, For the Rest of the Story! The car in question was listed with a rebuilt title, as is,where is, and had been a daily driver in south florida for the past 10 years. The car was owned by the seller for aprox. 6 weeks when it was sold. Florida does not have an inspection that I am aware of. The car was sold for $2,650 on ebay and that was aprox $300 over the reserve. The seller went ahead and had the interior seats touched up and repaired along with having the console bolster reupolstered after it sold, just to be nice and helpful, since it sold for a bit over the reserve. Also done were the following, fixed dashboard over speedometer,had a seperation in the convertable top sealed & had a complete transmission service done at the Chrysler dealership. The only reason it was sold on ebay was to try and keep it from being turned into a parts car. It had well over 4k worth of good parts on the car not to mention a great running 80,000 mile v-6 motor. Now the car did not come with a hardtop and the seller drove 8 hours, rented a truck, & paid for gas to go get a matching hardtop that the buyer had found. Seller also paid for the top for the buyer. The charge for this little trip was $50. The seller also found someone to drive from Atlanta to East Florida to pick up the car and then drive the car to Virginia for the buyer, all for $400.If any of you know of any people that would do that trip for $400, I may need some cars picked up real soon. The car cranks every time the key is turned & stops well. The seller did not know of the problems mentioned by the buyer. The car did not overheat and drove nicely down the road. But now, any of you guys out there that have a perfect & guaranteed TC in great running shape for $2,650 please let me know. Sounds like it would be a steal for a nearly $40,000 sports car. I know, I know that was when it was new but you get my point. The seller would definately buy the car back for the $2650 it sold for, but he would not pay for the shipping and the hardtop that was purchased as the buyer so unreasonably expected. Would love to hear opinions. Donzi

  4. Tony, We just picked up this 16 valve car from texas. Would like to track down all 4 of them. Do you know where either of the other 2 yellow double black 16 valve cars are? Anyone out there? The car was much much better than we anticipated. Drives out fantastic. Can you tell me what is different on the california 16 valves compared to the other 49 state cars? Bought it for an investment but are so happy with it we are planning on keeping it. Thanks
