This is the WS-6 T/A that I sold a year ago...
Sometimes, I wish I still had it!

Very nice car.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not that big on red. I passed a car once for the sole reason it was red.

I don't know how you did it but i could have never sold a car like that. Compared to that GTP it has about 85HP on it. GTP-240HP and the T/A- 325. That car is a monster. I was going to buy that before the GP, but it was a bit pricey.

Yea, the car was great, but we didn't really need to have it at the time. My wife bought it for me when were were dating, b/c she new I really wanted it, and I gave her my GTP to drive. ( Now that's Love )

I didn't really like the red either when I got it, red draws too much attention, but It did grow on me.

The T/A was a LOT faster than the GTP. The T/A had an extensive mod list. The eng. alone was LS1 that was bored .60 over, balanced and blueprinted bottom end, ported and polished heads, high flow plastic intake, SLP headers, SLP racing pcm. bigger cam, and a true dual 3" exhaust system, that was not street legal ( no cats). The transmission was built for racing, as you didn't have to use the clutch to up shift if you shifted in the range of 6000-6500 r.p.m. The car was lowered 2" all the way arround, and the door handles were filled in, w/ remote door popers, and hood poper.

I had the car put on a dyno when I first got it, and it cranked out right at 415 h.p. @ the rear wheels.
I did run it at Heartland Park 1/4 mile one time, and got 12.2 @ 119 m.p.h. w/ street tires. I was still loosing traction on the take off even after I did a burnout to warm up the tires. The tires were a hard rubber compound though, for max tire life.

Now, I still wish I had it, but I know that I will have another one some day.... A Black one.

At the time I was in the middle of a motor swap. Wife was out of work (no extra money)and to top it off I had to move from southern CA to Maine.

I didn't want it to sit in my driveway rusting away so I sold it to an enthusiest. It went to a good home. To this day it has won several awards.

ps
I did all the body work on that car under those awnings smile

Would you look at that I had another blue car!!
I thought my color choice was meer coinsedense. I guess it's a little deeper then that lol

Man dude, the WS-6 T/A is my ultimate dream car. I want one soooooo bad. I am crying over here to see that you sold it. I am definately going to get one of those as well as a 70 Dodge Charger. Not sure what model of the Charger I want yet, but I will have one.

That car is amazing, my friend actually just bought a black one... it's friggin sweet!! I love how smooth and sleek the body is on yours, with no side moldings, filled door handles, etc... great looking car. GTPs are great, but after seeing that, I am surprised you got rid of it. Sad day, my friend, but it's yours and not mine!

Yea yea, I know, I shouldn't have gotten rid of it. The funny thing is, I can afford to have it just sit there now, and that is what kills me.

Another thing that kills me, is I was out on Wanamaker on Sat. night, and there were a bunch of punk high school kids that were revving up their ricers, and their plane jane camaro's and firebird's. Man I wish I still had the T/A that night, I would have smoked all of them, BAD banghead banghead banghead

I've always wanted something like any of these. before buying my GP i was going to buy a GTP or a Camaro or a T/A, i had the money, but is very expensive to have a V8 en Mexico City cause the traffic. and the GTP available those days was not as clean as the GT.
Someday...

So far the only car that I REALLY want, like my dream car, is a 94 Impala SS with a 454. Not sure if I want the factory package or just to do the swap on my own. It's gotta be darker than jet black, like the kinda black that sucks the light and life out of everything around it, and have like 20% black tint, NO chrome, just the brushed aluminum rims. OH, I want that damn car!!!

Yet it was you who said you live where it gets to be 115+.... You're crazy. I love black as well, but hate heat. I suffer on 80 degree F. days, I don't know what I would do w/ 115+ w/ my black GTP and truck devilsad

Hmmmmmmmmm, hard choice. My first car at 16(1978) was a 67 fastback Charger with 383 auto in an aqua blue color with black leather interior. Thank God for the A/C. Rear fold down bucket seats and the panel between the trunk and interior folded down. Second car was a 71 Charger SE with 383 Magnum and 4 speed with Hurst pistol grip shifter. Definitely the greates looking shifter ever made. Brother had a 68 Charger with 440 auto. I'd take any Charger from that era except the 69, sorry Dukes fans, the show ruined it for that year model. Plus, the 68 had more stuff that was a 68 model year only that makes 68 worth more to me.

I also love the 94-96 impala SS, I thought about it a long time ago but where I live people runs those cars to the ground and don't take care of a classic, but I love the purple with the chrome stock rims.

I know a guy who's got one for sale... I think he's asking $12,500, I'm not sure on the car's mileage, it's black, fully loaded, t-tops, brand new Falken Ziex tires, WS.6 perf/handling package, MTI power induction lid, Free Ram Air Mod, 20%tint, monsoon sound system, and probably a few other things... its a nice freakin car. Talk to him, and I'm sure he'd send some pics.
