'89 GTUs maybe parting out.. what prices do you suggest?
Hey there
I'm thinking about possibly parting out my '89 GTUs. It's got a straight body and the engine runs but doesnt start up all the time (might just be due to electrical/battery problems). Once running it sounds great.
What do you guys think are good prices to list diff. parts for an '89 GTUs? i.e. engine, back end, front end, etc. Thx

lol ok maybe i wont part it out. I think the battery isnt getting enough juice. The reason I think this is because the terminals aren't looking too good and the guy who had it before me tried to ground the battery and I think he did it wrong. When I jump it, it will usually start but as of right now I have to push start it (popping the clutch). Also the only real connection between the battery and the terminals is a little peice of copper he shoved in there. I just hope its not flooding and needs a rebuild. I just did a block weld and there isnt white smoke anymore and its got a lot of power so i dont think its the apex or side seals.

knowledge junkie
Seriously, you could trade that for a running RX-7 GTU, GXL, SE, or Convertible. Send an e-mail to the SOCAL guys and I'm sure you'd find someone who'd do that.

Sounds like you bought JunpoweR's car. does it have hsks mufflers, dent on hood, half cut air box, strut tower bar, k&n sticker on the snorkel? Thats what i remember it had last, and it was white, and had roughly that many miles. He had a black GTUs once too, he sold it with a bent frame without telling the person he sold it to.

Parting a GTUs is like a catholic asking the Virgin Mary to give him a blow job.
