~~F/S 1990 white coupe...T.P.I.S. 396 stroker, and all mods done right !!~~
This is a 1990 coupe that came with all options including both roof panels. The car currently has 72,600 original miles on the body, and was purchased in 2004. The car had two previous owners, both of which had worked at the GM tech. center. This car has never seen rain snow etc. from the start and has been garage kept with a cover for its entire life. All maintenance records, original factory window sticker, build sheet, owner’s manual (including owners package, cassette, vcr), and helms manuals were provided from the previous owners. In addition I have all the bills/receipts since I have owned the car, which will all be given to the new owner. I am selling the car because I have a new toy/project and just don’t want to keep up with two cars, and need the additional garage space.
Drive train:
This is a 396c.i. built by T.P.I.S. It has a studded 4 bolt GM block, which was align honed and bored .030 over. It uses a forged Callies crank, Comp star rods, forged SRP 16cc dished pistons, Custom billet core T.P.I.S. cam 236/242 @50 with 610 lift., Melling select pump and a Canton road race pan. Cylinder heads are AFR 190 comp port (older version, with ti retainers, and Comp Cams 1.6 ratio pro mags.) that flow 286@.600, with a matched mini ram, billet T.P.I.S. 58 throttle body, 36 # injectors, Stewart stage II water pump, March under drive pulleys using all ARP fasteners. It was dynod at T.P.I.S and produced 547hp @ 6300 rpm on a conservative tune NA (no dyno numbers on the hose, and was built for a 175 shot). I have all dyno sheets, flow sheets and blueprint file for the build.
Transmission is a 700r that has been completely modified to support approx. 700+ hp. and has a Pete Kane 2800 converter with ATI, sfi flex plate, and ARP fasteners.
The Dana 44 is an Exotic Muscle “Gladiator” that was actually built by Tom’s differentials, and comes with a 4:10 gear. The drive shaft and half shafts were all balanced and spun to 7500 rpm by DynoTech Engineering and have new solid spicers.
The exhaust uses Hooker Super Comp headers (ceramic coated), and a modified all stainless and welded Random Tech exhaust. It utilizes 3 “tube from the collector and “X”, it then necks down to 2 ½” with stainless straight through Magna Flow mufflers and OEM lt-1/4 tips
The intake, fuel rails, water neck, alternator, pulleys, transmission case, trans. pan, oil pan, inspection cover, C-beam, beam plates, batwing and drive shaft/half shafts have all been powder coated by QC Coating. All plumbing parts for motor and transmission are Earl’s flex 350 with Black anodized ends. N20, and fuel/ brake lines are all Teflon core Earl’s hose. It also has a Dewitts Radiator, and external trans. cooler.
I have QA-1’S (single adjustable) on the front and Van Steel coil over package on the rear. All hub bearing assemblies have been replaced with all new OEM parts along with all tie rod ends. The brakes are all brand new OEM parts along with Hawk pads, Earl’s braided lines and Valvoline dot 4 type synthetic fluid. The wheels are billet specialties (powder coated) 4x15 and 10x15 rears with MT Sportsman series fronts and MT dot Drag radials (295/55/15, 27.2 x 10) that have less than 1000 miles. The entire drive train, including: brakes etc., suspension, starter, alternator have less than 3,200 miles !!
The interior is original with ZR-1 cluster (8K tach), raptor shift light, B&M pro mag shifter. The nitrous system has its own electrical system located in the glove box using relays and a 7 circuit Painless fuse panel for switched power. The bottle temp gauge (for the heater/blanket) and switches are in the cup holder with the N20 controller located in the center consol. All new wiring uses TXL wire, relays, appropriate wire size, weather packs (where needed) and all connections are silver soldered and shrink wrapped. None of the stock wiring has been adulterated in any way to run any of the add-ons on the car. If someone chose/wanted to re-install the AC, fx3 etc. all the stock wiring is intact. Headlight gear assemblies, bulbs etc. are all new, and the body is excellent, with no issues. The paint still looks great with no rock chips, lines etc. The interior is excellent plus, including the original sport seats, all trim perfect, and the car has a Kenwood receiver with 4 speakers in the original enclosures along with new OEM power antenna. ALL the weather stripping has been replaced with new OEM GM weather stripping, including window swipes.
I have ALL the original parts that I have taken off the car including wheels and tires (except the block and heads) and along with all documentation/paper work (including Helms manuals) will be given to the next owner.
This list is just off the top of my head, I’m sure I’m forgetting something’s that I have done to the car. If you are looking for one of these cars that is done right with all good parts this is the car for you …………some pics below. If there is anything in particular someone wants to see, I will send pics of any part of this car. I can tell you that it looks exactly the same in person as it does in the pics ! I am asking 20,000.or reasonable best offer. I can be contacted through email tuokaerf@yahoo.com
Thanks for looking,

I bet this car gets its price.
Theres lots of cars with cleaned up parts and some mods that try to look the part but this one is truly built up end to end meticulously and upgraded where it counts..knowing Mick its every nut and bolt with overkill everywhere lol.
Someone will get a knockout car for less than one similar could be built for. Done right
