Back in Nov. I bought an 88 900TC. It was in less than good shape. It needed a new top(ripped), had several rust spots, needed a motor mount, needed a tune up bad, and had some funky clutch action. It had 170K on it. I bought it for $1500 and have done all the work myself (minus the body work = $400) The quotes for a top were about 1200-1500. I bought one through Hirsch Automotive, and saved a bundle. I've gone through most of the problems a few little ones are still around but not a big deal, like the interior lights not working. I did the tune-up which included resetting the base boost back up to 5.75 psi, it was down at 3. That really made a difference in performance. With all the repairs I've done, not including any labor costs, with the price of the car I have more than the $3000 that the car you're looking at into mine. Would I do it again, sure. I have never seen another black C900 conv. out on the road and with a few performance mods such as the "red box" tweak the car moves out pretty good. Fun car! If you have any model specific questions feel free to write and ask me.
