Sounds like he is trying to take advantage of ya. TC5 was never a shaft car. Maybe when the big dogs were first testing a new chassis but I doubt he would have any sort of prototype. I would agree that if it is an Associated car its more than likely a TC4 or older TC3 with conversion chassis. Id say offer him $100 if he has spares and its in good cond. Otherwise hold out for a TC5 if thats what you want. $200 or so is the current price on a good used one. Price will start going down on used ones when they start announcing dates on the new one later this year.

Good luck.
