Vehicle Detail

So the story goes.... I bought directly from the original owner who was a line worker at GM , he traded in his 1972 Impala for this Trans Am for his wife. He drove and maintained the car up to 2002 at that point it was kept in his masonry garage started occasionally to keep the fluids going but essentially in storage. Inspection and registration stickers which are still are the windshield reflect that. The owner also completely rebuilt the original engine at Pontiac in 1998 at appox .100,000 miles . The car now has 106,000. When I purchased last year I had to replace the dry rotted tires and bad exhaust. I replaced with new correct size BF Good Rich Radial TA's and a correct style Magna Flow Exhaust with correct style tips feedin from the single catalyst convertor connection , so essentially looks great and sounds great . I also replaced the worn shock absorbers with KYB'S and installed a new battery and one brake line at the master changed the oil with ZDDP Defy. The car runs fabulous posi works transmission shifts correctly and super smooth on the highway . I did not charge the a/c though compressor is free and there is a new heater core in the trunk old one was bypassed. The factory am/fm radio sounds great and works great as does the factory CB radio with magnetic mount antenna. This is not a show car but a great jump in and drive driver . I would never completely restore this car its too original I would address the minor common rust at the bottom of the 1/4 s the trunk is fine and completely intact as is the space saver spare and tire inflator. The car is for sale locally .Please do not expect much and you'll be very happy to be able to experience this car tires smoking 4 barrels open is like no other it really is a big bad toy.
