LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THIS IS A COMPLETELY RUST FREE NEVADA CAR THAT WAS SOLD NEW IN LAS VEGAS AS PER THE BUILD SHEET AND HAS BEEN HERE EVER SINCE. IT IS A WS6 CODE (PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION AND 15X8 SNOWFLAKE WHEELS INSTEAD OF 15X7 ON THE STANDARD T/A) W72 CODE(HIGH PERFORMANCE PONTIAC 400) ORIGINAL 4-SPEED CAR. THERE WERE 4,112 4-SPEED W72 PONTIAC 400 MOTOR TRANS AMS BUILT IN 1978. ADD THE WS6 AND THAT ITS MARTINIQUE BLUE AND ITS A PRETTY RARE CAR. ALL BODY PANELS ARE ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE HOOD(WHICH WAS STOLEN AND REPLACED YEARS AGO). THERE ARE NO MAJOR DENTS OR ANYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE BESIDES A FEW SMALL DINGS. THIS CAR IS SO STRAIGHT, RUST FREE AND COMPLETE YOU WONT BELIEVE IT. ITS STILL WEARING MOST OF ITS ORIGINAL PAINT. ITS ALL THERE. I EVEN HAVE THE SAIL PANEL BIRD EMBLEMS AND THE ORIGINAL RADIO THAT COME WITH THE CAR. ITS WEARING ALL 4 OF ITS ORIGINAL WHEELS. IT CAME FROM THE THE FACTORY WITH A/C, PWR WINDOWS AND LOCKS, TILT WHEEL,DELUXE INTERIOR, AND FINNISHED IN THE DESIRABLE ONE YEAR ONLY COLOR, MARTINIQUE BLUE. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS A 74 YL CODE PONTIAC 400 AND A MUNCIE 4-SPEED OUT OF A 71 GTO WITH A 455. I BELIEVE THE TRANNY TO BE A M-22 BUT COULD BE AN M-21. I AM A MOPAR GUY FIRST AND A PONTIAC GUY SECOND AND AM UNAWARE OF ANY VISUAL EXTERNAL DIFFERENCES FROM THE TWO. OF COURSE THE M-21 HAS STRAIGHT CUT GEARS INTERNALLY. OK IM GETTING OF TOPIC. THIS SWEET T/A HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS AND KNOW FROM TALKING TO A PREVIOUS OWNER THAT IT HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE 90'S. I HAVE GOT IT TO FIRE AND RUN BY PUTTING A DECENT CARB ON IT AND GRAVITY FEEDING THE FUEL TO IT.THERE IS AN EDELBROCK CARB ON IT AT THE MOMENT WHICH IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS A COUPLE QUADRAJETS(THE ORIGINAL PONTIAC QUADRAJET AND A PARTS CARB). I DROPPED THE GAS TANK, FOUND THE BUILD SHEET ABOVE IT, AND CLEANED AND RE-INSTALLED TANK. A NEW FUEL PUMP IS ALSO INCLUDED. THIS CAR IS ALL THERE AND IN ONE PIECE. IT HAS NOT BEEN STRIPPED AND BUTCHERED LIKE MOST YOU SEE OUT THERE. THE CHROME FOR AROUND THE BACK GLASS IS IN THE TRUNK ALONG WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR BRACKETS. THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS THE ONLY THING MISSING BESIDES THE FRONT AIR DAM AND FLARES WHICH WERE DRY ROTTED. I REALLY WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING THIS CAR FOR MYSELF BUT I HAVE TO MANY PROJECTS AND NOT ENOUGH TIME, MONEY, AND SPACE. THE BLACK 72 FORMULA IS NOT INCLUDED. ONLY THE 78 BLUE TRANS AM.THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME. I HAVE SOLD MANY MUSCLE CARS ON EBAY WITH SUCCESS AND I JUDGE SUCCESS BY HAVING A HAPPY AND SATISFIED BUYER. MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK BACKS THIS UP. I AM HONEST AND EASY TO WORK WITH AS LONG AS YOU ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD AND HONEST AS WELL. I HAVE ALSO SOLD CARS OVERSEAS TO SWEDEN AND AUSTRALIA. KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE...YOU WILL ARRANGE AND PAY FOR THE SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION OF THE CAR. I WILL ASSIST IN LOADING AND WORK WITH THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY AS REQUIRED. A 500$ DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24HRS OF YOU WINNING THE AUCTION. THE REMAINDER MUST BE PAYED WITHIN 72HRS THROUGH PAYPAL, CASH, OR CASHIERS CHECK FROM BANK OF AMERICA OR WELLS FARGO. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAY ANOTHER WAY MAKE SURE YOU ASK ME BEFORE BIDDING. ALSO CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE OR ZERO FEEDBACK. HAVE A NICE DAY AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!On Oct-23-12 at 08:22:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Let me correct my mistake before you all attack me. The m-22 rockcrusher tranny has straight cut gears. The m-21 has helical buts they are both way better than the Borg Warner T-10 that came in theses cars as all you die hard GM guys know. Thanks. Sorry for the confusion. Also I forgot to add an engine bay shot and will try to get one up this evening.On Oct-24-12 at 17:46:09 PDT, seller added the following information: I cant add a photo of the engine compartment since I already have 24 photos and there are already bids on the item. I would have to cancel everyones bids and i dont want to do that. Interested buyers can text me at 775-427-5362 and I will text you a pic. Sorry for the inconveniance.
