A Carburetor from another 1978 Trans Am was professionally rebuilt and the Super t-10 Transmission and clutch were replaced with a remanufactured unit in November 2008. The rear end and brakes were completely rebuilt with new axels and seals, new and correct interior, new tires with honeycomb rims that were professional restored, new suspension and finally a new complete paint job about 6 years ago. The car is about as close to a frame-off restoration as it can get and is just about like new. The only item that does not work is the clock-everything functions as it should and the car drives great! Starts right up, has updated Pertronix ignition. This drives like a car should. Windows, Door locks and Rear defrost work great. The seats had new padding installed and feel and look If you’re looking for a non-T-top Special high performance Trans Am, this is it! It is exceptional in all areas and stands out with the right options. No worry about leaking T-tops here and it is a much more solid ride without those tops.
