HISTORY: THIS IS BEING RELISTED DUE TO SCHEDULE PROBLEM TO PICK UP CAR, PLEASE ALLOW 24 HOURS AFTER AUCTION FOR PICKUP SO I CAN PULL CAR OUT OF STORAGE TO GET READY. LAST BIDDER WANTED IT NEXT DAY AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE THERE. SORRY.... PICK UP BY APPOINTMENT. DETAILS: THIS IS A Y88 CODE 1978 GOLD EDITION TRANS AM, THIS CAR WAS PARKED IN 1983 WITH 35K MILES AND SAT THE REST OF ITS LIFE TILL MY BUDDY PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO AND LEFT IT TO THE ESTATE. WE GOT IT AND WENT THROUGH IT TO THIS POINT AND HAVE TO BAIL OUT NOW, THERE IS NO ROOM TO KEEP IT INSIDE THIS WINTER AND SINCE WE DID NOT GET IT FINISHED FOR THIS SUMMER TO DRIVE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WORK DONE SO FAR. NOW WE ARE LETTING THIS ONE GO SINCE WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE WE ARE STILL FINISHING AS WELL, I DON'T WANT TO PAY STORAGE ON THIS ONE ALL WINTER.OUR LOSS IS YOUR GAIN... ALL THE HARD STUFF IS DONE FOR YOU ALREADY! CONDITION: THE CAR FROM SITTING HAD SOME RUST ON THE LOWER 1/4 PANEL, AND FLOORPAN. WE HAD ALL NEW PANELS PUT ON IT DONE COMPLETE AND CORRECT. NOT JUST HACKED TOGETHER, HIGH DOLLAR WAS SPENT SINCE IT IS A SPECIAL EDITION CAR. WE HAD EVERYTHING REPLACED TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS SOLID IT'S ENTIRE LIFE.. ALL NEW 1/4'S, WHEELHOUSES, ROCKERS, INTERIOR FLOORS, FENDERS, DOORS ECT. OVER $20,000.00 SPENT ON BODYWORK TO BRING IT TO CORRECT CONDITION. THE COMPLETE UNDERBODY, TRUNK AND INTERIOR FLOORS AS BEEN PREPPED AND ARE DONE. WE REPLACED HOOD AND FENDERS WITH RUST FREE SOUTHERN PARTS JUST CAUSE IT HAD A SMALL HOLE STARTING ON THE ORIGINALS. THE CAR WAS NOT BAD TO START WITH WE JUST SPARED NO EXPENSE TO MAKE IT RIGHT. THE TRUNK FLOORS AND REAR PAN WERE STILL PERFECTLY SOLID AND THEY DID NOT GET REPLACED. ANY AND ALL WELDING SEAMS ON FLOORS & 1/4S WERE ALL FINISHED ON BOTH SIDES, YOU CAN'T TELL ANY WORK WAS DONE IF PUT ON A HOIST OR IF YOU LOOK INSIDE THE CAR, ALL REPAIRS ARE INVISABLE PRETTY MUCH.. NEEDED TO COMPLETE: BODY NEEDS TO BE BLOCKED AND PRIMED A FEW TIMES AND PAINTED. -INTERIOR NEEDS REDONE, WE HAVE MOST PLASTICS AND SEATS, NO DASH, CARPET OR HEADLINER. BASICALLY IT NEEDS COMPLETE INTERIOR TO BE SHOW WORTHY. PLASTICS ARE CHALKY AS MOST ARE. -ORIG 400 PONTIAC MOTOR AND TRANS HAVE NOT RUN SINCE 1983 WHEN IT WAS PARKED. THEY NEED GOING THRU, WE NEVER GOT IT OUT OF THE CAR YET. IT IS STILL IN THE CAR AS ORIGINAL. -IT HAD MAGS ON IT SO WE BOUGHT A SET OF CORRECT 8 INCH SNOWFLAKES FOR IT. THEY NEED PAINT, THEY ARE BLUE AND NEED TO BE REDONE GOLD.. -FROM THE FIREWALL BACK AND THE ENTIRE UNDERNEITH WAS ALL DONE. SUBFRAME NEEDS CLEANING AND PAINT WHEN MOTOR IS OUT. THE CORE SUPPORT HAS SURFACE RUST AND A HOLE AROUND BATTERY AS MOST DID FROM BATTERY LEAKAGE. -WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL GOLD T-TOPS THAT GO WITH IT. ANYTHING WE DID NOT DISCARD IS WITH THE CAR AND GOES WITH IT. THESE CARS REDONE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS A GREAT INVESTMENT! ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE ONLY ASKING PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR FOR IT. PAID $7000.00 FOR CAR PAID $20,000.00 PARTS AND LABOR TO DATE.. ACTUALLY MORE.... PAID $900.00 TOWING, STORAGE, SHIPPING PARTS TO DATE $27,900.00 SPENT SO FAR APPROX. WHOEVER FINISHES THIS CAR WILL BE PROUD TO OWN IT! DON'T MISS OUT! GOOD LUCK BIDDING....
