Who will step forward ? DESCRIPTION: A Beautiful, One Of A Kind, custom 1982 Trans Am, T-Tops, Brand new custom rally stripes.....This TransAm is in really nice condition inside and out. In 2005, this 26k original miles trans am went through a complete transformation. It has spent nearly its entire life in Florida. Over $15k invested in the body and engine to make it what it is. I want this sale to be be cost affordable and attractive to prospective buyers, who I want to see GET a great deal and LOVE this car. Multiple car show winner.

Hagerty Classic Car (Full) Insurance valued at just around $14k. Dr. Bob Mangus..... mdesigns@dmrtc.net or (812) 636-7817. This go round, I am starting the auction with a no reserve price, with a buy it now option. It will either draw interest/bids, or a BIN buyer who has to have it, or you may be the lucky one to get it at the starting bid. Either way is just fine with me. REASON FOR SELLING: The only reason for selling is my current health. I spent months looking for this particular style and performance in a vehicle. Unfortunately, I have had a reoccurance of my sciatica, which makes shifting/clutching through the gears a very painful experience. I should have known better! There is nothing to hide or complain with the car. If it were an automatic transmission, I would not be selling it. It is the very best and most powerful classic car I have had the pleasure to own. I am not in a must sell situation, Outright purchase is preferred. I want you to be the next, proud owner of this stunning Trans Am, Trades? maybe.....what have you? Conservatively, the car is well worth $10 - $11k as it sits, and next owner who has some time, will have the opportunity to own and enjoy, then sell at a handsome profit. I would, but just don't have the time. I need it out of the garage for my other car. I do not want to have to let this sit out in the weather, since it hasn't done so, since at least 2005, when it went through restomod. This Trans Am started life with 305 V8. It now has a built 350 V8 and 4 Speed, with posi traction rear end. The transmission and clutch are tight and responsive with no noises or anything of concern. The engine, transmission and rear end are dry and do not leak any fluids of any kind have been evident. No smoke or any funny noises. A beautiful running/sounding machine. The exterior has a one of a kind integrated lower wide body kit all the way around, and was finished with a beautiful & even Viper yellow paint with 5 coats of clear over. The paint is bright, deep, and everyone will know you when you are coming or going. The lower body kit on it gives it a very mean look, and is very fast and responsive. A lot of time and money was put into making it look and perform as it does today. The work was done professionally and with class. It has primarily been a south Florida car. NO RUST ISSUES ! This Trans Am is a one of kind, and the new owner will be extremely pleased. A must have car for the collector or investor. It has been well taken care of through the years, and well worth your consideration. Turns heads everywhere it goes, whether just cruising around or if you show it. It has won multiple car show awards over the past 6 years, and the trophies/awards come along with the car to the new owner. The photos tell all. Not beat on or raced.

You cannot notice them unless you are looking for them, and you are right upon them or are specifically looking for them. Speedometer/Odometer was never reconnected on the rebuild. Tachometer and other gauges all work. Aftermarket under dash gauges could be replaced. Driver side lower fender body kit has a very minor chip and crack. Driver side quarter panel has very minor spider cracking in the paint. I took a photo, and you have to be right on top of it to see. Emergency brake works, but needs to be tightened. Its time for an all around wheel balance, and I plan to have that done prior to sale. A/C components have long been removed. DEPOSIT/SHIPPING/DISCLAIMERS: The vehicle is licensed, and has full coverage and appraised at insured value by Hagerty Classic Car Insurance. Hagerty does not insure anything that they feel is not at the value they set. My asking price is way under what Hagerty will fully insure for the new owner.
