THIS AUCTION IS FOR A 1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM. SE BANDIT TRIBUTE. IT IS A MOSTLY ORIGINAL 2 OWNER (NON SMOKERS) LOW MILEAGE SURVIVOR. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR 10 YEARS. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL EXTERIOR COLOR AND WAS A FACTORY CAMEL TAN HOBNAIL INTERIOR CAR. IT HAS BEEN SLOWLY RESTORED AND WELL MAINTAINED OVER THE YEARS, AND ANY PROBLEMS AREAS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS NEEDED. IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN EVERY YEAR I HAVE OWNED IT ON NICE DAYS IN THE SUMMER AND WAS ONLY PARKED FOR A FEW MONTHS ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO WHILE THE ENGINE WAS BEING REBUILT. IT DOES HAVE MOSTLY ORIGINAL PAINT. IT HAS BEEN RE-FINISHED IN SOME SPOTS. THE BODY APPEARS TO BE A RUST FREE ORIGINAL EXCEPT NEW FLOOR PANS WERE WELDED IN BECAUSE OF SOME SMALL HOLES. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME MINOR RUST REPAIRS DONE BEFORE I OWNED THE CAR. THERE ARE SOME SMALL DENTS, CHIPS AND SCRATCHES BUT IT PRESENTS WELL AND I WOULD CONSIDER IT TO BE BETTER THAN AVERAGE DRIVER QUALITY. EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD EXCEPT TAPE PLAYER.
