Vehicle Detail

You are looking at a 1979 Black "bandit" trans am. This T/A was in northern California up until last year when I brought it to Texas. I could not find any rust, except small surface rust, while restoration took place. Starting from the bottom I had the underside of the car sanded and undercoated. New gas tank and fuel sending unit. New shock absorbers. It has all four honeycomb rims with new BF Goodrich T/A Radials 225/70R15. Power steering gear box replaced. At a professional hotrod shop, the engine was completely removed, disassembled, cleaned, painted, then reassembled with new bearings, gaskets, rings, valve job, freeze plugs, thermostat, oil pump, timing set and new plus and wires. Replaced the old quadrajet carb with a new Edelbrock 650 carb! California smog devices were removed and catalytic converter. This gives more HP and is not required for vehicles manufactured before 1985. The A/C system was completely overhauled. This includes a new S6 Compressor, new dryer, orifice, gaskets, O-rings, alum. parts cleaned, sealed, pressure tested, set on a vacuum and new refrigerant installed. New MSD Digital ignition with rev limiter. The radiator was put in vat, disassembled then reassembled and painted. Brake master cylinder replaced. Heater core replaced. Many new flex , vacuum and gas lines replaced. New Battery. The interior has all new upholstery and rear deck, including new speakers. New carpet kit, headliner, door panels, dash cap. Dash was removed to completely and correctly install dash cap. New radio, new power antenna with power switch. Dash instrument cluster panel remanufactured to factory detail. New matching steering wheel and steering column rebuilt. New console shifter plate. All internal heater A/C duct removed, cleaned, reassembled and aluminum taped to seal. Power locks replaced, drivers side lock/latch system replaced. New paint job August 2012, new Phoenix graphics, all weather stripping replaced including T-top weather stripping. This car runs and drives great. The A/C is cold and every option works! The radio is a base model. ( Not great sound) I have many receipts and original build sheet. Things that it needs. Center console has a tear and its armrest has scratches, but completely usable. For some reason cannot get the tachometer to work, but I will have it looked at.
