THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY TRANS AM AUCTION. THIS CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND VERY SOLID. I OWN A BODY SHOP HERE IN VIRGINIA AND JUST FINISHED A COMPLETE REPAINT. THIS INCLUDED STRIPPING THE CAR TO BARE METAL AND REPAIRING ANY PROBLEM AREAS, EPOXY PRIMERING, 2K PRIMERING, BLOCKING AND FINALLY FINISHING UP WITH A BASE CLEAR PAINT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND FINISHING THE CAR WITH TRIZACT SANDING AND BUFFING. THE CAR HAS MINOR DIE BACK THAT COMES WITH ANY MULTPLE LAYERS OF MATERIAL. ( I COULD HAVE IT DONE IF WINNING BIDDER WOULD LIKE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE ) I HAVE TAKEN THIS RESTORATION TO A POINT THAT ANYBODY COULD FINISH AT HOME. THE EXPENSIVE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE CONTRACT OUT IS DONE. THE CAR WILL NEED ALL OF THE CORRECT EXTERIOR DECALS, STRIPING, RUBBER SEALS, TIRES, ONE RIM WITH TRIM RING AND CENTER CAP AND A PARTIAL TO FULL INTERIOR KIT .THE CAR WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL 400 ENGINE. THIS ENGINE WILL NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. THE 400 THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CAR IS BELEIVED TO BE OUT OF A LATE 76 EARLY 77 TRANS AM. THIS ENGINE DOES HAVE A "NOISE " KNOCK WHEN IT RUNS, THE OIL PRESURE IS GREAT. ITEMS THAT ARE NEW THAT I INSTALLED INCLUDE PLUGS, INTAKE AND VALVE COVER GASKETS, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND CARBURATOR KIT. I AM SURE THAT YOU MAY FIND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU FEEL THE ENGINE IN THE CAR MIGHT NEED. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE SOLID EXHAUST WHICH STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY SOLID WITH A DIME SIZE RUST SPOT AROUND THE CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND OTHER AREAS, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF NECESSARY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO COME BY TO THE SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. I AM IN VIRGINIA, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME DIFFERENCE IF YOU ARE CALLING FROM A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE. PLEASE CALL MIKE FOR QUESTIONS. THANKS 540 353-2269
