78 TRANS AM UNRESTORED SURVIVOR! SOUTHERN CAR SOLD NEW IN CONWAY, AR AND HAS REMAINED IN ARKANSAS.I AM LISTING A COUPLE OF CARS I KNOW I CAN'T GET TO FOR AT LEAST A YEAR OR SO FOR RESTORATION.THIS CAR IS A NUMBER'S MATCHING CAR WITH BUILD SHEET. IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR 20 YEARS OUT IN THE SUN. THE BODY IS IN REMARKABLE SHAPE. THE ORGINIAL PAINT IS SUN BLEACHED ON TOP, BUT ONLY A SMALL DENT IN REAR LEFT QUARTER PANEL. THE DOORS DO NOT SAG AT ALL AND BOTH SHUT GOOD. WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED, BUT THE REST OF THE GLASS IS GOOD. TRUNK LEAKED SO THERE IS SOME RUST IN THE TRUNK AND SOME SOFT SPOTS IN THE FLOOR. OUTSIDE BODY IS ALMOST PERFECT. RADIATOR SUPPORT IS RUSTED UNDER BATTERY TRAY AND WILL NEED REPLACING.AFTER 20 YEARS OF NOT RUNNING, I WENT THROUGH FUEL SYSTEM. NEW FUEL PUMP, NEW FUEL HOSES, AND FILTERS. I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER, SPARK PLUGS AND BATTERY. THE CAR FIRED UP AND DROVE GOOD, TRANS SHIFTS GOOD, BRAKES WORK, BUT NEED BLED. IT IS REALLY NOT ROAD WORTHY, BUT CAN BE LOADED ON A TRAILER FOR TRANSPORT. A/C CLUTCH IS FREE AND HAD A BELT ON IT UNTIL I TURNED THE ENGINE OVER AND IT BROKE BECAUSE IT WAS ROTTED. A/C SYSTEM STILL HAS PRESSURE IN IT .THE CAR IS WORTH DOING A FULL RESTORATION ON. WE ALL KNOW THESE ARE REALLY GOING UP IN VALUE FAST. I WILL GET THIS CAR ON THE LIFT LATER AND ADD MORE PICTURES OF FLOORS AND TRUNK.THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION WITH A LOW STARTING PRICE. CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS, MIKE 479-238-1122 On Aug-22-15 at 09:26:03 PDT, seller added the following information: WOW! The floors are in better shape than I remember. The only sheet metal I would buy for this car is front toe boards, radiator core support, and trunk pan. Left rear floor pan is dented and can be straightened.
