Vehicle Detail
My grandparents bought the car in the fall of 1978. It stayed with them from the time they bought it until this past year, when after my grandmother passing away, I inherited it. With the exception of the past five years or so, the car was kept in amazing shape by my grandfather. Five years ago, he developed Alzheimer's Disease, and the car sat in his garage, ignored. When I got the car, I had every intention of restoring it and making it my pet car, but the Army has different plans for me. I hate to get rid of a family heirloom, but I don't have the time to give the car the love it deserves. It would make a great father / son project or it could be used as a great parts car for someone restoring a 79, 80, or 81 Trans Am. She needs transmission work before she can drive, and I drained the oil before putting her in storage, but she does run. She does leak a little oil and she has a fair amount of rust, but she could be great again with the right pair of hands and tools. The pictures don't give her Mayan red coat justice. It's a beautiful shade of red, but will need a new clear coat. There is a new stereo and speakers in the car. The speakers alone are worth $200. If you have any questions, please let me know. Car will not drive until transmission work is done, so buyer with either pick up the car or pay all transportation expenses. More photos are available upon request.
