Up for sale is a 1972 Pontiac Trans Am survivor. Only 1,286 were ever made that year. It has never been apart and still has all of the original drive train in it including the 800 cfm QuadraJet carburetor which has never been apart. The original complete 455 H.O. engine is still in it and appears to have never been out of the car. It runs and drives and still burns rubber when shifting into second gear. The carburetor accelerator pump is very weak and if the engine isn't started every 4 days or so then a small amount of gas has to be added down the carburetor. After that or if started every day it does not need it. These carburetors are very rare and I don't want to take anything apart if I don't need to. This is an original white car with blue stripes and a blue interior.The original shaker scoop is there with solenoids inside and original paint with 455 HO decal. It has the original radiator in very tired condition and can be re-cored to keep the correct tanks. It has the very tired original exhaust. It has the correct original date code stamped rally wheels. It has the correct PQ Turbo 400 Transmission and correct 10 bolt Positraction rear. The air conditioning compressor was removed by the previous owner. An A/C compressor with brackets (can't guarantee all there or correct) are in the trunk with the jack and space saver spare tire. This car sold new in Palm Springs, California and has been in California all of it's life. The odometer shows approx 38,000 miles. I am not representing this as original and there are no records to show show otherwise. The previous owner was going to restore it and put it inside of his garage and sanded the paint down all over. It sat in that garage for over 30 years afterward never running. He eventually got in his 80's and had some Alzheimer's issues making obtaining the car difficult even though he had it offered for sale. I got it running and currently registered. I have driven it occasionally locally but never far as the cooling system is old and I avoid overheating it. The left front bumper bracket is bent and could be straightened with the bumper removed, the bumper itself seems good.I have no parts for it other than what is in the photos. I do not have the front grilles. The previous owner feels that he has them but no idea where in the massive collection of junk that he has hoarded over the years so no help there. I have had this car for over a year and am realizing that I am getting older and simply don't have time to restore it as I have 2 other cars that I can't find time for ahead of it. I moved it to a storage garage in a nearby city so I am listing it with photos from my files as going there isn't easy. It has the usual body rust at the right wheelhouse area. I have a new patch panel for it in the trunk that is large enough to repair it. The rest of the rust showing is very heavy surface rust, the floors appear to be fine. I could have primed it but I feel that the new owner would rather see that it is all the original uncrashed sheet metal. Reserve is lower than I've been offered to part it out. I just want a good home for this survivor. It's almost 50 years old, so why kill it now. Winning bidder to pay transportation costs. Being sold as-is; where-is. No other parts are included other than the previously mentioned items in the trunk and what you see in the photos. Thanks for Looking and Good Luck!
