Thanks for looking. This is a factory code 19 starlight black, black standard interior 1977 Pontiac Trans Am hardtop. Has a dealer installed service replacement 400 block with original heads and TH350 transmission and 3.23 rear. I purchased the car about 2 years ago and it was repainted last fall in Dupont base/clear paint. Excellent driver quality paint. I had vinyl custom decals made to mimic the birds on the Year One BRE car. The nose Pontiac emblem hole was filled in. It has the flush mounted ABS fender flairs from Year One, and their 17x9 cast aluminum snowlfakes with brand new Hankook Ventus 275/40/17 tires all the way around, new center caps and chrome lugnuts. Almost $2000 just in the wheels, tires and accessories. 1" progressive rate lowering front springs, Addco rear sway bar, new shocks, new alternator, new water pump, new distributor, new starter, new battery, all 4 new sylvania silver star headlights, led tail lamps, tomahawk single plane aluminum intake manifold, edelbrock 4bbl carb, engine was rebuilt by previous owner with a cam upgrade. Does leak a little oil out of the rear, probably the main seal. Just put a new 80lb melling oil pump in it just for peace of mind. Idles at 60 psi at 180* in the middle of traffic in July heat. Front brakes were just redone with new calipers. 3" Flowmaster dual exhaust with 3" stainless steel Pypes splitter tips. New Pioneer CD player, all original interior in nice shape. Brand new silver centered LeCarra leather wrapped Trans Am steering wheel. (I will add interior pictures ASAP). Dash was cracked so I put one of those cheap caps on it and it's starting to peel off. I'd have another one put on or it needs to be redone. All gauges work except the tach and clock. Car is damn near rust free. Has some very minor rust in the front floor pan. Fenders, trunk, door, hood, decklid are all great. Front core support is fine too. None of that typical leaky battery rust. I've driven it 400 miles one way many times, just returned from a 300 mile round trip from Georgia in it. I'm finishing up a frame off restoration on a '78 now so I really don't need 2 of them. I would consider a trade on a nice 04-06 GTO. Car for some reason has a salvage title. I have it presently registered, insured and tagged and drive it all the time. Salvage title means nothing where I am but check with your local DMV. Buyer pays all shipping costs and must make arrangements themselves. Car, keys and title will not be released until all funds have cleared the bank. $500 non refundable deposit must be paid within 24 hours of auctions end. No exceptions. By bidding you agree to these terms. . Note it had black 18" Boss wheels on it in older videos. Now it has the 17" Year One snowflakes as seen in the first video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGqagqkchpo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3TDrSCSUqk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrGdNDQrMlo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOAf3PTYCS4&NR=1 On Aug-04-10 at 18:57:56 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a lot of questions regarding the title. From the best I can tell, the car was most likely a theft recovery back when the car was only a few years old as Salvage is placed on the vehicle by a full coverage insurance policy. In South Carolina the car is insured, registered and tagged like any other vehicle. Many states like Georgia do not even issue titles on cars over 25 years old so the car can be operated there also like any other car but like I previously stated check with your local laws. It's not as big as a deal as it seems. Car is totally safe and operational as is.
