Before I go into the sales pitch, a lot of you know me and the car and the first question that arises in your mind is "why?" Well, I've actually had my heart set on a t-top car and after going over and over this, I've decided that what I really want is a t-top car so, among some other things so she's up for sale. I thought to give those most interested in these cars the first chance at it before she goes on e-bay. She will hit ebay in about 7 to 14 days.

Up for sale is a 1975 Pontiac Trans Am. This car looks as good in person as you see it in the pictures and the power plant rocks. From the Pontiac 400ci upgraded with a Lunati cam, new lifters, timing chain, timing gears, intake, and carb to the freshly rebuilt TH350 with an added kick of a shift kit, to the Pontiac 3.23 posi-trac rear end, this car rocks. It's a great driver and does well at local shows. I?ve put over $8,000 into the drive train with parts and labor but she still needs some things done to it. The interior could use some freshening up, although it is in fairly good shape, as the pictures show, and it does need some body work. The front fender flares are from a '79 which will go with the car as well as the Air Dam. I have PHS documentation as well, which I?ve included in the pictures below. Here is a list of what I've done to the car so far, although not every detail. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, although I'll attempt to help where I can. I am asking $15,000 OBO.

Pontiac 400 Engine...
Lunati CAM
Lunati Lifters
Edelbrock Performer Intake

I do have a short video of the car starting up so you can hear and see it if you like. I will also take additional pics if needed. E-mail if your interested and I'll send a link to the video, pictures or both and yes, the e-mail address is real. Since I'm posting in a public forum, this is the e-mail address I will use.

I'll be looking for a 1976 T-top car that doesn't need too much attention to it but not perfect. I would like to tinker some :)

the only thing i see is it was supposed to be silver and you tookoff the air cowl bowl, but the paint is flawless so shouldn't be too bad. I see you already have a bid though. i'd put a comment saying it's a real auction though as i have seen people do private listings like that trying to "fish" for email addy's.

hehehe, no, I just cleaned the car and had sprayed wheel cleaner stuff on it. The other rear end pic, which shows the other wheel has the same thing on it as well, which isn't shown in the ad.
