The following is a list of what's been done, all new including but not limited to:

The Black interior is near flawless. New Paint (Starlite Black)I spent over 15k on the paint, and body alone on the car.Car was taken apart, sanded down, blocked, primed, blocked, primed, painted, blocked, painted, blocked and then cleared. Inside the fenders are just as nice as the outside. Body lines, gaps are better than factory.
Door Jambs are all clean and glossy just like the body.
- Exterior Body
No dents or scratches. Body lines are perfect. Car was taken off body and painted and then put back on. The body has its original sheet metal is and is totally rust free! The car is really straight. Floor pans are solid. Still has the factory red oxide primer underneath.

This car runs, drives, and functions Great! Drove this Car to the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge over 6 hrs round trip. Might need some minor tweaking and a few things due to just being finished up to your liking but nothing mechanical or cosmetic. You would be hard pressed to find a cleaner/nicer 1978 Trans Am. Words do not do it justice, you will not be disappointed. I haveplaced avery reasonable Reserve for a car of this quality of car. Many people are asking much more for a car that's not this nice. Do not call and low ball me. I have over 40k in this car and that's not counting my time and sweat. The last Trans Am I sold went for 55K and this car is probably nicer. These Cars are appreciating in value everyday. This is a Great investment. I'm sure I'm forgetting something because I can't list everything that's been done to the car.
I do have a buy it now and you can contact me for any questions or concerns. Email me for a number.
Please ask your wife and make all arrangements for funds before bidding. I will assist in shipping and the car is insured and garage kept if your need storing until you arrange pickup. Car will not last long. I have a Burt Reynolds Signed Glove Box I might could throw in for the right amount.
Thanks and Good Luck!
