use www.tinypic.com and upload the photo there in the size for a message board then just copy the link they give you to the text box on this forum page and press post.  very simple takes two seconds.  im sure photos would help out the car looks great from the little profile pic you have.  good luck with the sale.

Looks like a really nice car for the money.  That's a price you typically see on project cars.

Hey, Ive been looking for a 77-81 Trans Am for a while now
I live in the Indianapolis area and actually found a project 79' 403 hardtop for $2k that i was seriously considering but after seeing this it definatly takes the cake
Honestly your listing is what coaxed me into making a profile on here haha
Id love to be baptized into the family through a "passing the torch" type thing haha
Has this car sold yet or is it still on the market?

I have sent a text message, sent an email and called and left a message but I have not had a response. My initial interest was within a very short time after the lower price was published. Owner may be out of pocket.

Just saw the car yesterday. Someone with more time needs to get this car. Does not need a lot of work

It a solid car, with good floors and panels. The owner Dave 217-841-7806 was honest and forthcoming with information.

I was really interested in buying but my wife would have killed me if I got another project.

This car needs some minor work to make it a great car, here is what I saw:
1) Like I said floors/rear pan etc are solid
2) Mechanically its great 403/trans/carb/ etc are working fine.
3) Most of the work is cosmetic: paint/dye related

Paint:
    a) was done with panels on the car so the edges need to be wet sanded
    b) Also the door/hood openings need some rust spots taken care of and then painted
    c) Divers side fender is not original to car but came off a blue bird, paint shows with the hood open but panel is solid.


Check out more below.

Interior:
1) Cracked dash but at this price that is expected
2) Radio does not work but is an orginal- Dave told me this from the get go
3) Has Shifter bezel without cracks that is included with car
4) has rear package tray included with car
5) Drivers seat has rip in stiching but that can be sewn together
6) All the seats need a redye due to fading
7) Door panels are good just need carpet at bottom redone.

Wheels and tire
1) Has new tires that go with car
2) Rims are 7in Snowflakes that need to be redone.

Engine bay needs detail and repaint.

Like I said this is a simple project car, mostly spray paint and time related. If I did not already have 2 going I would have gotten this car.

Like I said give Dave a call he is totally forcoming on informaiton.

Last words on the car.

Its a complete and mostly original 1979 car, including spare tire, all the stuff in the engine bay, build sheet, etc.

It was so tempted to buy it but as I said my wife would kill me if I got another project. The car is drivable and with a few weekends and some paint it would be 8000-10000 car.

Hi all ,
   Just an update on the car , know I am listing it low - priced right .  I just posted a few more pics on Page 2 of this post.
Last fall I had put in new plugs and wires . In the past 2 weeks I put on a new distributor cap and rotor , old one looked ok.
Also , had a new starter put on , new EGR valve ,  and a couple new vacuum hoses , and had a great mechanic fine tuned the carb .  It started and ran pretty good before , but runs really well now  .   I want the new owner to be happy with the car .  The car is ready to be driven .  It is all tuned up.   Also , found a nice shifter bezel , and new window cranks still in bags included .
