Well I picked up another one
« on: July 23, 2009, 07:29:29 PM »
Hey everyone. I figured I would post a couple of pics of another project I just bought. It is a 79 trans am z code car, matching #400 4 spd. The car has been sitting for about 10 years. It will need front floor patches, lower quarter patches and a r/side trunk drop off. The fenders will need some repair also along with the doors. It is ws6 with disc brake rear and 15x8 snow flakes. I picked it up for $1000 and figured it would be a nice addition to my 78 w72 4spd car. Thanks for looking and I will post pics once I start the restoration.

Thanks guys. I have been looking for a 79 4 speed for a while, but either they were way overpriced for the shape they were in or the cars that were supposed to be matching numbers turned out not to be once I checked them myself. It needs some work, but I don't mind since I don't have a fortune into buying it.

What a great project car. Not bad at all. Very good price. Are you doing all the work yourself?

I haven't got it running yet. I plan on trying this weekend. I do plan on doing all of the mechanical and body work myself as I have been on my 78 trans am.
