pontiacman- it is not a special edition, it is a clone, the car was originaly the brown color with tan camel interior but the person who i bought it from painted it black and put black and red interior in from one of the anniversary editions. I am debating now whether to convert it back to what it was or keep it black. (the black and red interior is really nice so I don't know what to do)

And here are some pics of the interior, as you can see I need to swap to black seatbelts and do a lot more cleaning and other interior work

The interior is from an 81 Turbo Daytona pace car. I'll bet it looks awesome in a Black car. The front seats appear to be from a 3rd gen F body. I would try to find the Daytona front seats, put a stock wheel  and shifter in it and call it a day.

I have another set of seats, the stock shifter and the stock steering wheel, along with 2 boxes of other parts including all the wheel flares and the front valence, extra windows and a bunch of other parts. The guy who I bought it from had boxes of parts for the car laying aroung so I got them all with the car. I figured even though the car is not completely original, it was definately worth the money. I only paid $3600 for the car plus all the parts.

The tires are 295 50 15 at all corners. Thanks for the comments!

the reason i asked as that im always on the lookout for a possibility there was a y81 78.....and i know there are none supposed ever to have been built but there is always hope since records were bad that year. but regardless it is a very nice ride!

Glad you could make it man. Thats a COOL rude man............Those are some interesting sunroofs.........looks like the open left and right, rather than forward, right? Do they come completely out?

That is correct, they pop out towards the outside of the car, I also think I can completely take them out... I'll have to look into that

I've never seen a sunroof open that way . I suspect someone bought 2 conventional sun roofs and turned them sideways ?
Looks kinda cool like that though ,how is it on the highway when there open?

That sunroof is pretty awsome, it gives the car some character.  Welcome to the site
