The guy states in his ad "The car in the photo is a completed build we are currently shipping to Poland.  You are bidding on the exact build of this car.  Your final product will look just like this one.  It is a 400 AT with pinestipping and the SE look.  It is block and tranny matching numbers.  These are 14 to 19 week builds."


I mean what he is selling would be about a $15,000 car with all the stuff wrong with it.

Is that undercoating or whatever it is sprayed on by an 8 year old?

Yikes indeed.  Loved the blurry photos.  I like how the description says "Have sold over 200 TA's last 6 years on ebay and from our shop.  100% ebay approval, read our feedback"  Yeah all 6 of your feedback as a seller, 2 of which are from the same guy.

That's correct, it's getting quite annoying how he's trying to run his so called business. He needs to stop touching our trans ams and screwing them up. Anyone notice the standard door panels with deluxe seat covers on their "bandit"? If that's what they call a full restoration, I wonder what I would get if I asked for a driver quality restoration!!

If it's restored 100%, then why is there an A/C control panel and NO compressor? Must've have been a first for Pontiac ;) Man, this is bad. If that's what "restored" suspension bushings look like, then I'd hate to see his version of old ones.
