Funny...the guy gives the transamtech website as documentation to show the L78 production number...and then mis-quotes the number. :roll: The 548 should be 748.
-
Funny... I just sent you an email about this car Larry....
I hope this one goes to the end... like to see what an Average Y81 will sell for...
-
Solar78.... This is the guy that is close to me, the one I was telling you about.
-
I thought it might be... wasn't sure..
TA behind the Y81 is a nice one! That going up for sale?
-
Lots of stuff wrong with this car, looks like a piece/put together car to me...
78-80 deluxe seats w/standard door panels and dash, 78-81 radio, wrong shaker base, late 77 shaker (this car should have a short 77 shaker) wrong valve covers (not a W72), shift indicator rusty like windshield leaks, no center on the horn button, PHS shows power windows but this car now has roll ups, non air panel under column, w/air dash and glovebox, rear seat console awol, incorrect (and rolled) striping, I bet its even worse in person as the pics are not that good.
-
Yeah, this guy is close to me, I have spoken with him quite a few times. Yes, this car is a nothing.... has alot of stuff wrong with it. Did you even notice the different snowflakes between the drivers side and passenger side?
This is another seller that expects a new paint job to sell a car and people buy it without knowing all of the stuff wrong with it. I would hate to see the electrical and mechanical issues with this car.
-
I would bet he still gets between 8-10 for the car..
Just watch.. there is ALWAYS someone that will pau a lot for something like this... a lower production TA that is...
Didn't catch teh two diff types of wheels.. gotta go back and check this car out...
haha
-
I just asked him a question. lets see if he answers. ( The build sheet says pwr windows, i see crank handles on the doors, and the rear seat console is missing. Are there any other things you may know of wrong with the car?)
-
I asked about the miles and the cowl plate codes....
NO COWL PLATE and 112,000 miles....
I am re-estimating my guess at the sale price at $7,500-9,500
I would still love to have this car in my garage!!!
-

Midyear did a good job of covering alot of things wrong with this ride.
Good eye on those snowflakes Brett, :wink: I had to look a second and third time to notice it.
I would also add that the small SE stripe is missing on the lower section of the back bumper.
-
What are you talking about. It has power windows. The switches are right there in the center console. It just has the same manual assist option that Brett's new car has. :lol:
-
Is it just me, OR ARE YOU BOTHERED BY ADS THAT ARE IN ALL CAPS AND BIG LETTERS TOO?:? :? :?
It just makes it so hard to read...
-
My friend talked to him today, he is asking $7k for the car. The last car he had on Ebay was a 78 SE clone. He was asking $11k for the car and it sold for $19,200 on Ebay.

$7K is a bit more then I can spend on a Daily Driver right now.. or I would pick it up in a heart beat!!!
-
She's up to $8500! With 1 day and 20 hours left!!!
I am enjoying watching this.... just to get a quasi idea of what the ebay folks would pay for a Y81.
-
Well he says the doors were replaced and the rear console he threw out.
-
He THREW OUT a rear console ???? :shock:

Get a rope! :x

As I said in another post....
Stupid is as stupid does..... :roll:
-
Well he says the doors were replaced and the rear console he threw out.
I wonder why the doors were replaced. Especially both doors.

Hello everyone!
I am the one who bought the 1977 Y81 Trans am on Ebay.
The car is going to Norway.
as you, I am wery exited on the condition on the car.
hopefully it is okay.
this is my first trans am, and looking forward to drive it.
-
Hammond welcome to Trans am Ownership!
-
I am fully aware of that the car may be a Put together piece, but anyway, I hope that I can give it a decent home the following years to come.
My plans is to rebuild the eletrical windows, AC, and cruise control.
I maybe try to make the car reappear as a rear 77 and not as a 77/78 as is now
the seller seems to be a nice fellow, so I am looking forward to get the car landing in Norway.
there arent to many 77/78 trans ams, so I believe it will be a real eyecatcher.
-
Ah.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend!
I am sure you will give it a good home.. and bring it back to its former self!!!
Keep us posted and as everyone will agree... WE LOVE PHOTOS!
Good luck with your purchase!!!
-
I wonder....
a missing cowl plate. is that serious? does that mean that the car can be a fraud?
-
Did you get PHS Documents? And it Matches the VIN? Shows Y81?
Car wasn't "rebodied" was it?
I don't know what the implications of no COWL plate are. I suppose he doesn't have the build sheet either?
The others guys/gals should be able to give you some more insight on this.
-
Looks like the Y81 is back.

did anybody notice the driver side seat is actually a passenger or is that just the way im looking at it ?
-
You are correct Eroc, The seat has the seat belt restraint on the wrong side
-
Hello Everyone.
I now have received the Y81 in norway, and would write down my impressions of the car.....
first...the car prove to be TOTALLY rust free.....a NICE thing that that was right in the ad....
second.....the paint is acutally wery nice. not perfect, but wery nice! even on a short distance, the car looks nice.
So, the car has a correct VIN number stating that it is a original Y-81. but it is a combination of 77/78.
it has 78 seats, and standard door innershields. and a lot of other things "78" . so it is clearly that someone has used a 78 parts car to fix this baby up.
My plan is to change all those parts, and make it a 77 again. I believe it will have the most value then.
So, in total, I am wery happy, and if you would ask me, ......yes. I would buy a car from this seller again.

Thanks HAmmond Be shure and send pictures..

Glad to hear that everything worked out right.
