and his 1978 Trans Am. Seems he and his carb don't get along to well together.


 "I´m Ricardo from Miami, I´m the proud owner of this 1977 pontiac Trans Am , with only 12.500 original miles. This was my dream car since smokey and the bandit was released back on 1977. Since i grew up in Venezuela (south america) and GM only produced chevrolets there, I never was able to find one T/A. Then i moved to Miami on 2000, then i started looking for my dream car, first i purchased a white 1979 T/A with t tops, 403 cc olds, i sold it for 1500 more than i paid for it, it had to many things to restore, and i started looking for another. 1 year later i found the opportunity, a guy from ohio that moved to miami had one in his garage, that belonged to his father, ex vice-president of american genral tire, since the father passed out they decided to sell the car. I paid only $10k for the (small amount considering only 12K miles on the car). The car is flawless, I can say this is an original very low mile, RUST FREE Trans Am. As you close the doors with working handles and hinges that don't sag you will realize it´s untouched nature. Look at that un-cut shaker hood and beautiful bird on the hood. This Trans Am is outfitted with the Pontiac T/A 6.6 automatic transmission, finished in Silver with Custom Red Velour Interior. Trans Am is a 1977 although it drives as well as a 2002, and is already a collectors item, with a high value since T/A´s were discontinued by GM. This Trans Am has a flawless interior with absolutely no details , no cracks, no tears, no rips, and never smoked inside. All gauges in perfect working condition including the clock(it works!) It has Cast Aluminum Snowflake Wheels with complete center caps, A/C that blows ice cold correctly converted by me to r134, AM/FM Cassette Stereo, T/A 6.6 engine with Auto Trans and radial tuned suspension.The original spare tire & co2 inflator are still in the trunk. .Only 200 miles on T/A bf goodrich P225/70X15 tires !, it had the original tires when I purchased the car!!! But they were out of shape since the car was storaged for so long time. Where ever I take the car I receive compliments, the most common word is the outstanding condition that makes it look like just taken out from the dealer.In addition to the documentation, and original manuals and related books still in the glove box, ocumentation that confirms 12K original miles...what else can i say?
I´M CRAZY ABOUT T/A´S AND I´LL ALWAYS BE....
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR WEB PAGE!!!

"My T/A was made in Norwood, Ohio for the Canadian market. There is only 15 000 miles on it. It has a 305 CI HO engine, automatic, it is fully equipped except AC. It is Maroon outside with Tan interior. I ordered the car without any Eagle emblem on the engine hood. This car has never been out in the winter, the last time it was out in the rain was 1981. It is undercoated and has over “100” coats of hand rubbed wax. The 4 barrel carb was used “4” times, twice in 1981, twice in 1990. I have the original Pontiac build sheet and a copy of bill of sale. The car has the original Tires, Spark Plugs, Windshield Washer fluid, it  has the original plastic covering the carpets entering the rear seat. The last time the car was driven after dark was 1981, it still has the new car smell, it is stored and covered in a heated garage. I have a log book documenting all maintenance and gas mileage plus a binder full of info. There is extensive Chrome and Stainless Steel braided hose in the engine compartment. I also have the original Pontiac brochure from which the car was ordered. Presently there is a set of Chrome Wheels on it, I have the original Stamped Steel wheels in my garage. The car is taken yearly to the local Pontiac dealer and checked out. It has been appraised as close to a 100 point car as you can get without completely restoring. It still has the original “OK” white chalk factory initial on the radiator shroud."

 "My father purchased my gold bird in 1978. Those days, it is one of a few sets imported by Japan. It was expensive shopping. The jaguar E type was presented to trade-in. It is 2002 that I yielded and received. The grade was good. There is only 22000-mile distance which was running. Four tires also come about the time of a new car. Although only a few was fixed, it is still almost original. Even free is [ T roof by the side of a passenger seat of a different portion ] black glass. Original glass has broken. When there is information on the glass for T roofs with that wonderful brightness of gold, I want you to talk to someone. It is not found in Japan.
I cannot understand English. This text was created with translation software (it is the IBM make). It is praying that my will is transmitted correctly."
This is a beautiful Gold Special Edition from Japan.

My name is Andy Kenny, I'm in Vancouver, Washington. I bought this bird a while ago. I'm in the middle of a total interior restoration then I'll start the exterior. Don't know right now if I'm going to stick with the original color (that would be the easiest) or go for a dark pearl blue. When I bought the car here are some of the modifications that came on it. I paid $2500. for the car. I knew the owner and he needed the cash and more shop space.
P.S., P.B., T-Tops Approx. 107,000 mi. Original paint in good shape. Straight body. 5000 mi. on BF Goodrich tires mounted on Centerline wheels. Factory Chev 350 engine rebuilt by previous owner. VERY strong. Edelbrock Torker 2 intake man. Edelbrock 750 CFM carb. Accel HEI Super Coil. NOS nitrous oxide, Competition Cheater System with jets for 150, 175, 200 & 200+ horsepower. Includes almost all available options… Remote bottle 200+ valve,bottle heater, bottle blanket, N2O purge solenoid. Mallory 110 GPH (electric) competition fuel pump with series 140 cartridge type filter. Aeroquip stainless steel braided fuel lines from tank to engine. Hooker headers with Super Turbo mufflers. Performance clutch w/ Hays flywheel and Lakewood bellhousing (scattersheild). Richmond Bullet Proof street 5 speed tranny w/ Hurst V Gate 2 (vertical gate) shifter. Hurst roll control (line lock).
