Hello Gents, Once again I have a co-worker that has approached me about buying his "car"... he called it. I'd like some honest across the board ideas of this cars value in dollars right now to gauge against his asking price. He's wanting to move the car to fund his daughters college education.
The car is a 75 400 4 speed Trans am with 33,000 actual documented miles. Absolutely original down to the air in the tires and just drop dead mint. Items replaced are anti-freeze, oil, spark plugs, oil filter, battery, tires, wheels (he kept the original honeycombs with caps and bands and they look perfect) with the original tires mounted on them, headers were added and a pioneer radio. Both the Delco radio and the exhaust manifolds were kept. He said it was an early car built and when he ordered it the 455 was not available. 455 was again available later in the year??? Could this be true too? Car has perfect untouched original paint and decals. Car is red and the interior is black deluxe. There no creases, scuffs, blemishes, etc anywhere in the car.
No power windows, no power locks, no power trunk, no defog and NO AIR CONDITIONING. Title is one owner showing titled at 7 miles. Comes with every single piece of paper from dealership, financial documents, 8 track demo tape???, warranty card, picture of the car sitting in the 4th position on the bottom of the car hauler at the dealership, 2 sets of unused keys in the gm leather key guard, and a ton of other documents. Even a response letter from engineering regarding a missing differential cover bolt. Has been covered and quilted in a heated/cooled garage since 75. driven once a year but started and allowed to idle, rev up/down for about 20 minutes every month or so. Washed and waxed yearly and looks like a mirror. Pictures will be coming in a week or so.
I know the 74-75 don't do as well as the 76's and other years but I'd figure this thing should be pretty valuable considering it's unmolested state. How many 31 year old cars can you say are original right down to the tires. Switching the manifolds and radio would be a breeze. As well as hunting the right filters and spark plugs. Your thoughts???
