79 trans am for sale.

[bottledbird68]

Posting this up for my father.
Car is a 79 trans am. Has an olds 455 with a cam, aluminum intake, headers, 750 cfm demon carb and 70 olds w30 heads. Motor made a little noise but has for as long as its been in the car and was driven daily with ok oil pressure.
Has a turbo 350 trans that was rebuilt probably less than 10k miles ago.
Rear end is a 10 bolt posi that was rebuilt with 3.73's sane time the trans was done.
Interior is fair but all there. Was blue he dyed it black with interior spray dye and put seat covers on the seats he put in.
Body is not spectacular. Will need paint. A tree fell on it in the ice storm a couple years back and did a fair amount of damage. He repaired the roof but it's only in primer. Also needs a drivers side t top. He made a metal one to fill in the hole though that seals and believe it or not doesnt leak. There's a dent in the top of the drivers fender and the hood. Some rust in the trunk lid but comes with another trunk lid. Floors are ok. Rear rails/tail pan will need some attention.
Car is currently viper red. Has snowflake wheels with good tires on them.
Car was a driver until the tree took it out. Been sitting since then. Needs a brake line and battery now but could be driven after that if you want to drive it while you work on it.
Asking $1,950 obo. Cash talks.
Like I said, it's my fathers but I can answer posts, emails, or texts. My number is 508-410-8078.
If you want to call and talk call him at 508-353-1918. Don't text him. He won't answer texts.

Would he want to keep the engine and sell it as a roller?

[bottledbird68]

Guess that all depends on how much you're offering. He's getting older and has zero time or energy to play with cars anymore so keeping the motor would do him no good.

[bottledbird68]

I'd wind up pulling it and sitting on the motor myself for who knows how long lol. But I guess if the price is right.

Your Dad has a nice car Matt! It must be a family trait with F-Bodies...LOL.

I am guessing that the pics were taken before the tree fell on it, correct?

[bottledbird68]

David, it used to be one of mine. I sold it to him lol.
He's had it for years now. I think he bought it in 98.
The pics are current. Took them today. He was a bodyman by trade so he fixed the roof to make the car sellable.

[bottledbird68]

But trust me, pics make it look nicer than it is. It has it's issues and to be nice will need to be gone through. Or, clean up a few areas and have a fun beater.

Yes he does and yes they could.

Trust me, if I didn't already have so much on my plate I'd keep it in the family but I need another project like I need a hole in the head lol.

HA HA HA.....

I have the same problem. The same thing happens every time.

I get a new project, become obsessed with it, spend time from 8 pm to midnight working on it, wife gets angry , I send it out, they undo everything I did, eventually I am happy with the car. Then repeat.
