Have been watching '77-79 T/A 6.6 pricing for over 25 years. Have a heavy loaded '79 W72 4spd project, Sundance yellow/black hobanail, easy restore. Mothballed it in the mid 90's, in mean time picked up quite a few nos pieces for it. Have had the chance to "restore it" 3 times for customers, changing color to Starlight Black & adding SE striping. Not at all in interested in going the Clown car route, & turned each offer down.
Over the years, Sundance & Mayan Red have caught my attention as most likely lowest production bright colors ordered on '79 TransAms. Well preserved originals & nicely restored examples should bring more, it all takes the right presentation. Changing the color combo on '75 up 2nd Gens, it all comes down what the T/A originally was ordered as. If a '78 W72 auto, i would be much more inclined to restore original colors, even pick up an X7 block & build up from there. base 180 horse auto, Pontiac built so many of em, I would not go crazy throwing a ton of $$$$ at such a car, going to be buried in it.
