If you want $2,000 for your car; it’s not necessary to detail your engine compartment. Asking $180,000 when the engine bay looks like you had it parked with the hood up while the neighbors dug a pool?

Trust me, it's got the right emblem on it.
There's just no way to make one of those cars look good to me. I just don't like that bloated, overstuffed look...and the tail-panel on that one is just bad, bad, bad.

Very clean. Probably spent more than 28,000.00 building it.

Yep, it has the right steering wheel emblem on it. It's a Chevy. Just because some dingbats designed a pseudo-Firebird front end and tail panel to stick on it does not change that.

Give it up already. Cripes, it's going on 10 years now...

I love that they left it a LeMans, with the flat hood, and chrome bumper.

I was thinking the same thing, I was at a local resto shop and they had a 70s C10 and the owner was selling it but had sunk 50k and wanted his money back... Tall order

Same here
I think that's what makes it even cooler versus slapping a gto front end and spoiler on it haha

I don't know pricing on Trans Ams these days, this one seems pricey but it's a good looking car. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/h...761030322.html

That might be just a little strong but it IS a nice car. Always really liked the Gold TAs.

I don't think the mods done help the value. Maybe if it was a "bone stock" survivor it would be worth that price. It is a very nice looking TA with the right options.
