The blue 77/78 in the right lane ran a 12.12? He came out like he was shot from a cannon!

Talk about the lowballers ! lol
My 79 TA 4spd 6.6 WS6 hardtop was 2 options shy of fully loaded - with 2 window stickers. Still was only around 10k and change.

What was sticker price for this one ?

Great looking groovy car Boss. Love them 79 4spd WS6 cars !
Every 79 i've dealt with had buildsheet in rear seat springs or under rear seat - if you wanna grab it out quick and easy to get axle ratio.

Thanks guys.

MSRP of $8,190.55 & I'm going to have to go out & pop those seats later today now that it's likely to be under them.

I'm flabbergasted it wasn't in back seat vicinities.
Sorry about that Boss.
You did take the upper cushion out too right ?

One of the goofiest was a 79 403 TA Auto A/C ... 2.41 axle.

BINGO & Bonus!!!

Pulled it a few minutes ago, not only was it where you said (or most of it) but there was also a piece of plastic under the sound deadener material that when I pulled it out contained an NOS glove box cylinder!!!
