Default 1979 T/A S.E. 400/4 speed

Due to an Obama economy, I am offering my '79 t/a for sale.
Original Y84 W72/L78 400 4 speed car with documentation from Don Gay Pontiac.
I bought this car in 1989 from the original owner. The car has been garaged it's entire existance so the car retains original sheetmetal and is rust-free.
Currently sporting a 474 stroker engine with SD Performance ported aluminum heads, custom grind roller cam, stainless roller rockers, Butler rotating assembly.....and all kinds of other good stuff.
The original engine was removed 15 years ago and has been stored in the corner of my garage. With 100K miles, it will need a rebuild. The original Q-jet is excellent and has been carefully stored.
The A/C was removed with all parts and pieces stored for future re-installation.
I have everything to transform it to it's original condition.

I'll let the pics do the talking. Email with questions at wfotech@comcast.net


Price is $28,000

Damn, Larry I sure hate to see this ad. Sure hope you can find a way to hang on to it.

That being said, to all interested, this is a seriously nice car and well worth the price.

Is the car otherwise stock except for the engine? Or are there other modifications to the brakes, suspension, clutch, etc?

Larry, you have not answered to the last emails i sent you. Maybe they end up in your spamfilter? I have made up my mind and i am willing to pay your price. So if you still want to sell contact me.

Regards
Thomas
