WTB: 1970-1973 T/A or (preferably) T/A Clone
 

I'm in the market for a solid 70-73 TransAm clone. All that I really care about are the fenders and hood conversion, not looking for a full-fledged clone. I would love to find a 'project' that has a solid body/paint with no drivetrain, but certainly will consider complete/driving cars as well. First color choice would be red, but others considered. The less body and interior work required, the more interesting it will be to me. :)

And of course, I would consider a real T/A, but I expect those would mostly be out of the price range I would like. But then again, a solid non-matching numbers car could be good for me, and I have seen a few sell on eBay over the last few months that would have worked well.

I've found a car that is exactly what I'd like, but the dealer selling it is just too pricey (looking for T/A price for a non-T/A or Formula car). :( So I thought I would reach out to a larger audience.

Thanx for any leads! :beerchug:

I found this looking on the net (Not Mine). The car isn't painted, but it has the parts you were looking for and you can't beat the price

Well, I wasn't the one that posted that I wanted this car but thanks for pointing it out. I bought it. I am posting in the tech section about the progress. Thanks for the heads up!

Congrats on the purchase.. Looking forward to the updates!

Not mine, I just saw the ad and thought I would pass it along.

TTT... Still haven't found quite the right one yet! Thanx! :)

Once again, TTT...

i have a 70-73 t/a clone, it runs and drive just fine, used to be my daily driver, stills has the factory exhaust under it still, totally stock engine, the a/c works but needs a compressor, it has gotten noisy, let me know if you like some info on it

i have a gorgeous 72 TA clone w/ a 455HO top end for sale.
pm me if interested in a done car.

I have a 1970 Pro-touring TA being built out currently.... We're playing with power train and trans options right now but the rest of the build is as follows:

- Carbon Fiber front end
- Carbon Fiber inner fenders
- Carbon Fiber Cowl
- Stock sub-frame (smoothed), under-carriage, firewall and rad support all painted satin Finish Gray to co-ordinate with the inner fenders
- Ride Tech Strong arms (After market A arms)
- Ride Tech's new triple Coil-overs
- Ride Tech 4 Link
- Rushford Live Wire rims and tires to be selected
- Custom exhaust and custom made mufflers Jet coated and hand built by Scott Mock
- Wilwood brake system (6 piston up front and 4 out back)
- Burgundy deluxe 70 low back seats/interior (may alter to custom covered 505
Sparco's)

The power train will either be:
- Ls-1 (fresh build) with 6 speed
or
- 400 stroked to 461 with a Keisler RS600 5 speed

Make me an offer if it sounds like something you'd like???

Sample of a seventy-one we just finished to look more stock,,, notice the Carbon in the hood stripe,,, it's really a Carbon hood not a decal... So is the rest of the front end panels:
