So the original engine was a w72 (t/a 6.6) and now it has the 180hp lemans... Kind of weird to say it was done by the dealer.

Do you guys think this car will be a lemon, nice on the outside rotten on the inside? The interior work looks nice, the fiberglass rust repair concerns me too trev.


I'm not sure if I want a formula or a Trans Am, the only advantage the formula has over the trans am is an easy conversion from petrol to LPG (liquified petrol Gas, a butane/propane mixture I believe). Because petrol costs about $5.5 dollar here in the Netherlands it would be a wise descision to convert it to LPG, wich is $2/gallon. I dont feel like butchering up/glueing a good quality trans-am shaker for this sake (the set up looks like a supercharger set up. . Then again, it would be my car, so it's my descision.


I think i'll look further for a nice 77/78 (w72) trans-am, preferably black or blue. ANYONE!!? It's the rust that concerns me in these car's, plus the fact that i'll be buying it overseas. So I would prefer to do buisiness with a regular on this board, someone well known and trustworthy. I don't like the whole ebay anonymity.

Ca ayoe give me a indication what this formula would be worth (5000-7000$?), or a semi-restored 77/78 TA?
