This is another post to let the group know that the Trim tag & screws are correct on this car. If anyone would take the time to research something before jumping to conclusions, you would see that there are a lot of 78 TAs, even 77 TAs that used the same style of screws, and the Y88 designation was only there if the guy working at the GM plant that day, remember to stamp it in the tag.
PHS docs are included with this car. As it was a california car we bought last summer from the last owner of 15 years. It still had the original paint and decals on the car.
All the stripping, and emblems for a true Y88 TA. I have all the pics and info to prove and show anything anyone would want to see.
This car came out absolutely beautiful. We decided to keep it gold and restore it back to as close to factory as possible, even though it didnt have the original 400 motor in it. It actually has a 72 GTO 400 motor, which was stated in the first paragraph of the auction.
When we finished this car last summer, I got a call from one of the Pontiac National Judges out of GA. He is a lawyer that actually has this exact car with 9k for original miles on it. He was so impressed with how correct we were able to get the variations of gold in all the different areas of the car. He said that our car next to his would make his car look like it need to be restored. The amount of flaws that are apparent in any TA from the factory are incredible. They built cars to sell, not to show!
Thanks
