Jim, thank you for your kind words.
This car was originally purchased in Addison Texas in late June of 1977 by my father. He ordered a 77 Z28 from a dealer in Carrollton Texas, but when it didnt come in after 6 weeks he got his money back and went to the Pontiac dealer less than five miles where I still live and told them he wanted a white 4 speed TA with no hood bird and no t tops. They had this car in stock and Dad bought it on the spot. In 1986 Dad bought a Buick Grand National, so he sold the TA to my high school best friend who had it for 3 years until it got rear ended, so he sold it to some guy in Tennessee. I had been trying to find the car and buy it back since the late 90's but had no luck until 2023 when I hired a PI and he found the car in eastern Tennessee. I bought it back and am doing a concours resto on it myself with the goal of unveiling it at this years MCACN show. It has needed pretty much everything but it still had some identifying marks on it from when my Dad owned it. It is actually a pretty rare car - W72, loaded with every option possible except block heater, rear console, t tops, and hood bird. Is white with white interior with Buckskin appointments. Most difficult part to have had to find has been the decklid mount factory CB radio antenna.
