Greetings all,
I have a 1978 gold SE (Y-88) with T-tops. It has the original 400 Pontiac motor w/an automatic trans. I am the 3rd owner of this car, which I purchased approximately 2 years ago. The previous owner repainted the car, but it's still gold (just a little more brilliant than the original gold which had a slight olive tint to it). The day I picked it up, the car smelled of fresh paint (MMMMMMMMMM...)!! It wears all the correct decals and the black pin-stripes (all new)!!! No rust that I can find, but the previous owner had it undercoated (yeah... I know :-( I only drive it in the summer on nice days, about 1000 miles a year. Don't get me wrong, it's no show car (yet anyway) and has a few flaws here and there. But for $5500, I thought it was a decent deal!!

The interior is in excellent shape for the age, no rips or tears... just a little sun faded. My big delima is in regards to rebuilding the engine. I don't know if I should go with the stock rebuild or beef her up a little (I'd like to see about 400 HP). Sorry I got so wordy, I could talk about this car for a long time.... Just ask my girlfriend (I think she get's a little jealous).

It's nice to see so many of you fellow T/A owners out there. Now when I post a question, I'll expect alot of answers [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] !!!!!!!

Take care people,
dyingbreed.
