Went for $3,350.00..?? Wow, am I missing something here? Restoration cost alone would be double it's worth easy.....

It does seem a bit high, but donor parts for these cars are easy to find. While the old Firebird book I have lists it as a 4 star out of five, there were 5683 10th anniversary T/A's made with an automatic in 79.

There's much debate on what drives a car's worth, but there are a group of people who who lived in the 80's that a 70-81 Trans Am are what they want and takes them back to the glory days. How many people do you know that didn't have a Trans AM or knew someone who did? Worth noting is the 75-81 Mopars and Mustangs were ugly and gutless. At least the Trans Am's were pretty. I've heard the black Bandit T/A's are hot right now.

I think the car sold for about what it's worth considering the drivetrain is there.
