Default WTB: 1970-1973 T/A or (preferably) T/A Clone

I'm in the market for a solid 70-73 TransAm clone. All that I really care about are the fenders and hood conversion, not looking for a full-fledged clone. I would love to find a 'project' that has a solid body/paint with no drivetrain, but certainly will consider complete/driving cars as well. First color choice would be red, but others considered. The less body and interior work required, the more interesting it will be to me.

And of course, I would consider a real T/A, but I expect those would mostly be out of the price range I would like. But then again, a solid non-matching numbers car could be good for me, and I have seen a few sell on eBay over the last few months that would have worked well.

I've found a car that is exactly what I'd like, but the dealer selling it is just too pricey (looking for T/A price for a non-T/A or Formula car). So I thought I would reach out to a larger audience.

Thanx for any leads!

I found this looking on the net (Not Mine). The car isn't painted, but it has the parts you were looking for and you can't beat the price

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2432028212.html

1972 Pontiac Firebird Esprit, Trans Am CLONE. Vin #2T87M2N. Current engine is a YD 400 with # 16 heads. TH350 3 speed automatic transmission. Decent seats. Wire harness was updated to take full gauges. Harness, cluster and dash need to be reinstalled. Quarter panels have some rust and filler. Rest of the car is very solid. Rally II wheels with good tires. Perfect start for a Restomod or Pro touring car. Clear Colorado title. $3300 Firm. Call Mike at nine seven zero - 361-4520.

I have a 1970 Pro-touring TA being built out currently.... We're playing with power train and trans options right now but the rest of the build is as follows:

- Carbon Fiber front end
- Carbon Fiber inner fenders
- Carbon Fiber Cowl
- Stock sub-frame (smoothed), under-carriage, firewall and rad support all painted satin Finish Gray to co-ordinate with the inner fenders
- Ride Tech Strong arms (After market A arms)
- Ride Tech's new triple Coil-overs
- Ride Tech 4 Link
- Rushford Live Wire rims and tires to be selected
- Custom exhaust and custom made mufflers Jet coated and hand built by Scott Mock
- Wilwood brake system (6 piston up front and 4 out back)
- Burgundy deluxe 70 low back seats/interior (may alter to custom covered 505
Sparco's)

The power train will either be:
- Ls-1 (fresh build) with 6 speed
or
- 400 stroked to 461 with a Keisler RS600 5 speed

Make me an offer if it sounds like something you'd like???

Sample of a seventy-one we just finished to look more stock,,, notice the Carbon in the hood stripe,,, it's really a Carbon hood not a decal... So is the rest of the front end panels:
