I'd give him $25.00 for it. Surely the scrap metal would bring more than that. I'm constantly amazed at just how horribly a car can be modified. If this was some sort of kit you could buy, this must have been the only one sold...

How great would it be to show up a cruise night with that thing! I can just see the guys rolling on the ground........might even be worth the money to see the reactions of people!!

This is a 1983 Pontiac Firebird TransAm with a custom fiberglass body kit built on it. It has a 305 5.0 engine and 4 speed overdrive automatic tranny, four wheel disc brakes and posi rear. It runs good and has a manual fuel pump and needs a gas tank or fuel cell if prefered. Could use a tune up. The paint is good but the clear coat has flakes and scuffing and the body has some cracks as shown but it can easily be restored. The hard top is removeable. It has a set of new American Racing TrueSpoke wheels mounted with new Supreme Sigma P235 x R60 x 14" tires. Asking $2500.00 or Best Offer and will also talk trade or partial trade and cash. This is being sold with a Bill of Sale only. Feel free to call Bill at (845) ••• •••• or my cell (845) ••• •••• or email with any questions. WOULD BE WILLING TO TRADE OR PARTIAL TRADE FOR A GOOD RUNNING 4X4 AUTOMATIC PICK UP. DO NOT CONTACT ME WITH ANY NEGATIVE OR WISE ASS COMMENTS. IF YOUR BORED OR DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A LIFE THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.

IIRC - this is the 2nd time this "creation" has been blessed by being posted here on the "EPIC" thread. The "Hudson Valley" CL was same area of posting...Last time was approx. 1 to 2 yrs ago.

Can't believe the Gas Monkey's haven't "discovered" this one yet too!

Uh, yea, I think I know that guy five or six times over - Got no money, no skill, and wants you to do the work. Go ahead and try to get him to help with your stuff after - see what happens.

Yep, it was. The car started out as a creampuff. Now it's a double creampuff.........
