Here's a few.Can take more if you like.Interior is in good shape.As you can see there is no heater control,prev.owner took all heating components out.
Grant removable steering wheel is installed but I have the stock wheel which is in very good shape.

Is the car a Firebird made into a TA or a real TA per the VIN? I ask because of the interior color set.

Thanks. Does the data plate list an interior trim code? I'm very surprised Green would have been available on a TA. I am interested in the car, just working out the particulars.

What is the color code on the trim tag. It will tell what the original color of the car is.

The car is sharp. Never seen one in green like that. Kind of cool. The gold was a great color too. Is it reliable? Need anything to cruise it around? Is it one of those "I'd drive it anywhere" type cars.

It runs like a champ.engine and trans are brand new.as is mostly everything else under the hood. Yea, I'd drive it anywhere.Only thing it lacks is A/C and heat.
