The VIN appears to be the first thing listed in the ad.

2w87S5N578269

The front seats look as if they've been recovered or cleaned. The back seats don't look so great.

The engine looks to have been recently repainted while still in the car. There is over spray visible.

I'd wonder if the white paint is helping to hide any poor bodywork.

I think they've been honest with there description when they refer to it as a driver. The lower mileage is nice as long as it's legit.

I'm a fan of the '74-'76 'birds. I'd like to have one for an LS conversion at some point in the future.

Off the top of my head I believe they made approx 25K Trans Am's in 1975 and the bulk of them will be 400/TH350 combo's. BTW T-tops were first available in `76.

The fact that it is a NON numbers matching car takes away from the value and or its Rare state. Now if it was a 73-74 SD or HO matching numbers car it would be very rare and worth a small fortune.

And this.

All in all though, it looks like it would be a fun car to tinker with!
