Brief list of what has been done to the car and the price of the parts not including labor. All Parts are new with receipts:
dumPontiac 400/410hpdum$3500, 400 Trans w/shift kit and 2800 Stahldum$1800,Wiring Harnessdum$600, 800 Edelbrock Carb/Intakedum$350, 750 CA Batterydum$80, Fuel Pump and lines $350,dumMallory Distributor $300, Blaster Coil $60, Plug Wiresdum$60,dumK/N Air filterdum$60, Cross Drilled Rotors and New Brake Pads $250, Rear Brakesdum$70, Headersdum$250, Deep Oil Pandum$200, Fan Beltsdum$50, 19" Fandum$50, Alternator $75, Chrome Valve Coversdum$80, High Torque Mini Starterdum$250, Drag Radials $350, Front Radials $150 Front & Rear Shocks $200, Flowmaster Exhaust $600 etc.........................It is a very nice car that has less then 300 miles on the parts listed above, I have yet to really get on the car because everything is still fresh and needs to be broken in, the body is nice and the interior is okay I would say 7 out of 10. I was building the car to be a very powerful street/track car but yet reliable. It runs and stops very nice.I need something that can be driven daily. If interest let me know I will try to send pics. U with 98 t/a its me with 00 formula from Belvidere....

Thank you for posting my pics of my 78 T/A. I'm asking $10,500 OBO, I have a lot more money into the car but I bought a 00 formula and need the money to help offset the price of the car I bought. I drove the car the other day for about 15 miles and it run great just rides rough, don't know why with the new suspension. Call me at 630-220-2122 so we can talk and again thank you very much for posting my pics, how did you do it? J

My feelings exactly. I mean, unless its a completely original numbers matching low mile car, its going to be hard to get that out of her. I sold my 78 camaro, rust free california car, with a stroker motor and all the reciepts for around 4ish. But it needed interior and some minor cosmetics on the body.

Guys all I said was $10,500 OBO , I have over $14,000 into the car and would like to get some of the money back, I've seen them on ebay from 5k to 20k so I just put the car in between the ranges. I will listen to all offers. J

i am not acting like a know it all....but 3 years ago a close friend of mine and i went in and bought 13 1970-1979 t/a's to sell at the kruse auction....out of 13 we sold 11 at the sale and 2 after the sale....these were "nice" true cars....anniversary units, bandits, ram air III and IV's....t-top car and hard tops....all the right decals and emblems and rims...so i do know a little about 2 gen's....you are sitting on a 5k car...6k at best....thats if the interior is standing tall...and the rear tail of the frame is solid....(they are known to rust badly and bend...thats why so many people put air shocks to counter act the sagging...just a suggestion if you wanna turn the car...
