he is talking about this one, I have seen it on ebay before..
'http://www.vanguardmotorsales.com/cardetails.asp?VIN=2W87K9N127604'

there are lil things I dont like those fake snowflakes, that thing needs its original wheels. the crap radio and stupid speakers on the console got to go, i bet the console has holes where the speakers are.

the paint doesnt look original, the interior though besides the radio looks untouched same as the engine.

To me thats a 7 grand car.

This car started it's life in Toledo.

That's why the rust is almost completely finished eating through the spot beside the tag in picture # 35.

Take it from a Canadian - buy a southern car and pay the freight. Cars that live in salt spray are JUNK.

Cut consoles and finding original wheels are easy fixes. Rust is not. Rust is only repairable at GREAT expense. If you are working on something special, it's worth it. Like a 73 SD455 or an 89 Turbo.

The only 79 T/A worth buying in my opinion is a WS6 that had the Pontiac 400 with a 4 speed. The car you are looking has the 403 in it, not very collectible.
