 This is my 1979 Trans Am that I have owned for 3 years. I hate to sell but I have obligations that are forcing me to do so. I bought this car on Ebay 3 years ago and it was misrepresented as an all original 23000 mile car. That was not true and the buyer left out every thing wrong with this car out of the description. He ended up giving me $500 back to me to keep me from calling him about everything I found wrong with it. I could not get it off the trailer when it arrived because it would not run long enough to get it off. needless to say I got frustrated at how people take advantage of others with their dishonesty so i am going to describe every problem I know with this car. Let me begin with the positives. This is a very nice 79 Trans Am. The paint is very, very good. It has a small scratch in the front driver corner where I hit my shop heater and there is a picture of that. There are a few little nicks and light scratches but you have to hunt for them. The decals are pretty good but a little loose in some of the letter corners( a little glue will fix). This car looks like it has gone through a complete restoration inside and out and looks the part. I entered it into 1 car show and got Top 100 trophy with 256 cars entered and I included a picture of the trophy. It was a very big and quality car show in Southern Kentucky so it will attest to the looks of this car. When i got the car the first thing I did was made it road worthy and safe. I replaced the carburetor with a rebuilt numbers matching carb, replaced the master cylinder and all of the calipers. I had a new exhaust run with Flomaster knockoffs and it resonates and sounds great. We pulled the tranny pan to check it out and threw in a B & M trans pak while we were there, replaced the shifter grommet but the tail shaft has a leaking seal. I installed new KYB shocks all the way around. The car was undercoated all underneath it and the gas tank too. The hood cable was broken so I put a new one on and mounted it correctly. The motor was clean and detailed when I got it and had #7 cylinder heads from a 350 Oldsmobile on it so someone knew what they were doing but it does have a little lifter pecking but does not smoke a drop. It drives very good, especially on the interstate and actually gets pretty good fuel mileage. I get people taking pictures of it going down the road and people will yell at me at stop lights how nice the car is. Now to the issues that need to be completed. Up until the day i took these pictures, the windows worked great, but today the drivers window would not go down. I can here the relay pull in for going up but not down. It may be a relay or the switch. The front signals stopped working but the back ones do. The low beams don't work but the High beams do. The interior lights work but not the dome when the door opens. The dash lights work but the radio is not original and does not function. The power trunk release does not work and the auto door locks don't work. The interior seat covers and door panels look to have been replaced new and the interior pieces dyed to the right colors, The carpet was replaced but not with the correct shag carpet that was OEM for the 10th anniversary. The air conditioner does not work. I have the PHS documentation for this car and it will be included. The dash has 1 crack on the top. The tachometer acts a little wiggy. Overall this is a very nice T/A that will turn heads all day long and with a little time and the right person all the little problems can be fixed rather cheaply. I have 2 kids that prevent me from having the time to take care of these issues. The T-tops are in good shape and are the correct mirrored tops with storage bags in the trunk. The door seals look to be new also. E-mail me with any questions and I will be glad to answer with the best of my knowledge. I have set the reserve well below what I have invested in this car, but I have to liquidate all of my unnecessary toys to get a down payment for a house. I also hate the dishonest people who sell cars on ebay so i try to describe the car honestly.  I have 100% feedback and plan on keeping it that way. Good luck bidding.
