Default 77 trans am yard find

It was on a front lawn a couple of streets away from my house covered in tree sap and dirt. 77 trans am. I should have taken a picture of it then it was nasty. I check the rockers, mileage 83,000, frame, trunk and pulled carpet. The guy who owned it paid 10,000 last year in Florida drove it a total of 28 miles. He needed cash so he took 3,000. Later I found out from someone he took money from his grandmother and was forced to sell it to pay her back. It is an original 6.6 the only thing not original is the intake and carburetor. It cost 26.00 to add it to the camaro policy and 758.00 to register those are some screwed up numbers the lowest book is 10,500 but it can’t be worth that. My wife likes it so she going to keep it. Not often I run into a good deal so I had to post it.

That is SO COOL! And the fact that it's non T-Top makes it that much cooler. Incredible find! As soon as I post this, I'm just going to go right back to the top of the page and look at those photos! What a score!!

How many times have you watched Smokey and the Bandit since you bought it? If I owned that thing, I think I would only talk in CB speak or Burt Reynolds quotes the entire time I was driving it.
