Default Can't stand it any longer, have to tell you guys whats's coming home tomorrow!!

'73 Trans Am 455 SD, auto and a/c. This is a #s matching car. The owner had put headers on, aftermarket intake& carb, Hurst dual gate shifter, but still has all the original parts that came off of it, including a real nice build sheet. I have known this car since '82 and have been after this car for 15 years. It has 66k original miles and all original panels. Last Friday the owner called me and said he needed to sell it to pay some bills off. It's been sitting in this garage for the past 12 years. I went over and looked at it and we made a deal today. This will not be a Pro-tour build. I plan on restoring it back to factory original. I do have to lower it just a little because they sat so high from the factory. I won't be able to sleep tonight until it's with me tomorrow. This is my dream Trans Am.. I will post some pictures up after I pick it up.

SW

Congrats man! You've had quite a few nice early birds, and this one I'm sure will be at least up to par!

Keep us posted!
