Default Yes I did, another Trans Am

Well, this it it for a while. I have been after this car for 4 years and tracked the owner down. I have been working on him for 2 weeks to sell me this car and finally broke him down. I didn't think he was going to sell it, but out of the blue, monday night he texted me saying he would sell me the car. Had it picked up on thursday am and it was delivered today. I love it. It's a '72 white/blue stripe, black deluxe interior, 4 speed, power windows, a/c, deluxe trim package. It had a frame off done in 2009 with the exception of painting the undercarriage since it still has it's original red oxide still showing. All original body panels (Las Vegas NV car). The original motor was rebuilt by Butler Performance, everything looks stock but the heads were ported, intake port matched, forged pistons ect. Sounds great, runs strong. Tomorrow I'm starting my tweaks on it. The car is so original, I'm not going to do much. QA 1 coilovers up front, DSE springs rear, 17" Honeycombs, install new A/C compressor (134 system), new power window motors, clear bra on the lower sides, detail engine bolts here& there. It's been sitting for the past 4 years so it just needs some detailing.

Nice addition to the fleet SW. Um I think you may want to fix that muffler clamp turned sideways showing in that picture

Now that's a proper Trans Am!

Identical to the first one I rode in when I was 14 in '72.
