1976 Trans Am 455 / 4spd "barn Find" on 2040-cars

Im offering up one of the jewels of my personal stash! this is a complete, NEVER wrecked, NEVER blown, NEVER molested 1976 Trans Am 455/4spd car. It has only had the OEM radio and the A/C compressor removed. The a/c lines were not damaged and remain intact. It  DOES RUN and DRIVE! This car was discovered in a local mans basement a couple years ago by a buddy of mine, where it had been setting since july of 1995! This is an original all OEM 455 car. The car needs and is certainly worthy of a ground up restoration. Everytime I drive this car I catch myself looking in the glove box for my Eagles 8-track! It runs, drives, and feels like a Trans Am should, tight and quick! The engine has been massaged and has a nice torquey sound and feel.

THE BODY - Suffers from the all too typical rust as most T/As do, However its effects are limited to the qtr panels and the floor pan.  THERE IS NO RUST OUT! In the drain trays, trunk floor, cowl panel, or sub rails! The RT Qtr will require full replacement, the LFT Qtr needs the panel behind the wheel opening. a small area in the pass front floor and the toe bd on the drivers floor. The car has never had a repaint. There are new replacements for the missing fender foilers included

THE INTERIOR -  Shows typical wear for a T/A of these yrs. there are no components missing. Most of the interior is tired, however the steering wheel/column are in good condition, the upper door panels are nice, the lowers are salvageable as well. the console is nice and its solid. The headliner and sail panels are most likely canidates for replacement as well. the dash is crack free. The OEM radio is missing but all other components are intact. A new carpet kit is included.

THE ENGINE - Is smooth and powerful. It appears to have been rebuilt or @ least warmed over. It has what feels and  sounds like a Ram Air III cam, headers and new dual exhaust. The tranny is the correct muncie with OEM shifter. The clutch is toast and needs replaced. Not having to rebuilding the engine saves a boatload of cash on the restoration. The A/C pump has been removed, but the lines have been covered to protect em.

 Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN.
