Awesome. It's an easy car to fall in love with.

Congrats man!! Where'd it go?

Headed off to Bath Michigan, guy drove 2 hours to come see it, fell in love with it, said he's gonna build it up for his son, and then drove it home, I followed up with him and he said it drove great for those 2 hours home, so thats good!

The T/A has officially sold! looks like it went to a good home! now to start on my 77!

That sucks. Seems to there's more of that kind of stuff happening on Ebay lately.

[MP81]

That sucks.

And regardless of if the reasoning is real or not, that first line sounds sketchy as hell.

[Jdseibe]

Welp, sale ended and the guy backed out, lovely, now to deal with trying to get my account recredited to try and relist.

the guys response...

Hello Sir, I am glad that I won the auction for the Pontiac trans am.

Unfortunately a few days ago I suffered a stroke that disabled the right side of the body,and I can,t drive or operate any machine while on physical therapy
I am so sorry about this and when I get well and you still have the car I want to buy it.
Best Regards

Agreed, if it wasn't a 15th Anniversary it wouldn't be bringing as much. Proof that my statement was true a couple years ago when I said that investing your money into it would net a better return in the end .......it also doesn't hurt that there's two others on Ebay right now in far worse shape for not much more $$.

[Jdseibe]

I think it's going to sell.......and if I can say this without sounding like a complete pompous ass, it's selling for a significant amount more than that '82 Camaro would've ever brought. Congrats Jeremy!!

haha thanks! the bid is getting up there, Im hoping someone follows through and actually buys the car, its a good looking car with lots of potential, and I hope people can see that. the only thing thats putting the value up is that it IS a 15th anniversary, its special. I'm a little sad to let it go lol

Yes you know how I beat on that car and its STILL running strong and hard. Running a lot longer then most peoples builds on here and I drive it like it was intended. Well did drive it, hasnt left the garage once since the Rodgers show and is now again being used as a shelf for boat parts lol .

Swap it

I've thought about doing a swap, but me being me, I can't just do the minimum, if I go through all the effort to swap, I wouldn't be satisfied with doing a T5 swap, I would want to do a T56, and if I go through all that effort, I would want to do something to the engine too, probably swap in a 350, and after all that I might be at a point with where I want to be with the car, but that is just more effort than I want to do right now, basically just want a fun stickshift car that I don't have to work on right now (that's what the 77 is for haha)

I understand the desire for a manual shift car......I have the same itch. GLWS hope it goes to another good home.

every fbody I've owned has been an auto, I am ready to have a manual transmission V8, this car has been fun, just ready to move onto something that fits me a little better.

So you want another fbody with the other one still in your garage? Although a manual swap is easy and can be done, I have a manual thirdgen in the garage, how do you feel about camaro's?

lol

Yea the 77 is a long term project, at this point I kind of just want the one project, and then the other will just be something fun I can drive around in, tired of the whole 2 projects thing. ehhh, I know how you beat on that car LOL!

I think I've convinced him to stay with Pontiacs......once you go Firebird/TA you can never go back. LOL

haha! I have totally been looking at T/A's for my next car!
