1978 Smokey and the Bandit Trans-Am

In my book a 'big-block' is the original Chevy Mk1V! . Like a 'small-block is the original '55-up type w/ newer Gen motors needing further specific clarification. . Chevy W-motors, Buick, Olds, Pontiac etc. are all their own unique engines as the individual Ford or Mopars are and should be identified as so. . Many refer to any B-O-P engines when unknown as big blocks, blue blocks, red-blocks, gold-blocks....here in Canada a lot of guys used to call the unknowns as 'American blocks' especially the Pontiac motors as Canadian built Pontiacs had Chevy motors and an American built model would have the Poncho motor. . Pop the hood and call it what it is as there's only one true big-block....long live the King! .

Pontiac only used one block for all the cubic inches, all the way up to the 455. There is no such thing as big and small blocks when referring to Pontiac. I guess they could be considered Uni-block.

Actually the 79 T/A was availible with a 301 "small inch" engine that weighed almost a 100 lbs less than the "large inch" L78..semantics aside big block rolls off the tounge easier and has less phallic overtones. Oh yeah,it's a big incher

same as AMC (uni-block)

The car is only at $5000 with an end of tomorrow. Good deal at this price!!!

So after 7 days and 4 emails that the buyer ignored me, he shows up this morning. Then points out some flaws that are clearly written in my auction and offers me $500 less than the winning bid or he'll pass! Can he even do this through Ebay? We argued a little and settled on $200 less than the auction bid just so I could get the car sold. Pissed me off though. What is your guy's thoughts?
