1978 Trans-Am F/S Black and Gold

I just bought this car and restored it. The car is set up like an SE car with black paint gold exterior accents and black interior. The car has 103,000 miles if I remember right. It came with factory A/C, power windows and custom interior.

The car was purchased with a crank problem. I pulled the engine and replaced the damaged crank. I put in fresh bearings and new gaskets in the engine except head gaskets since everything else looked good. I then detailed the engine bay and replaced the numbers matching 400. The car comes with factory A/C and has most all of the A/C components there. The car will be ready next week. The car was just painted two days ago and is still in the wet sanding and polishing stage. The only thing I didn't like about the body is the aftermarket front fender flares. They don't fit like they should but being a black car you really don't notice.

Just about every part that I could fit in my sand blast cabinet was sand blasted and repainted. These parts were things like the brackets, hood hinges, core support brackets, etc.

The car has a huge number of <font color="red">NEW</font> parts including;
