The front looks like it has a huge wave in it. Almost looks like its photoshopped. That thing has been busted! Shame....

I quote him on his "WOW!" And if I may add, thats a dirty pic to put on the internet. For 1500 bucks I know someone who would buy it right now. I think the bid is going to go up.

Theres one at the local pontiac dealer in MINT condition for 12k they say. It has 32k miles on it, and its in immaculate shape, but 12,000 dollars for one its a TAAAD steep I think.

Damn, that car's been rear ended, hit something on the front, and has a salvaged title. Yeah, anybody can sell a rare vintage peice of sh*t, but anybody can tell this thing is more trouble than good.

Is that thing even fixable? Ouch. Seriously i wonder if teh rear could really be straightened. Its seriously doing the rear squat work. How's that for Downforce?! Man they don't even give you a decent shot of the seats. That thing is ragged out! Breaks your heart!

Looks like a project anniversarry Trans Am to me. I would buy it, well, parts of it. Looks like it will be troublesome and costly to bring back to its glory days.

It can be fixed, but I think the car should be parted out. Not enough market interest for a restored,103,000 mile, '84 Anniversary T/A.
