There was one for sale on ebay about two months ago that only had 300 some miles on it. I don't think it sold, it was listed a couple of times, got up to the mid 30's but never reached its reserve.

It shouldn't be too hard to clean up today. I found that Gunk has a heavy duty gel based engine degreaser that works great on the Rusty Jones junk that this car has. My car had the bees wax based undercoating and this Gunk stuff worked really well.

Re: 1989 Trans-Am pace car 500 original miles.

Here's a pic of my undercarriage after using the Gunk. I jacked the car up, sprayed, let it sit 10 minutes and started pressure washing it off. I had to wipe off any remaining film with some Simple Green. My entire undercarriage was coated in thick beeswax and was brownish yellow. The first picture will show what the driver's side looked like before I started and then the finished product!
