Nice deal. Leather has alot of character to it. A good cleaning, some fenders, a motor and a cheapy paint job alone would make it look sweet. Those wheels alone are worth a few hundred.

To be clear... this is a GTA, right?

Fix the fender and you got yourself a real gem there. Without seeing more, it looks like there isn't a whole lot to do comestically outside of that.

Please keep us apprised of your progress!

Re: my $500 Trans Am
fix some minor rust, replace the pass. side fender, fix a couple of small dings in the drivers fender, L98 swap, a repaint. I thought about putting 85-90 ground effects on it but keep the front end I'm not sure yet.

thats what I was gonna say. You can usually find aftermarket versions on ebay for fairly cheap.

Car looks good for the price, cant wait to see it all cleaned up!

the seats are nice but the drivers seat looks like it has seen better days, you could always swap a set out of a 4th gen ta they look almost identical.

Re: my $500 Trans Am
That's a great deal! just the rims, tail lights, and spoiler together could easily bring in $500. It looks like a nice 84 T/A you have in the background there too :-)
