It will get a full restortaion 1 floor is rotten due to leaky t-tops.

Its a 400 4spd.

Well it looks like you've got some work ahead of you. Was a nice car like you said, and I'm sure it will be again, with some certain amount of work of course. Good luck. Love the shaker!

 

Nice! I've always loved that car. That a '77 or '78?

 

sweet car man...build that 400 up huge. 4 speed second gens are awesome. it isnt for sale is it?

 

Its a 78 , nope not for sale I have had it too long it was always my childhood dream car anything else was just transportation

it will run 12s in street trim when im done with it.

 

Ah nice nice!

I almost had a '78 T/A cept this one was silver. Had the same engine and trans, just silver with red interior. Would have been awesome...

 

I've owned a '77 SE TA and an '80 SE TA. They're great road cars. I've never even seen a '76+ with a 4 speed. They didn't make many of them and even less of them crossed the border. Cool car

 

I like the brushed swirls in the aluminum gauge plate.
Kind of hard to see in your pictures, but I remember seeing a few up close.
4-speed, NIIICE. Have fun.

 

Oh man those T/As were NICE. Back in the 70s I had a friend (may he RIP) who had a '76 (which was stolen) and then a '78 (to replace the '76).

The '78 was a 400 4-speed I loved that car man the dash was simply TOO COOL. I loved driving that car. He mod'd the 400 after which it really ripped.

Question -- do you think the 2nd gens were under-rated for performance and handling ?

RP.

 

the handleing is good for the age yeah they were underrated in the hp field the SE got the 220hp 400 , base t/as got the 180hp.


For anyone who is interested theres a guy selling a black and gold 76' t/a with a factory 400 4spd for $1500obo solid car too
