EDIT: new price, and added in some information about the age of the paint and gear ratios.
1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
New Price: $26,500
Car is located in Ojai, CA (93022)
Numbers matching, resto mod Trans Am. 3,000 miles since complete engine rebuild by Kauffman (480 HP / 540 TQ), new Ridetech suspension and Wilwood brakes, and new American Powertrain 5 speed manual transmission.
A/C, sound insulation, and a 5-speed for cruising, and coilovers and 4 wheel disc brakes for canyon carving and autocross.
You can't exactly call a red T/A a sleeper, but we chose 17" Rally II replica wheels, hid the stereo, kept the stock interior and dash, and painted the motor in the original color to keep everything looking stock.
Mechanically it's a 9.5/10. I would say the body is a 7/10 (some stone chips, some of the fits aren't perfect). No rust or body issues. I've owned the car about 12 years, and I got in touch with the 2nd owner, who had painted it a couple years prior, so paint is about 14 years old. It wasn't a body-off or a glass-out paint job. The paint is pretty decent, with no real orange peal but a couple of minor flaws. The glass is just ok - some minor scratches on the door glass from warn out guides (one of the first things I replaced), and the window trim is a bit dull and spotted.
Partial build list:
Kauffman rebuilt numbers matching motor (stroked to 462, zero decked and balanced)
Kauffman D-Port heads
TKO 600 5 Speed Manual transmission from American Powertrain (ratios: 2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1:1, .64)
