Default My Husbands New Toy

Well I figure he allready did enough damage to me when he got me pregnant so he went and bought himself a new toy today while I was at work. Its a 1979 Trans am numbers matching car it does need some work done to it but over all its a fairly clean car to start a restore with.

haha well he haalways wanted a bandit. Thats actually where his obession started he use to watch those movies every night before he went to bed . He said though that the more he looks at the gold he thinks he is going to keep it that color. Who really knows though by the time we get to that point he will probably have changed his mind 10 or 20 times.

The cool thing about it :::::::::RUM ROLL PLEASE::::::::: it will pretty much be my daily driver. When its rainy or just bad weather it will stay home but other than that its for me to drive!!!!!!!

yea we have seen that car. We are not big fans of it just because its to far off from original. We found a place that if you send in $50 and the vin# they send you the exact build sheet for that car and a window sticker (like you would get at the dealer). We are going to send into that and try to build it back to exactly how it was from the dealer maybe just a little more power .

If I ever had the opportunity I'd build one all black, keep the exterior and interior stock and drop in a nasty LSX motor with the 6spd. Nice little semi-sleeper.

haha see thats my thinking we have a 403 sitting in the garage right now I cant remember whats all done to it he will have to get on here and say. I want that motor in there but he keeps saying "I think it will be a little much for what we are looking to do with the car" BLAH nothing can be to much . But even though im going to get to drive it alot its his dream car so he does what he wants I guess ......but im also the wife and if I enough I will maybe get what I want .

Good thing is that the guy we bought it from owns a local tow company and he also restores old car's. He has allready given us alot of pointers and given us good leads on where to find cheap parts. Oh and a plus the car does currently run and drive well once we go buy a battery it will .

I am also interested in this answer. I would like to get one for my Silverado if they do more than just the T/A.

BTW nice find on a numbers matching car, they are getting few and far between these days.

PHS Historic Services

here is a link to the site its is only for pontiac's but I didnt look through it to see if they maybe had links to other sites for different makes. Who knows maybe you could contact them and they could tell you who else does this.
