INTRODUCTION: Frame off restored restored, finished in the iconic Bandit style. Starting with a clean California car and ending with a show quality car that performs like new!
EXTERIOR: I'm not kidding, this is one of the best black paint jobs I've seen on a Bandit style Trans Am I've had. The finish is literally like a mirror! This is one of the most iconic and desirable combinations ever offered: starlight black with all the gold Bandit trim. It has an amazingly clean California body that's laser beam straight, with no apparent rust or damage. The black paint has been polished to an incredible, mirror like reflection. All the gold striping and the bird on the hood are fresh and really pop against the deep black finish. The windshield is crystal clear. All the weatherstrips and seals were replaced, and the front and rear rubber bumpers are in excellent shape. The fit, finish, and overall presentation are exceptional. This is one stunning Trans Am!
INTERIOR: The interior has been beautifully restored! The seats were rebuilt with fresh cushions and upholstery, and the door panels were replaced. Fresh carpet is topped with embroidered floor mats. The dash features a full set of Rally gauges set in the iconic machine turned instrument panel. A new reproduction Formula steering wheel with gold spokes looks fantastic and is mounted on a tilt column. The center console is in excellent shape. It retains a factory AM/FM radio with a pair of 6x9 speakers in back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: You can tell this engine compartment was completely disassembled and restored. It features a rebuilt Pontiac 400 motor with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and upgraded MSD ignition system. The engine is painted Pontiac blue for a factory appearance. On top is the iconic shaker hood assembly, which has not been cut up and retains its original style snorkel tubing. Many components look new, including the alternator, cadmium plated brake booster, master cylinder, and belts. It features power steering and factory air conditioning that blows cold, with a replaced compressor. The radiator looks new, complete with the proper fan shroud and overflow bottle. Everything is clean, properly installed, and neatly painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, it's painted glossy black with replaced weatherstripping. Inside, the metal is absolutely bone dry, rust-free, and exceptionally clean. It even retains the factory spatter paint on the inside of the quarter panels, a strong indication they are original.
UNDERSIDE: The first thing that impressed me was how exceptionally clean and dry the metal is. The floors, frame rails, braces, and suspension components are as dry as a chalkboard! Not even the typical surface pitting. It's all smooth, clean, rust-free metal. The underside appears to have been completely restored, body off frame with every component removed restored. All the steering and suspension components have been rebuilt, and the car handles like new. The brake system was redone with front disc brakes and replaced lines. It has a fresh true dual exhaust system exiting through the iconic Trans Am splitter tips. The fuel tank and lines were replaced. Looking up at the motor, it's spotless and features a chrome oil pan and high torque starter. The Turbo 350 automatic transmission has a chrome pan, and the driveshaft was rebuilt. Out back is a 3.23 posi rear end. An exceptionally clean, detailed underside that looks as good as it performs!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.
CONCLUSION: These Trans Ams have always been popular, especially lately! I've seen more than a few bring over $200,000. This is a stunning example with exceptional looks and quality throughout. The next owner should be genuinely excited and proud to own it!
