Sold Pontiac T/A

Although I know this is an Olds site, here are some photos of a '75 Pontiac Trans Am that I restored and have sold just this week (after 8 months of trying!) The photos show the restoration process and includes a couple of photos of other cars I own including a '69 Cutalss S (which I also plan to sell) and a '71 442 (green then-now white, like the one I ordered new back in '71).
Here are the photos:

nice T/A

pretty rare one,you don't see many without a/c.

i worked at a Pontiac dealer back in 78,almost every frigging T/A came off the truck with no radio in them.the prep dept. had to put them in.
we never got a 4 speed,every frigging one was an automatic.

i cant remember why they didnt come with radios,but we didnt mind,it was work.

I made a profit on the car. However, only if I discount my labor down to about nothing. I enjoy working on these old cars, trying to get them back to how they were originally manufactured. I would say it is especially tough for anyone to try to make a reasonable profit when buying a car such as this and then attempting to restore it to a fairly high standard.

Some very nice cars there.
I happen to be a big 74-76 t/a fan. My dad has a 76 (since 81) and I'd love a 74 (first choice) or 75 4 speed car. Actually, when I was looking for a project, a 74-76 was my first pick.
That is a very nice job you did on that car. Lots of time, money, and effort in that one from the looks of it.
Here's my dad's car:

Nice car and nice job on the resto. One of my friends had a 77 with a big block in it. It was one fast car. Thanks for sharing.
