The Nitty Gritty: I am a high school Auto Shop teacher of 16 years and know these cars well, I have 5 second gen Trans Am's. I'm also fussy so I want people to know the bad with the good. Paint is what I'd call a 5-footer.Not show quality but very good for a driver.Has minor flaws...f I did'nt mention it most people would'nt see it. I don't want any disappointments. Trunk floor has some holes, should have patches or replacement. Rear frame rails are good and clean. Gas tankdoesn't leakbut looks ratty, I have another clean gas tank for it I'll throw in the deal. A/C compressor is missing like most cars this age. Cruise control not hooked up. Power locks need new door soleniods to work.Speedo gear slid over in trans so speedo not working. Minor trans leak at rear tail housing. Headliner missing front vinyl. Should haverear ebrake cables. Missing title, car will be sold on bill of sale.Car is registered and insured to me. All that being said, these items are minor when it comes to enjoying the car. They can be finished later or enjoy now as is. Hard to find one of these rare 10th Anniversary T/A's for under $10k that looks and runs this good. That's why I bought it!
