I like that fastback version too. Looks like they borrowed from a '68/'69 Torino GT.

He still hasn't sold that "orange 69 Trans Am Test car"? I can't imagine why.

It has a rare "electronic" deck lid release. Wonder if it controlled by the BCM?

It's the "crypto currency OK" thing that makes it look a bit like a scam. Pay with that and there is no way to recover the money.

Not mine, but a few chopped quotes from the posting: "I have a 1978 Pontiac (Catalina) 400 engine with 30,000 miles, bored 0.30 over, with a 400 transmission.....The engine was built to be a racer......All it lacks is a carburetor...... If you want to run the motor you will need fresh gas, battery, and maybe some coolant and fresh oil maybe. It haven't been started in over a year so you will need someone who know what they're doing to run it"

Yeah like bring a carburetor!

Must have a $5999 RA carb on it.

Is that the exhaust system in the passenger seat.

Reads like the guy used google translate to write the ad.
