Default New to me '72

Picked this up last Monday. I couldn't pass it up. Isn't everyday one of these comes up for sale in the local area. 72 Trans Am 455HO 4 speed with A/C. Mostly original paint. Original drivetrain. 98,000 original miles. Car is pretty much rust free and a great driver. Defiantly a keeper.

SWEET!
Don't see a lot of '72 M22 T/A's with the Ivory custom interior.

Is it a early build or late build car? Couldn't tell by your interior shot.

Very nice find. It's great to see original condition unrestored cars. Amazing what's still out there hidden in garages.
Keep the pictures coming!

Wow, 4 speed with A/C. Congrats on landing it. I’m also in the Central Valley, what town did you pick it up from, and where was it purchased new?

I bought the car in the Sacramento area. It was a word of mouth deal and not advertised. Sold new in Milwaukee WI and has been in CA since 1975. Resided in the bay area up until a couple weeks ago. Still has 6 digit blue and yellow plates. Previous owner had since 1991. I believe I am the 3rd owner.

What part of the central valley? I'm in Oakdale.

Yes all original sheetmetal. Very original and unmolested for the most part.
