Well, this is my new project I picked up. 

WhiskeyChick's 1978 Pontiac Trans Am

Its a totally stock 1978 T/A 6.6 Trans am.  It is a W72 car although it lacks the WS6 suspension package.  A few other goodies added in, make it a very rare optioned car, as well as it has the SE trans am paint color of Gold.
The interior is mint, minus the drivers pull handle which cracked. It even has the original 8 track deck in it.

The engine runs great, and is untouched, and I have the numbers matching carb to go back on it as well, so it is a full numbers matching car.  And the Auto trans still seems fine as well.

As for the body.... well she is rough. real rough.  But check out my GTA page, and see what I can do.  She will be beautiful when I am done.

The previous owner started a resto on her.  She has new hood, new nose and fenders, new inners and rad support.  I am hunting down new doors, and quarters.  The floors, and rockers are in fantastic shape and all the glass is there intact and orginal.  It also still has all the fender flares, and the lower nose valence.

These are some of the pics we took while picking her up....

Even stopped for some *cough* beauty shots.

Nice find!!! I love the Solar Gold. I hope you keep it that color. I have a 1978 Solar Gold T/A with original paint and 55K. I had it 2 years now. I'm doing minor restoration-- carpet, door panels, engine detail, etc. Keep me posted on your progress. Gary K
