Default Not a Scooby BUT very Nice all the same

Pick this up next weekend, all finalised this weekend for this '78' Trans Am "Burt Reynolds Edition", Not mine but my Dad's weekend drive, tried to get him to buy into the scooby world, but he wanted a american car.



Front wheel. Rears are slighty wider 275's I think

I secretly looking forward to having this on the driveway, it has a huge spec list, all been done in america by YearOne (some may know of this company), powder coated everything under neath, huge drilled discs and 4pots, engine change from 6.6 to 5.7 giving more reliable power boost (350bhp) Koni adjustables.

Nice motor!! Always loved those cars, too bad there's no RHD versions, otherwise I'd be seriously tempted.

A bargain, considering the spec, and what others were about for the same money, the prev owner imports himself as a hobby/business, his workshop garage was amazing, im not cluded up on american cars but I was very impressed.
