Haha you guys are too funny. I am a Firebird/Pontiac nut aka Ponchonutty. Being a Firebird nut, I like BOTH Yearone and Gasmonkey cars as they are. Personally I like the Yearone cars because they are Pontiac motor based while the Gasmonkey was Olds based but that shouldn't detract that it's still a true SE car and a nice one at that.
This car my cousin needs to sell isn't a SE car (no gold trim around headlights, no gold dash, steering wheel, or gold pinstripes). More importantly is though it is a WS6/W72 coded car with factory 4sp. This makes it super rare plus the fact that was THE ONLY 2 OPTIONS. Technically it's a factory race car of sorts because nothing else was added. To me, there's seriously no better sounding motor than a Pontiac 400-455!!! Here's a video (sorry for the piss poor quality) of this TA the day I brought it home. It does have headers but everything else is bone stock, even the the cam!

It sure is a shame that they cut the roof up for the sunroof. I have an '79 SE at home that needs a lot of work...

Yea i would call this more than a few small holes, and having to repair the roof on an otherwise original car stinks.

Yeah well the paint is very aged anyways. I had the rear bumper and spoilers sprayed when I owned it. I wanted to repaint it and even had another roof for it to graft the hole shut but ran out of money. It's a hell of a driver and really wouldn't take much to become a super sweet car. Looks like he's gonna get it sold. Someone stepped up. Just waiting for the money now.
