sel my 79 for LS1?

**09turbo** · 05-28-2009, 10:12 AM

here are some pics if you can see them. if not i can re post the thread.
what do you think its worth? how much should i sell it for?

it a numbers matching 1979 trams am, 403 olds, 3 speed automatic, original snowflake wheels, been re-painted by previous owner (few minor flaws in paint), and most of interior has been re-done. has AC, but needs a belt and probably a recharge of R12. i will probably get some things fixed on it before i sell it.

i was thinking 13,000?
any input will help every much. thanks guys!!!

You will have to upload your photos on to photobucket or a similar site, and copy the IMG link to paste in your reply. Then your photos will show up

I would never sell that sweet car, but if you must I would say 14,000-14,500 would be a good price. Especially after you fix those few minor flaws. Alot of people are looking for that particular year Trans Am and some are pretty desperate.

i do LOVE this car, fun to drive
but i bought it not knowing what it is, performance wise (the 403)
my girlfriend love this car, which is one reason i hate to sell it.
but i am now infected with LS1 fever! lol

**silverWS6** · 05-28-2009, 01:19 PM

Don't do it!! Just put a LS1 in it and cure the fever

**09turbo** · 05-28-2009, 01:42 PM

haha i thought about that actually. but by the time i spend all of the money to do a proper LS1 swap and i would deff do a 6speed, i may as well have bought an 02 WS6 6S

**09turbo** · 05-29-2009, 12:29 PM

any more input?

**blackbirdbrain89** · 05-29-2009, 01:03 PM

**zeus** · 05-29-2009, 01:24 PM

Damn I just sold an all numbers matching 79' Z28 all black new slick paint,factory borg warner 4 speed, 3:73 gears, with redone all blue factory interior, with the original motor, but with double hump heads, and comp .484 lift cam, the car was very nice and ran awesome, 13.60's in the quarter was my best time in it, and I sold it for $4,000, I didnt think them year cars were worth a whole lot, man that sucks I see you guys saying 14,500 and more for that 79' trans am, hopefully its cause its trans am, cause I have a 01 WS6 all black with 6 speed and lots of goodies that I would sell for $14,500 lol...and I would never trade the car I have now back for the 79' Z28 even though it was nice...the 01' WS6 is just soooo much better than I cant describe, and the new vettes.... my buddy just got an 09 Z06 and its just amazing, the handling is like an F-18 and the takeoff is like a top fuel......

**09turbo** · 05-29-2009, 07:50 PM

yea this car is all numbers matching also... haha.

thank you for the offer. but id like one that i can go ahead and make fast without worrying about fixing one, even though it may be cheaper...
