Anyone looking for a classic car?, 1978 Trans Am Options

[TeK]

I've got a pretty decent survivor car here, 1978 Trans Am. All original except the snowflake rims, still trying to find a good set. I've got pics up on my myspace page if anyone might be interested. Car is in Lubbock and can be seen and heard if anyone is serious about buying it.

Taking all serious offers.

I can put up a description and all that stuff if the need arises

Thanks

ok then any suggestions? I had an appraiser say i might get 13 thats why I used that figure. Realistically, since it needs some work I doubt i'll get it, but its a good place to start.

I've tried craigslist and they keep reporting and pulling my posts, and Im really not sure why or what I'm doing wrong, still waiting to hear about that.

Well it's kind of hard to tell the real quality of shape it's in from the pics, but putting an ad out for 13k for a 78 trans am isn't going to get you many calls. If it's really in great shape, call around to various dealers/auctions and see if anyone deals specifically with classic cars. If you think it's not quite up to par for a classic car auction, you're best off putting it somewhere visible with a for sale sign on it, like a common grocery store lot where that's allowed or something. I hesitate to tell you what I'd guess it'd go for without seeing some really good pics.

Well I've talked to dealers and most of them dont want it since its not 100% restored, like the Classic Motor place. A salesman was interested so Im hoping he calls or something but im not holding my breath.

I'm working on getting a better camera so I can actually take some good clear photos and maybe a little movie of the car running or something to show people whats up.

I'm kind of afraid to just leave it in some parking lot though, too many dickheads that could just as easily vandalize the car and screw me over worse by doing that.

Hopefully something positive happens with thrifty nickel. I posted it all here cuz I figured maybe someone knew someone who knew someone or something that like that might be interested

Thanks again for everyones suggestions
