Up for sale is my restored and upgraded 1978 TransAm with a W72 performance option. Besides being a beautifully restored TransAm, over the last 4 years I did well over $10k in upgrades to make it enjoyable to drive and get the right look.
See the car in action on the band Surrender the Fall's music video on MTV:
