the 77 is 7/14/77 build date. it has fender,bumper decals and sail panel emblems I didn't get the shaker with it so I don't no what was on it. I no its a later year build car. but if I build a SE clone I want to use the early lower shaker on it. I like the look a lot better. it kind of defines the 77 trans am from the 78. its a hard top auto. I found a Hurst top formula 400 4 speed for 500.00 the guy wont sell me the hole car, just parts. its been in a woods for 20+ years. the hole car is there. I'm going to video it when I go pick the parts off it. I'm taking the roof and drive line.

Great work and great looking car! I think the real thing from restoring my car beside the money is the know how! I really don't know where to begin. My car needs work on everything. The only thing I know I don't have to do is the floor pans which I think is amazing for a 71 but everything else needs to be redone. Year One don't carry to many parts for 70 to 73 Firebirds and Trans Am. Do you have any suggestions.

Firehawk 73, If you want suggestions for parts places, I say go with NPD and Performance years. They are the places I use for parts. I've bought all my car parts from those two places and highly recommend them.

Looks Awesome Brother! Wish I had your Talents!
There was a 25 year void in my Trans Am Life....The second Signature car, the '80 was shipped up here from Pa., and is nicer, more original, and an S.E. as well.

Great looking 79. I really like the white and gold, the Hurst badge is just the right touch too.
