I caught this while browsing and it just makes me want one more. I really like the yellow, but I also love the gold and Bandit T/As.

But then again I am kinda partial to the '79s

From the description the current price is/should be the max for it. The manual cars are worth more and have the Pontiac 400 in them.

Very nice, is that yours? If not you should get it to match your C6.

I acted too slow on a 78 Formula t-top, but a T/A with the shaker is worth waiting for.

Nice side by side. Is that original or a restoration?

It is mostly original. It was repainted back around 1990, the original silver paint in 1979 was water based without a clear coat, needless to say it didn't hold up well. There are very few left with the original paint. The interior is all original and only a few mechanical parts have been replaced. It has around 46k miles on it. I do need to replace all the rubber bushings and shocks on it to get it to handle more like new.

Other than the center exhaust ports are "siamiesed", they're not that similar at all...
