    From what I could make out, the white one has 8" Snowflakes, which, if original, means it has the WS6 handling package. It has a Pontiac engine but I couldn't tell if it has painted or silver metal valve covers, so dunno if it's L78 400 or W72 400. It has Fisher t-tops, 78 interior door panels, and 78 lattice style grills.

      Glad to see someone that knows a thing or two about these cars. I had a white 1977 Base Model with the 6.6 Litre motor. Came with the Rally II wheels. I put 7" snowflakes on the front and 8" ones on the back. My '77 had the hexagon shaped grill opening. When the motor died, my brother and I put a T/A 6.6 motor in it.

    I graduated automotive HS in 1975 got a job with Pontiac in the get ready shop. We installed the radios, defrosters, alarms , vinyl tops. Detailed the card and delivered them to the dealership about 3 miles away. I drove more 455 trans am cars than you can count. And they were so poorly but together, parts missing, I'm talking real crappy construction. But they sure looked good. Anyway in 1988 I bought a black fully loaded TA with the screaming chicken and everything. Guess what, it was garbage, burned rubber ok looked good, but the repair receipts were very high. I traded it in for a Honda civic in 91. Life is good 😊

I call it my project trans am. The only thing stock is the body and interior. Street and strip and car meets and car shows with it.

      Those birds you've restored are fantastic. My family always had Firebirds as I grew up. My female cousins had them - my dad. They are the best in the pony car realm - too bad they don't make them anymore. I have 230,000 miles on mine - with alot of care & maintenance. Of course I don't drive it all over like I used to! HA !! Mine is as original state as any -best condition. I think my 1992 is best one out there at the moment. It's just the coupe. At 21 when I got it I couldn't afford the extra insurance cost of having a V8 !

    That dust is a good sign instead of weeds growing out from the hood ,People won't invest in quality covers for a car outside just buy military grade tarp and keep it covered investment will pay off later

      Those tarps trap moisture under them and rot the metal. I’ve seen it firsthand.
      A car cover is what you should buy.

    Why didn’t you check and see if you can drive it gone before loading it onto a trailer? It really didn’t look too bad.
