Hi folks,
I am currently working in Kuwait and searching for a car where I stumbled on what looks like a 1979 Trans Am T/A 6.6, black and gold. No sign of rust anywhere (I grew up in Canada and had an 82 trans-am myself which was a rust bucket) . Anyway I took the VIN # down 2W87W9N147053. When I looked this up on the pontiac website it comes back saying there shouldnt be a 6.6L engine in the car? The car is very dusty, from what I can see it has Moroso valave covers, Edelbrock is engraved into the engine block and has MSF (?) ignition.
On the outside, it has the pinstriping and the stickers where it is supposed to be, I took a million pictures of the outside and of the engine itself. The engine cowl does say "T/A 6.6". It has the gold honeycomb like wheels. There is a plate inside the engine compartment - it states "Body by Fisher" followed by a bunch of numbers
Inside the car, somebody put in a Hurst shifter, thing is I think the transmission is trashed as the car starts (sounds like a beast) but will not go into gear - oil on the ground , not much oil leaking from the engine.
Anybody know what I have here? Appreciate it
Ian
