onebluess Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Heres a Trans Am bought without a title. I bought the PHS documents for it and it turns out to be a 1977 Y82 Special Edition with the W72 performance package and a 4 speed which is about the most coveted “Bandit “ there is. That’s what I thought it was, thus the reason for taking a chance buying it with no title. I found the original owner which was the same as the registered owner. I sent the release of interest certified mail and actually got a response back from the owners son. He said that the car was stolen out of an impound yard in 1996. I think the real truth, since there was no police report on file for it being stolen, was that he got it impounded and couldn’t get it out. And then the impound yard parted it and let it go with no title and at the same time never taking it out of the owners name. I ended up paying for it again to get the title from him as he wasn’t interested in taking it due to the condition. Got more history on it too . The Dad bought it new and was letting the son drive it in the early 90’s. It had 28,000 miles when they lost it so it's got a really nice rust free body. And here’s a picture he had of it with his Dad from 1982. And few I took of it now at my house. I'm just wondering where to apply the SS emblems?.?

onebluess Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) NipRing thats a nice 78' I'm sure youre a member of 78ta.com . I almost asked if it was a Y88 but noticed the lack of gold around the headlights. Is it a W72 400? 8 track or CB? I've got the same front licence plate in my shop.

Downeast Johnny Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 What a great project. Hard to believe they let the car go. I guess if your broke, your broke. I'm curious as to what the real story on it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebluess Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Funny I just noticed the bumper sticker on both the old and the current pictures 32 years later. And the metal mudflaps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
