1982 Firebird Trans Am " Recaro Edition " - Rare Project - Needs Restoration

1982 Pontiac Trans Am Recaro Edition Description

For sale is a very rare 1982 Recaro Trans Am. I purchased this with the intentions of restoring it but circumstances have changed and I'm offering it for sale as complete. I'm hoping there is someone interested in saving this rare find. If not, I know the value of the parts on this car and will then part out.
I am the third owner. I purchased the car from the original owners brother who bought it for his son.
The engine was pulled and sent to be rebuilt by their mechanic and the console was removed to start interior work. The mechanic they sent it to passed away after taking engine apart, and the car has sat for the past 17 years under a carport in the desert, while the engine sat in crates sent to his fathers house.
If you are familiar with 1982 Trans Am's You know only 2000 Recaro Editions were made, and most came with automatic transmission and that Pontiac could not get many of the Borg Warner Super T-10 4 speed transmissions and had to replace them with a GM transmission early in production. Also the WS6 Package With 4 wheel disc brakes, limited rear slip axle was halted because of shortage of rear disc brake components and the WS7 with only front disc brakes was used..... *This vehicle came equipped with both options.
This is a numbers matching car, but it is definitely a project car that will be one very rare and hard to find vehicle when restored.
PROS-
