What would you guys pay for my car? I'm curious. 1981 Trans Am Special Edition Turbo turned into a 1978 Special Edition with a 400. You guys know the rest about the car. I'm thinking 15,000 after pin striping and some other minor work.

It seems those Trans Ams are spiking, at least in the past 2-3 years since they don't need emissions done and qualify for classic car insurance and collector's plates and such.

After pin striping, maybe $7k-$10k

New paint, and it's turned into something more attractive than it was born...$8k is a number that comes out at me.

Well there's a 1978 in white with an early 70s 400 going for $17'000 here so somewhere around that if it had all the decals on it and such. This is in the UK though so I assume they go higher here due to them having to be imported.

I don't know much about the market for these cars, but I would guess $8-10k

I would say in the $10-11k range. It would be a hard sell where I live though, because the Portland (OR) metro area has to emission test all cars post 75. A nice 75 corvette can go for $15k here, same condition 76 - $6k because it has to pass emissions.

9-10k since it's not an original but still such a fantastic car

At the end of the day its worth whatever someones willing to pay for it. I don't mean put it on CL for 50k but there are people out there willing to pay more than what a classics "worth" for one

Haha, emissions testing... this car would fail epically. I've made sure every smog equipment piece on the car I could find has been removed.
