1978 W72 4spd L78 M21 WTF
Ok, I might have thrown that last code in there since I'm about to learn all these Pontiac codes shortly!
 Just bought this 78 Trans Am in Martinique Blue, all original minus a fuel pump and brake master cylinder, 400/4bbl, 4spd and I'm pretty excited about getting it here and documenting things! It was parked in 1985 as that's the last registration on it, and it's still titled in the original owners name. Buildsheet is mint, and minus the hood from a mouse nest, rotted out panel free. Finally, a car I don't need to do much to. So with something like this, do I paint, drive and have fun or try and save as-is with some touch up paint work and leave it alone? Thoughts?  More to come... Cheers Dave PS: now I need a shipper to get it back from the Philly area!

Drive it, enjoy it and in a year or two sell it and move on to a real project that can take advantage of your extraordinary skills Dave.
Use this car for the fall and winter then shift over to the 1963 Corvette for spring and summer. That's my opinion.

Nice find! That one is optioned perfectly IMO. My one and only T/A was the same year and color combo that I bought in the late 80's, but it was a CA car with the dreaded 403 Olds smog engine with an auto trans. My girlfriend at the time really liked driving it, but I didn't keep it long.

Leave it alone might be a good option, but...have you MET you before? (It’s going to look BEAUTIFUL repainted. It’d be even better if you could get Ken Maisano to do the drivetrain

Hmmmm... Good point, Tom. If I know me, and I think I do. I'm thinking a repaint will be coming post-haste!
I'll get it here then decide what to do. Already downloaded the Ames catalog! Cheers Dave
