Long story short, neighbor here in Elgin has a property in the city that he rents, previous renter left, previous renter left a 2nd gen Firebird in the garage. My neighbor has tried to contact him (to remove the car), to no avail.
So neighbor said "Come get the car, it's yours..."
He sent me pictures today along with VIN#. Car is dirty,a 1980 Trans Am, but my VIN decoding has some surprising info IF this is truly what it says it is... 2X87TAN133359.
Doing some research on TransAm World, this is an Indy pace car with the 4.9L turbo. While the turbo 301 is nothing special, if this is truly an indy pace car, just without the sticker package (there are no stickers on it), is this something worth snatching and cleaning up?
