Known Defects or items that need attention.

The cruise control is all there however due to the polished new aluminum intake it is no longer hooked up

On the very nose of the car under the Pontiac logo there is a small crease in the paint that has been touched up.

The very front nose of the car has some slight cracks in the clear (you must get very close and at an angle to see from people leaning on the nose where the Trans Am decal is at. Not a big deal but I try to list everything as honest as can be; I personally would not repaint it at all…

The car has mud flaps on the car I have removed them looked tacky, as there is 3 extra screws holes in the fenders. Screws in them now.

There is no jack or spare with the car.

There are dabs of silicon on the weather strip on the front corner of the T-top weather strip. Again no apparent leaks when we wash car, but letting you know I would replace the weather strip as to make it 100% perfect.

The volt gauge sometimes need to be tapped but it works, as well as the tempter gauge reads 20-30 degrees higher than a Laser Temp gun shows, may be wrong sending unit I am not sure. Working on replacing now

I have a New in box Polished intake 1” taller to make the shaker ride higher, will clear the shaker.
