  • Reprographic quality is excellent with minimal loss between parent and child (although one chart is poor).  Keep in mind this is a "Status Report" on the 302 Trans-Am engine program. It contains some raw data (Charts, Graphs, Evaluations etc.) but the most important aspect is the projected outline regarding the on-going the program. The content is priceless!!!

NOTE: Because of the increase in Non-Paying Bidders, I reserve the right to reject the high bid of anyone who has more than two negative comments in their eBay feed back profile.  In the event that a high bidder does not complete the contract according to the terms outlined in this auction,  I will notify eBay Safe Harbor accordingly and issue negative feed back...
