Taken a deposit on the Vette. She goes Thursday.
I guess the hunt for a 70-81 Trans-Am begins......

That's great news. 
Good luck in the hunt for a Trans-Am. I was looking for some earlier, there were in the states though. May be worth considering as you could choose one from a dry state.

I have also been looking but shipping, import duties, iva, registration and transport fees etc eat into the budget.
If I have found nothing by November I will start a stateside hunt but for now those already here will get checked out first.
Now, concours or hot rod?

I take it you've seen the '78 Transam on Autotrader, it's silver and has only done 45k.
Looks real nice.

I have always loved 2nd gen 'birds. I have had two in the past before I went modern with the LT1 and then the Vette.
I want rust free and nice paint because i don't weld and I don't do bodywork. Anything mechanical I can handle.
Unmolested not neccesarily - if a solid 'bird was cheap enough i might go for it and build it with modern suspension and underpinnings and later on swap out the engine too.
My priority is a solid rust free foundation and if that means I pay top dollar for a concours model then fine.

Ok - one potential eliminated. Shame, it was one I was quite excited about.

It was a restored 74 Firebird Formula 350. Turns out it's not even in the country or registered here.
Nice but I'm not yet prepared to travel abroad for one yet
