Nice job SW and congrats on the new metal. Will be very interested in hearing your impressions once this recall thing is figured out. Mine is stuck in Germany somewhere, last I heard was at Port of Emden but don't know if returned to factory or not.

Also, I'd like to know who you recommend for tint and clear wrap. I've used Sun Tint in the past with good results.

If you get your car to your shop sometime I'd love to check it out. You might recall that I sold my yellow 997 GT3 some years back to your buddy, back when you shop was by Colvin on Hancock.

I was planning on the COTA private track day next month but that's a bust. . . . so sucks.

Could you please tell us about your Trans Am? I looks lowered and I'm sure has some kind of race suspension? What engine? It looks..... AWESOME!! Thanks.

Nice to see SW posting on this forum. He's a hell of a nice guy too. I originally met him when he was big into Supras and he set some truly amazing records with those cars...and the legend lives on!

Yes, I do remember that. I was at COTA yesterday and this morning before the rain came for a Ferrari CCR race /DE. I drove my blue Scud again. Like you, I am hoping the problem gets handled quickly so we can all enjoy this great new car..

Thanks Steve, good to see you on here as well

Thanks, I am a Trans Am fanatic. I had several growing up and while I was in High School. I currently have 3, the red '73 I have owned for over 10 years. I originally restored it myself, then sent to Detroit Speed and had them mini-tubb it, install large Baer Brakes, fuel system ect, It has a 462 ci Pontiac motor, TKO 5speed, Fikse wheels 19x13r 18x11f with lots of body & suspension mods to make everything work. I also have a '72 455 HO 4spd numbers car with just a couple of tweeks, a '79 T/A and a '71 Camaro RS with the whole DSE catalog in it, including a LSX 427 dry sump motor and a TR6060 6 speed.

Very cool cars SW. My 1st car was a black 1978 Trans AM in high school back in Michigan. I paid $5800 for it. I bet its worth ALOT more now probably around $80K to $100K. I Crashed it the 1st week and it sat at the body shop for 3 months. Love to get another one. I miss that car

Steve Theodore

Oh man, please send me a link to your '72 455 HO 4 speed T/A if you have them SW...that is absolutely required viewing. Not that your '73 is chopped liver or anything. Those cars are so killer!

You probably don't know this about me, but my very first car at the age of 16 was a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo (the 4.9L non-intercooled turbo, 3 speed automatic, with the boost lights on the raised hood). That car was my dream when I bought it, and I was lucky to have her.

As am I... I grew up with a 79 T/A with 400 4sp... When I spun a bearing, we punched it .30 over, installed a 455 crank (with the main journals welded up) and went with a nice lopey TRW cam and that car was so much fun. My uncle had a '71 455 HO that I briefly owned. Had to sell both those cars over the years, but still love and miss the T/A's.

If you EVER consider selling your 73, 72, or 79, please let me know. I would be interested... Hell I already am! :-)

Drool….

If you decide to sell either the 72 or 73, please ensure you list them here.

Thanks guys, you know it's funny that almost every time I drive one of my T/A's, someone always has a Trans Am story, either they used to own one, rode in one or got laid in one! I learned how to Autocross in my '76 455 4spd car I had in High School. I think I have owned over 20 Trans Ams so far and I still chase them every day. It's just one of those cars..

Here is the original 41 year old interior of my '73. The only interior parts I replaced was the carpet & console. It was a very nice southern California car. 1 owner.



The day I got it, June 2003 with it's original paint!

11 years later..

Interior in that rig is ridiculous.
