Great to see some action here, and here's a little bit about my Trans
Am.

I bought the car in October 1981, and at the time my Trans Am was my
'Daily Driver', a job it held for nearly 10 years. I did some work on
the Engine, and Stereo during my Trans Am's 'Daily Driver' days, but
the more serious bodywork was put off until I retired my T/A from
daily use in 1991. Once the bodywork was done, a new set of American
Racing 'Outlaw II's' were fitted to the car, new Carpet, Headliner,
and some more serious Stereo upgrades.

You can read more on my Trans Am on my Website at http://www.76transam.net.
Btw, that URL is a redirect, so don't worry if you land at a slightly
different URL than the one I typed here.

My T/A has the 400 Cubic Inch V-8 in it, which in 1976, was only 40hp
less than the 455, and without too much effort, the extra 40hp could
easily be gotten out of the 400.
