I Know, I Know, It's a Pontiac....

Well, with my '74 Z28 Camaro project wrapping up, I decided it was time to start looking for my next project. I had my sites set on a 77-81 Z28 or Trans Am. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a nice '78 Trans Am.

Pat, a great member of our forum, agreed to go look at the car for me and he gave it the thumbs up!

So, I began negotiating. We reached a deal over the weekend so yesterday I sent one of my auto transporters to pay and pick up the car from Texas. He picked it up last evening and will be dropping it off at my home shop around dinner time tonight.

I figure I will tag and insure the car and then drive it around some before I decide what exactly to do with it. I have always wanted one of these cars and am super excited. I cannot wait to see it in person!

Car loaded up and headed to its new home:




And a few pics of the car as it sat when I found it:













 
Awesome!

My dad had a '75 'Bird that he later put a '77-8 front end on. It looked much cooler that way.
 
Wow beautiful car! And in really great shape! I'm undecided on the color but it's a T/A so it's all good. I would be half afraid to do anything to it since it is in such nice shape buuuutttttt, I hear pro-tour/resto-mod with the oversize snowflake wheels and built suspension. Ohhh the possibilities. :banana2:
 
Great looking car. One day I'd like to find a '75 - '77 Formula.

Just for you Marty I'll dig around and find some gold chains for you to hang on the rear-view mirror. And a bottle of Polo you can spray on the carpets to give it that correct era smell.

I got the Polo on today!!!!!
 
I had a brand spanking new '78 black T/A, a '78 white T/A, and a '78 formula 400. They were California equipped cars (all smogged out) and the T/A's always overheated if you played with them too much. The formula was my favorite, but it was plain jane. What a blast from the past. They were the best looking cars of those years.
 
but you could have gotten one of these 1978 ground shakers :-)
