This picture was taken at SEMA and if you look closely in the background is our Wolfgang display in one of our booths.

I walked down and checked these cars out a few times.

So Mike, what were your impressions of the car? Too much camaro in it for you?

The Trans Am was ALWAYS the same as a Camaro,why would this one be any different?

Nah... I liked it...

If I were to get a Trans Am I would get a classic though... just like Burt Reynolds drove... I took the below pics at last years Barrett-Jackson auction in this thread...

There were quite of few Trans Ams at this auction, the Trans Am was made famous by Burt Reynolds and Sally Field in the movie, Smokey and the Bandit

Point.

Yup thats why Im putting some money into the 1980. Its not the turbo version (thank God) that engine was junk. I have the stock 301. Wish I could drop it and have one from the earlier 70s like the 455. lol.

Either way the t/a is a great old school ride and I look forward to putting many years into it to make it look new again!
