Friday Flash Back - Past Rides Version

[Yancy]

Was talking to coworker Jeff this morning, reminiscing over past cars that we both have had over the years. So that got me to searching to find some pics of the 1987 Trans Am that I did a ground up custom build on. And that lead me to starting this thread. Funny how things take you places, just like the memories of past cars that you have owned.

Post your past cars, trucks, motorcycles and heck bikes too if you will. Lets see where we all got our car fever from.

So without any further ado here is my custom 1987 GTA that I built a few years ago, unfortunetly had to sell it when the economy went south. Let me know what you all think about it. Some info on the mods that I have done to it:

Holy cow Yancy, you must have gotten pulled over every other block driving that thing.

Got pulled over yes, ALOT! But it was the cops just wanting to see what I had in it. Gas stations was always fun and my boys loved me pulling up at their school to get them in it. Always stood out, gee I wonder why, lol!
