Hey, everyone...

Just registered on the site a few days ago, my name is Robert (aka Tinman5) and I currently call Dallas home...Texas is a great place to live, but if I ever win the state lottery, they'll have to follow the black, smokin' tire tracks out of town to find me.  My Pontiacs and I just can't tolerate the heat in the summer very well any more.

Any way, I'm as hooked on Trans Ams as everone else appears to be on this site.  I have three (plus two other Pontiacs) and like them all for different reasons--but must confess for the shear brute strength factor, my '73 Trans Am is probably my favorite ride.  It's a 455ci/TH400 auto (sorry, not a SD, Cecilia), Brewster Green with a white interior, aftermarket American Sunroof t-tops (added by the original owner), Hurst dual gate shifter (added by me), and restored in 1996.  Here's a favorite photograph:



For anyone planning on joining the Bandit Run 2008, I'll be taking my '76 50th Anniversary T/A the distance.  If anyone from this part of the country wants to make it a rolling party, I'm up for it!

Best,

Tinman5

Wlecome to the show Jay. As far a performance parts for your soon to be car. Small block chevy parts are the most readily available. I ( myself) would look into getting a Nice 383 stroker for it.

Welcome to the Trans Am family Jay.

Hey, that Probe GT turbo probably isn't a real slouch and if your soon to be T/A is only an LG4 305, well..... ;-)

Again, welcome aboard and have fun!!
