I'm Merv from the great white north, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada.  Had a 76 TA and a 74 TA but that was eons ago, always wanted to get another.  Well the day came and I picked it up last week.  1976 Trans AM 400 TH 350.  Needed the body more than anythings as eons ago I stripped the 74 and 76 and put he parts in storage.  Other than some dime sized holes in the passanger floor pans, and rot on the passanger rear lower quarter its solid.  Low compression on one cylinder so it doen't run, PT looks original will request PHS to confirm, then that will determine my direction.  From what I can tell I won't need half the body parts I have in stock... but thats a good thing.  Cool site, look foward to spending some quality time here  :)

wasn't sure if ny last post went up so i thought I'd at least post a pict of my car. I'm from Rouleau. Saskatchewan. Not far from Canuck TA actually. I restored this beast myself form the paint/bodywork to the engine rebuild. It was a complete off frame restoration that took me only 14years to complete. the cars odometer reads 116000 km's. it's fully loaded. I'm just in the process of adding the TA flares and air dam to it in white as well as replacing the door panels and the rear speaker deck cover.
