I bought this '74 Trans Am back in 1989, but saw the car all the time since 1974.
Since I already had another '74 Trans Am (the sunroof car), I would see this car always going the other way all the time.
I guess the other owner saw my car as well.
When I answered the ad, he told me he always wanted my car, and I told him I always wanted his.
He was asking $6500.00 for the car, and when we met, he lowed the price down to $3,900.00 without me dealing at all.
So, I had to buy it.
I was running a set of 16 inch Diamond Spoke wheels (third gen GTA style wheels) on it, but since giving it to my girlfriend, I put on 15 inch 15x8 Enkie 92s.
Headman Headers used my car as a guiena pig for doing a set of "D" port headers for a "F" Body, through H. O. Racing. So, it's got a complete set of headers and exhaust from them.
After 160,000 miles, the engine started running really rough.
I have put the car in limbo for now, and need to rebuild the engine.
But I'm waiting for the girfriend to come up with the money, since I gave the car to her.
I gotta admit, she always came home with a big smile, and the guys always left her alone, she had the faster car.
Since my move, I have been spending more money on the house and garage.
I hope to start the engine this next summer.
Then, a repaint, and decals.
