 Thanks! Shes owned it for a while, ITs PHS documented, She even has the trophies and ribbons  its won in Car Shows. Its been in a Garage for the last few years so it does need some very minor work. I offered my Wife the 79 T/A... But she wanted the 2008 Mustang GT I just bought...lol. So she gets the GT, I get the 05 GMC Truck, and 2 Trans AMs, Not a Bad deal!
  I couldnt pass on the deal, she knows me well and knows my love for all things Trans Am, her kids play with mine too, thats why shes acceppting my offer I guess.
Ive never seen those kinda head light covers. were they a standard option on Pace Cars? or were they after market GM accessories? going for the loan at 9 am! Im praying to the Trans Am GODS!
