77, 78 is my favorite, but 76 would come in at a close second.

I always loved the 73 Formula's with the twin hood scoops but the 70-73 TA was my vote, although judging by the prices they are going for now it would seem unlikely that I'll ever own one, unless I hit the lottery or that long lost rich uncle leaves me all his money in his will :lol:

For now I'm happy to have my 79

I can't decide.  I like the both T/A's and Formulas from both 70-73 and 77-78.  I guess it would have to be 70-73, since I like the Formula hoods better from those years.
78 Formula
98 Trans Am
77 Grand Prix SJ
87 Grand National

Even though  have owned a 76, 77 & 78 in the past  and currently own a 78. The 76 is my favorite, I hope to have another one soon.

I just got things smoothed out from buying the 79, I would have to move into it if I bought another!!

Gotta vote for the "bat nose" but they all have their qualities.

I guess I am too late to vote, obviously I am a fan of the 78 Trans Am, but since I see no 74 or 75's have any vote's I will vote for 1974.

I think the 70-74 car's look the very best, not because of the nose but the raking rear fastback roofline. It just looked more sleek and muscular than the wraparound window.

From the side there is little visual appearance from a 73 to 74, however I will give a slight nod to the nose of the 73. I still think the 74 nose looked nice and aggressive, however I think in 1975 moving the parking lights to the grille and the new wraparound window didn't  come across very aggresive.

Truth of the matter is, I like them all. There really isn't any 2nd Gen's that you can say was a bad looking car. :D

Personally, I like the 69, but it's not part of the poll, but I own a 74 455, but refuse to vote because...  seeing how this is 78ta.com, I wouldn't expect the poll to turn out any other way than it did, that is, quad-headlight, batmobile-nose, wrap-around rear glass TA's are the favorite.  I like those too.  I like 'em all!!
