Default 1990 1LE Trans Am 1 of 4

Now that's it's safely on the transport and (somewhat) in my possession, 1 of the 4 1LE TA's Pontiac built in 1990 (zero 1990 1LE Formulas were built) has been discovered & is on it's way to Detroit where I will pick it up in the next week or two.

Ordered new by Jim Crist of The Toy Store in Largo Florida, this car was raced it's first year in showroom stock before being converted into it's current configuration to be raced in the SCCA American Sedan series for the 1991 season with the more aerodynamic bumpers and one of the ultra rare aluminum hoods. The SCCA logbook should hold more detail but I do know it was raced at Dayton & Sebring in this configuration before being sold to it's 2nd owner.

The VIN was the key to unlocking it's true lineage and documentation is inbound from GMMA but I do know it was originally red with a tan cloth interior and was one of the 2 domestically delivered 305/5spd 1LE TA's.

I'll keep you posted with pictures & details as I unravel this enigma.
