We should all get some pictures in this year, and with the great back drop you cant go wrong. Well maybe some bathing beauties in a boat fishing in the back ground would be nice

Cool shot.
Reminds me of one my friend Steve and I took of our cars 10 or so years ago. His was the white '71.

Unfortunately, neither one of us own them any more

Ever consider adding a Black T/A style stripe & shaker? since it's not the correct color anyway, that would look sharp and complement the Black interior.
You see them Red with the White stripe & shaker, Pontiac should have had more options like that.

If you ever do it...post lot's of pic's, I'd like to see that.

I've thought about adding a stripe , Black or a darker shade of silver/charcoal , with the similar shading around it like the original

Siverbird, I have to agree. I like your color combo, very tastefully done, it works!

Was this TA on eBay about a year & a half ago? If it's the same one, I was seriously bidding on it. I'm not usually a fan of silver, perhaps because of the scazillion mid-late '70's TA's painted that hue. But this one really captured me.
MHO on adding stripes would be NOT! I don't see that improving the looks.

Do you have the details of your car for sale posted somewhere or a link to an ad?

Hey John, Not listed anywhere yet, have a good friend who has said for the last five years if I ever sell it he wants it. We have agreed on a price but have not seen his cash yet. If he comes through, the price I am selling it to him is for $38k. The car is in very nice condition, Transamric has helped me with many of the details. The only things that are not #'s matching are the wheels, dated coded 73 and the carb, 7040264, which is at Cliff's right now for a tune. here are some more pictures, the side view still shows the RamAir on the scoop, not there anymore!

I though real hard about putting those on my 70 formula but in the end I stuck with the original grills and rally II's. The honeycomb wheels and grill are a very nice look.

Took my '71 to a friend shop last week to have the stripes put on and paint the front flares. I can't wait to get it back and drive it some.
