Haven't been to the track yet, but it's hard to keep the tires(Eagle GT's) from spinning off the line even with my minor mods!

Just like the name says, I've got my second 78 Gold SE. Sold my first one over 15 years ago after a deer demolished the front end one night. Always regretted selling it, finally found another Gold SE and rescued it out of this guy's field for $1000. It still has the gold t-tops,original windshield with the gold tint at the top,no tears or burns in the console or seats,and the guy even gave me the original 15x8 wheels with it(had them in boxes in his barn!). I'll have to replace the rear quarters,trunk floor,carpet,door panels,etc. Non-running when I got it, motor will get plenty of TLC from me, just now getting ready to start restoration on whole car. I'm looking forward to learning more from everybody online here at PY.com.

1979 TA 400 with 4 speed. Cameo White with optional/deluxe "Doeskin? Vinyl Interior. (Looks tannish brown to me) Has only 21,800 miles on it. Is all original. Only items replaced are filters, waterpump,power brake booster, oil presure sending unit, plugs, cap and rotor, plugwires and tires. (I have all the original parts except for the waterpump and brake booster) This car's only option that Im aware of is A/C. No power locks, windows, cb, nothing. I like it that way. Less things to go wrong.

Same trans., Hays billet flywheel & S/S clutch, Projection 4 induction, and the usual go-fast compliments. Sub-frames tied & cross-linked. Undecided on rear end?

I own a 1978 w/ T/A 6.6,auto and WS6. I ordered this car new and am now "cleaning it up" with new seat covers, headliner, etc. I ordered all options except for T-Tops (they were changing styles at the time and were having leakage problems) and power windows (I was playing college football and if rain was threatening, the managers would roll up windows....no way they were getting my keys!). It's been sitting idle in my garage since 1989 and I just replaced all fuel lines and cranked it up. The auto transmission needs an overhaul due to leaking seals, but the engine runs great! I'll soon have it back on the road!

I have a 1979 Tenth Aniversary Trans Am, completely stock, T/A 6.6, 4 speed, 44K miles. My mom owned the car from 1979 to 1989, I have owned it since.
My other one is a 1969 Trans Am, Ram Air IV, 4 speed, 99K original miles. I have owned this very car twice, from 1982 to 1987 and from 1998 to present. You can see a picture here http://www.spottsperformance.com/gallery2.htm Its toward the bottom of the page. Paul has yet to put my name on it, but it is the only '69 T/A there.

The "78 Ghost" name is from my PHS documented '78 T/A 6.6 no T tops. The car was all original in Jan. '01 when I got it with 51,000 miles. It is white with the light blue interior. The interior is original and the plastic was redone last summer. This is my driver and I drive it every week about 600 miles [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
It doesn't have any rust anywhere and is a truly great car to drive. Sporty with good power and gets about 22 MPG on the road. Its a lightly optioned car with roll up windows, A/C, Cruise, and thats about all. Pre-super tuneup, 16.6 at 91 MPH. -Matt ------------------ "Don't tell my Mom I'm in aviation..she still thinks I play piano in a whore house."
