Saving our $for paint. When we were in high school this was the car to have! Only took us 30 years lol. Oh yea it has the period correct Super Tuner AM/FM Cassette!

Some really nice looking T/As here thanks for the pics.

GR8 story - thanks for sharing and the photo! Ahh yes, Pioneer Super Tuner and Those "Front Fender Keyed" Security car alarms were all the rage back in the day. Our Martini was a "radio preparation" factory radio delete customer order originally w block off plate and owner owned aftermarket stereo...

Have you a copy of the build sheet?

Alvin, fantastic photo! Looks very close to the one I knew in high school. I love this thread. It was a Martinique Blue TA that turned me on to Firebirds 35 years ago. A guy in high school had a brand new MB T/A with W72 4spd, no A/C, custom black interior, and factory Hurst T-tops. God it was gorgeous! Bye bye to my 70 Mustang, I was now hooked on Trans Ams. Later he sold it to an idiot friend of mine who went right out and totaled it. It didn't even make it to four years old. When I think of how desirable now that T/A is with that combo and what it'd be worth makes me sick.

Wow, what a beauty...I love the 78 TA 6.6, stick w/o a/c.. in blue... this car looks great, even orig tires.
I read that early in model yr, if you got W72, WS 6, was standard, then not, then later in yr, they teamed up again.
saw one of your pics with formula, it had ralleys..

I have seen that one a few times on there. He lets the ad go for a while and then changes his pictures and reposts. I think it has been on there the last couple of months.
