Great tip. Not to mention the heavy load on the single tire. It was very windy, and when the tire blew, we didn't know it, but the trailer became really unstable. We attributed the unstableness to the wind. With the tossing and shifting on that tire, it's a wonder it didn't go too. Finally, someone with big whites in their eyes passed us pointing to the trailer, and we thought his expression warranted a closer look, LOL

Thanks Greg. The placement on yours is consistent with RamAir's right down to not being level with a rightward downslope. That might be hard to make myself repeat.

Now if I could just get a picture of the placement of the Canadian import sticker.

You can almost put them on in any position. When they were installed, I'm sure the person was just installing them, not really paying attention to level.

Can't help on the Canadian decal. My car is a born and bread redneck Texas car. Sent to Monk King Ponticac in Denton TX and now out to pasture in San Antone.

This trip we took back to the Midwest was it's first trip across the TX border since November of '71.

Looks like 71GP76TA has the Canadian sticker covered. Cool.

Well, as the saying goes sometimes... Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

I have my sights set on the next project so I am going to sell the survivor.

It's a great car and a tribute to the early second gen Trans Am.

This should be a benchmark price paid for a unrestored Trans Am, good luck with the sale.

Red face 1972 Survivor

I guess I could hurry and sell my house! (But my wife won't let me)

What a beautiful car. I'd love to have it next to my other 3 72's. Maybe next lifetime......

Can't wait to see what your next project will be Greg.

Outstanding car Greg. Do you accept trade-ins?

Hi Bob, thanks for asking. I am delivering her to her new home here in Texas this weekend where she will be in good company, sharing a garage with an original unrestored Buccaneer Red '73 Superduty with 18,000 miles that was originally shipped to Monk King Pontiac! Serendipity!

I'll be sure and get some pictures of these two cars next to eachother this weekend!
