Nice looking bird! I also have a '75 T/A, it's Cameo White with black standard interior (changed from firethorn deluxe). It has a blue bird kit, 406 w/#48's, 3.73 rear, 3,000 stall, and some other fun stuff. It's not the fastest thing in the world however I don't think it runs bad for a street car weighing almost 4,000 pounds (12.92 @ 104).

Hello,
I have a silver 75 TA with a 4 speed and black interior that I ordered new in 75. I now have a little over 77,000 miles on the car, my 75 just usually sets in the basement so, I am currently not a champion car anything. But I still enjoy long summer drives.

Hey nice to meet you all. It's nice to finally meet some 75 owners. Ive been looking for over 5 years now. I'm still hearing Silver with black interior and a 4 speed. This is what I'm talking about. I have yet to hear of anyone with a Silver with Blue interior and an automatic. Yes its not the fastest car at the track but running in the 13's really isnt bad for a 3900 lbs car And she runs her number each time. Thats how I won the Pontiac Nationals at Norwalk Ohio. That and cutting low 5 lights all day long. The one thing I also agree on is it's a blast to drive on those long hot summers. I love going to the drive-in on Saturday nights with all my GTO friends. I get alot of nice compliments on her. You got to also love it at the red lights when the local kids pull up and give me the thumbs up. Then when I light them up its just icing on the cake. I hope you like the pics that will be posting as time goes on. Again,nice to meet you guys and I hope we can find that twin to my car....lol Take Care PhatDaddy

I've got one! Mine is cameo white ext/black int, blue bird, 400/350, both the interior and exterior show signs of being red at one time and I haven't looked that hard at the VIN tag to check what it was originally.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.

I have a 75TA that I recently bought with 23,400 miles on it. It is currently red. Iam converting the automatic to 4speed. I recently acquired a perfect set of honeycomb wheels for it. The guy who had the car before me put in headers, so Iam pulling the cherrybombs and straight pipe out and putting in Dynamax performance cats and dual Ultra Flow welded mufflers. The cars is in pretty nice shape, I should be finished up by the end of the summer with everything.

Here's a pic of my '75 in action at Mason/Dixon Dragway. Since this pic, I've finally added the front spoiler thanks to Chris at PY. They've got a great repro that fits awesome! Unlike the piece of crap I ordered from Year One that wasn't even close.

Wow now that is what I'M talking about Pontiaddict. Those are some great pics.That is a super looking 75. I would love to be a part of the Pontiac Outlaw dragracing group.I think M/D is just alittle too far for me. I would like to start Outlaw series here in the Midwest. I've been racing in the Summit Super Series at Greatlakes Dragaway for 7 years now.Its a great track to race at. The People are very nice and run a good program. Maybe I could set up a shoot out at GreatLakes Dragaway sometime in the future. We have a small group of us that go to Norwalk Ohio for the Pontiac Nationals each year. This year one of the Pontiac Series Races will be at Cordova Il. I race at that track for the Division Championships. Nice Track. Well, here is another pic I hope you all like. Take Care PhatDaddy

Im so glad I found this Web Site. I cant believe how many cool people are here.Plus,the information here is so good. The pics Ive seen so far are pretty cool. I think the 75 is the long forgotten Trans Am. With Pontiac dropping the 455 in 74 its like all the information stops at 74 then picks back up at 76 because of the 455. I have also heard alot about the turn signal in the grill made alot of people mad. Well, I think thats just sets off the front of the 75. I love all Pontiacs but this 75 of mine has been a true Rare find. Lets keep the Pics coming Take Care PhatDaddy

Definately some cool burnout/liftoff pics

We actually have a mid-western chapter of OPRA. Larry Cooper of Fabulous Firebirds (Fredericktown, MO) is the chapter representative. He would be the one to speak with regarding setting up any races. I think it's a great idea! Feel free to give him a call at (573) 783-5702. Tell him Eric Patterson told you to give him a call.

You can check out of his rides in the newest issue (March/April 2003) of Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It's on page 35
