Default Vintage PY Catalog...

Way back...20 some years ago.....I seem to recall a Performance Years Firebird Catalog.....with a parking lot full of black Trans ams on the cover.

I'm sure I still have a copy somewhere.....but haven't seen it since I moved 8 years ago...

If anybody remembers and or still has a copy......could they post a picture?

Thanks

I have a couple PY catalogs still;
They predate Ames buying PY;
At the time it seemed (at least to me) that it was PY who were making all the Pontiac specific parts.

I was in the habit for a spell of getting rid of all but the newest catalog - as I am sure many here also did.

I don't recall that cover, but I am giving this thread a bump incase someone here has a picture of it to share

If you get a chance...maybe thumb those...and see if that picture with black 76's was a poster that they sold?

Thanks for posting

Cataolog 8F (2001) had two posters, but not that one.
Catalog 13A (2013) had no posters.

BUMP!!

We did have a catalog where we took my Son's 1976 Trans Am and replicate the pic a bunch of times. I don't recall ever making a post of it though. I tried to save one of each catalog over the years but I moved my office several times and it's possible they ended up in a box somewhere. If I run across it, I'll post it here.

Thanks for clearing that up....

Was the black Trans am an anniversary car?
