That green bird makes me wonder how it would be if GM was more early 70 Mopar-ish in colors how we would have some wild birds as collectibles now. This green always reminds me of MOPAR in that sense and I mean that in a compliment way as described..... (sounds weird I know)..........

i agree completely. even if they were to just take a couple of the judge colors and care them over to the TAs. imagine an Orbit Orange TA or Carousel Red... that would have been cool.

I assume you mean 69 because they made a carousel red t/a in 76

i actually meant if they carried over carousel red to the 70-73 TAs. a '73 with the bird would have looked cool.

That would have been sweet! Imagine early T/A's running around in colors like Sublime Green, Panther Pink, Vitamin C, Plum Crazy etc. etc.

Would have been way cool! I suppose you could always build one like that, but the Pontiac community would probably burn you at the stake!

You should be having second thoughts, but you're probably just one strong bid away from being a man on the hunt for a new old car...

Mounted up the new Cobras on some 15x7 Rally II's. They're 245/60 fronts and 275/60 rears. I really like the look! I still think I need to lower the ass end down about an inch.

Thanks! Those louvers weren't the easiest thing to find. I ended up getting them off CL, brand new in the box from the 70's.
