my clone project, circa 1980
I currently own the 1972 that you saw..my first TRANS AM was a 1976 white, no bird..deluxe, no air,455 stick that I got with 23k for $4500 in Jan.1979..I put it on the road in March as soon as I turned 17..that summer I converted/perverted it to the bastardized 1972 wannabe with all new GM parts that were available..including 455 H.O. intake manifold and functional (in my own way ) shaker...so in the summer of 79, a lot of these early FIREBIRD and TRANS AM parts were available over the counter...I am certain that I contributed to the blue stripes becoming not available as I ordered 3 complete sets!!
