EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY
my first ride in a TRANS AM was the car I would end up owning..a 1976 Cameo white/white deluxe 455 4 speed (no air)...so when I took my brother to look at the car and talk to the owner (selling to get married!) I let him test drive and I sat in the back...I can still remember how cool it was to look up front at the engine turned dash with the Firebird emblem and the stick popping out the console...and of course the Formula wheel as he was driving..he did give it the thumbs up for me (23k miles)..so now we would go back to mom & dad that the car was o.k. to buy..and boy did I want it ($4500)..that I would slowly pay back (intrest free!)..so the pics from the rear seat are my best recreation from my 2nd TRANS AM ride...almost 30 years in the making so far and I do not even think I logged more than 200 miles on this High Output..my first T/A was a mint condition ride...the 2nd was all silver black standard interior and Rally 2s..the car needed to be restored that's why I never drove it as I knew it needed to be back to its former glory...just was not thinking perhaps 30 years and more??!!
