Unseasonably warm weather here today, so I took a few of the cars out for what will likely be their final exercise runs before winter hibernation.

Keith that Blue TA looks completely fantastic sitting there with a perfect stance.
Great Shot

it could be my imagination, but the rear center cap looks Black.
I really prefer the Black Caps on these cars, and pretty much all cars.
Red caps look like a reset button on an appliance

Thx! Just the lighting/reflection, though - it has red caps all around. But I'm with you that they look better in black. My other T/A has black caps on its JWs. It was like that when I got it 15+ years ago, but I've never changed them because I like the look

It actually is a 79. I could not abide the looks so put in new sheet metal in the rear and nose on the front. Lotta work!

Brakes are 1LE rotors and B spindle in front, our drum-in-hat set in the rear. I used a Mopar manual master - no booster. I drove this very hard at the track, it took quite a bit to get fade. Car weighs 3,350 pounds

I thought I had posted my 72 in this thread, but I didn’t see it so I guess not? Here it is:

Is that custom made? I have never seen a Dual Gate with overdrive for the 2nd Gen.

Yes, I modified a 1977 Dual gate Hurst Firebird shifter ( aftermarket piece)
with a Shiftworks detent plate inside and a shiftworks OD Indicator.
Used a Bowtie Overdrives cross member, but my next will just use my TH400 cross member for the OD trans.
Shifter ball is bigger than the plain black ball it had and came from Ames
Performance.
works fine.
