Never heard of these. Just wondering on others thoughts. I don't care for the paint scheme myself

I never liked the looks of them either.

Some people like them due to the performance improvements that were made. And because they're rare and different, and maybe nostalgic to those people.

The retrimmed but still non-matching seats don't work for me, even if that's how they came. Ejector seat controls on console.

I find them interesting, but would prob tear off part of the decal so it says NACHO instead. The cops would pull you over and say Hmmmm...Nacho Car? Is too!

How many times do you think you'd hit your head on the hood setup just to check the oil?

I think theyre cool for what they are. Nothing says the 70's more than MACHO! Other cars I would buy before I got one though.

I loved these when they first came out and the magazines wrote about them. I have always loved the second gen cars . If I had the money I would own one.

That car is BADA$$....

Bandit...Scmandit.....Short of a VSE Fire-am....The Macho TA....is the ULTIMATE late 2nd gen....

I think that car is a STEAL.....compared to what you have to pay....for a black one with gold pinstripes...

DARE.....to be different...

Black and Gold Trans Ams were produced from 1976 to 1981. I remember reading that they made 40 thousand of them. I agree, Dare to be different
