Another one?


So I added another one to the collection. Arrived today. 73 Trans Am 4 speed. Been in the Fresno, Ca area entire life. Still has orginal motor, but the 4 speed was stolen when the motor was rebuilt. So they put a automatic in it, not sure why. Solid and straight car. Needs a few things sorted out and will be on the hunt for parts that are missing and not correct. I felt like a badass driving it! Cannonball run anyone?

Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing your virginity all in about 8 seconds.

That TA looks like a Sweet Ride, look forward to checking it out !~

McQ was a movie shot in Seattle and the PNW in the early 70's starring John Wayne. He played a police detective.

He drove a Brewster Green 73 Firebird. Bill P posted a Youtube link to it here on the legends board a while back. It showed John Wayne in a chase that started on Beacon Hill at the old VA hospital

Crap, now you have me looking for one! I had a blue '76 455-4 speed T/A Right after Theresa and I were married. I sold it because it was slow.
