Any T/A enthusiasts here?

kentuckyyeti · August 1st, 2011, 01:06 AM

First, I am , and always have been, Blue Oval since I started driving way back in the 70's. But in the mid-70's the only cars getting more power were the Pontiacs, specifically Trans Ams. So I developed an infatuation with them that I still have to this day. My wife and I have owned literally dozens of them. I now have a 1981 Daytona 500 Pace Car factory turbocharged T/A. We are currently building a 1978 special edition T/A for my wife. And, yes, I find them and trailer them home behind a Ford! My 2004 V8 Explorer Limited with the 7000 lb tow package.

I started noticing them a couple years back (I'm only 19) and i think they are awesome. I really like the 98-02 ws6's. I've actually been thinking that i am going to start saving up, then sell my car and buy one of em'

kentuckyyeti · August 5th, 2011, 09:12 AM

I like the older ones best, just for playing with. I'll keep my wife in a Mustang.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 5th, 2011, 12:31 PM

Been thinking about doing the same thing myself, nice and fast cars.

T-Lee. 30 · August 13th, 2011, 09:59 PM

The 98-02 t/a ws6 is about the only car I would trade my stang for but more than likely I wouldnt trade it I would sell my t bird for change and get a t/a to play with. I raced one the other nigh with a full exhaust and I barley beat him only by like almost 2 carlenghts if I wasnt blown he woulda smoked the hell out of me.

Rich2279 · August 14th, 2011, 01:02 AM

I had a '79 T/A awhile back. It came with the 403 Olds motor, which I quickly replaced with a Pontiac 400. That is one car I will always miss.

They are awesome cars, but the 4th gen F-body's are a real pain to work on.

kentuckyyeti · August 14th, 2011, 09:02 AM

Here's my rotisseried '73 Formula 455 4-speed I sold back in the spring (dumb idea!)

My present driver: 1 of 2000 Daytona 500 Turbo Pace Cars

Still all numbers-matching and teh original Recaro interior.

And I am currently building a 1978 SE T/A for my wife as time/money allows.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 15th, 2011, 03:31 AM

hell yeah, i always wanted a white 73 ta 455SD

i hope to get on mine out and start working on it before too long.

Jtbacks · August 17th, 2011, 09:13 PM

I love the WS6's, my dad used to own a 76 Trans AM with a 455cu.in. engine, fun time but sold it when our family bought a house. Though i did heard that the WS6's are fuckers to work on, because 1/3 of the engine is under a sheet of metal/dash.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 18th, 2011, 12:35 AM

ws6's? ws6 is just a handling package. you could get a ws6 package in the 70's as well. what you are talking about is the 4th & 5th gens

kentuckyyeti · August 18th, 2011, 09:12 AM

yeah- the WS6 handling package was first available in 1978.

kentuckyyeti · August 18th, 2011, 09:19 AM

Both of these have been featured in calenders (here are the calender pics) and the Nascar has been in High Performance Pontiac magazine.

supermachone · August 19th, 2011, 01:17 AM

ive always liked trans ams, i will own a 98-02 ws6 someday

2nd gen trans ams are sick too! i wanted one for my first car but it was too much money

SWEET2KSTANG · August 19th, 2011, 09:36 PM

seeing the pace car makes me miss mine

wish i had the time and $ to get it back out

Blackbird1084 · August 20th, 2011, 12:07 AM

Mine is just a 97 WS6 LT1 but I like it.

B's04gt · August 20th, 2011, 10:23 PM
