Had a blue 78 Trans Am
DistantKarma OP t1_iqnrhjp wrote
I loved those blue ones too. I was slightly disappointed when my dad bought this one without a T-Top, but he said he got some kind of deal on it because it didn't have one.

Mine had t-tops. Dumbass for selling it.

I spent many a day and night driving around in the late 70’s / early 80’s in a friends’ TA.
Stick or automatic?
DistantKarma OP t1_iqnxuuv wrote
Automatic. It was way too much car for me when I got my license a couple years later. I got a ticket for going 77 mph in a 45 zone at age 16.

Shaker says TA 6.6 ?
I remember those.
DistantKarma OP t1_iqozrpb wrote
GM 400 cu motor. You could only get the "TA 6.6" until 12/31/79, as EPA outlawed the motor after that date.

I had a friend who had a T/A with the Olds 403.

I thought the shaker callout was 6.6 LITRE on automatic cars. Not doubting, just raised my eyebrows a tad

Gotta see what she can do at that age even though we don’t know what we’re doing other than playing with new and cool found power. Great pic and no doubt good memories for you.

Did you know it was cool at the time?
DistantKarma OP t1_iqny1ho wrote
Definitely, YES. All of the sudden I had more friends and the girls all wanted rides in it.

You just need to be playing "She's on Fire" on the 8 track and you got it.

Does he still own it?
DistantKarma OP t1_iqnxoal wrote
He broke my heart and gave it to my older sister like 4 years later. It wound up being traded in a few years after that.

Oh. You're that older neighborhood kid working on cars throughout my younger years.

Ever lose control! Looks like it would be a blast to launch, somewhere safe of course.

Back in high school, back in the day, a friend had two Trans Ams. One was the Smokey and the Bandit edition. He was envied.
