1970 Trans Am T/A of the week. The 1970 Trans Am is the most beautiful Trans Am ever created, well in my own opinion. From its rear-facing shaker scoop to its fender extractors and front and rear spoilers it is my personal favorite of all the Trans Am’s. I would even trade my own beloved ’76 Trans Am for a 1970 4 speed. Now the 1970 Trans Am is better known as a 1970 1/2 because The second generation debut for the 1970 model year was delayed until February 26, 1970, because of tooling and engineering problems; thus, its popular… Read More

1976 Pontiac Trans Am 4 Speed Fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxMFtAXXlK0 1976 Pontiac Trans Am Speed Burst.. This was the first month I got the car on the road. When I bought the car it was not running.

This day in particular I was driving around and decide to jump on it. I wound out first and went for it. Second came good and third gear came pretty quick. I ran outta room to nail fourth.… Read More
Welcome 76 Trans Am With a 77 Front End
1976 Trans Am With a 77 Front End ? Yepperrrrr ! You see I already had two 1978 Trans Ams before this one . The T/A I had back in 1990 400 4spd but I sorta kinda got ripped off on it. So it was short lived then in 1999 I had another I got for 500 bucks. I was an automatic converted to a stick and a 428. Yes I said 428 out of a ’69 Grand Prix but young and stupid prevailed. I bought a used ’97 Formula Ram Air after I blew the head gasket. And… Read More
New Grilles Set W/Fitting Kit For 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am – Pair
As a Trans Am Owner… I know how hard it is to find parts, and even if you do are they good parts. Do they fit right? Do they look just like the original? Trust me before I lay down any money and place that order I do some googling and see some reviews to see what others have to say. Now do not get me wrong I also belong to a few Trans Am pages on Facebook and ask around as well. But so far I have not heard anything bad about these right here. Not to mention I… Read More
