    Realising a 40 year old dream....

    Back in '77 I was at Chullora Twin Drive-in in Sydney watching "Corvette Summer".... on the other screen was this trucking/CB radio movie that I had very little interest in until I saw Burt Reynolds driving a black Trans Am....

    I fell in love that night and swore that one day I'd have one....
    Last week I finally realised that dream with the purchase of this 2 owner, 37,000 miles and expertly RHD converted 1979 Trans Am Special Edition. 403/Turbo 350 and a soon to be changed 2.4:1 LSD.20161223_172055 (2).jpg20170325_150916.jpg20170324_142037.jpg20161223_172034 small.jpg
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    Holy crap dude. You must just be an older, richer version of me. That car is pretty high up on my list too.

    Looks damn tidy.

    Wow!! That's a cool car. Of all the colours I've seen them in black looks the best. Hate that gold colour. Good luck with it. Will you be getting parts from Detroit?
