bobm67, do you have any pics of your TA? Always loved those. There was a brown (rootbeer?) one that drove around the south hills of Pittsburgh back in the late 70's/early 80's that was nice, as well as a black one. Didn't see too many AAR Cuda's, but they're cool too. Would love to see some pics of your car.

It was the Trans-Am series along with the IROC series that got me into being a Camaro buff back in 1975. Originally I was a Mopar buff being a Plymouth and Dodge guy because of NASCAR (back when it meant something) and drag racing. After getting my first permanent job in 1975 I wanted (perhaps stupidly) to buy a new car rather than an older used one. Neither Plymouth or Dodge had any cars that interested me by 1975 so my first choice was a Pontiac Trans-Am. Being a racing buff I considered the Camaro having more of a racing heritage, plus it was quite a bit cheaper than a Trans-Am. So I bought my first new Camaro in 1975, a Type LT in bright red. I have never owned anything else other than a Camaro up to the current day, except a 1978 Blazer K5, that I still own, for getting around in the snow. I consider the original Trans-Am racing series the best racing series there has ever been.

Sadly I don't, it was burnt orange with black vinyl roof and rally's. I lived in Rhinebeck NY and I bought the car from GT Chrysler Plymouth and Dodge in Red Hook NY. The window stick was $4800. keep it 5 years with 25,000 miles on it. I stored it every winter, had a 67 Dodge wagon for my winter driver. Sold it for $5000. in 1975. I am giving all this info encase someone here knows or has the car.

funny you should mention that because I've always wondered what happened to that car..I met the guy and became good friends with him when I used to cruise South Park in my ragtop Chevelle back in the early 80's. the T/A was brown with the black fiberglass hood,340 pistol grip car..the six pack intake and carbs were on a shelf in his garage and he had a single Holley under the hood. last I saw it was in his Mom and Dads Bethel Park garage with boxes piled on top..doubt it would still be there but guess you never know.
