By '74, many of the muscle cars were already worn out, trashed, crashed and abused. Most of them were also daily drivers with high miles. 3 car attached garages were a thing of the future, most were parked outside in the weather. Cars in the rust belt states were already well underway to disintegrating after only 5 years of salt roads in the winter. There were some that had privileged lives with limited miles and good care, but they were few and far between.

How about a red, white and blue 1970 Trans Am. I had this car back in 2008 and it was a blast.

Here's a larger photo:



There were also a couple made with a green interior but have not surfaced AFAIK. The rarest 70 T/A: one was ordered with wire wheel covers.

A friend of mine has one with a green interior. Car came from Hawaii. Ugly AF IMO, but what can you do with an original car?

When a color combo is that far off base, originality only goes so far for me. I'd have to change it to saddle or blue, so I wouldn't vomit every time I got in...

a lady here in tulsa ordered a white 71 ta with green interior. she drove it as her daily driver until she quit driving as a really old lady. a friend bought it and immediately changed it to black. i would have left it green myself.

And many were not.
