Trans-AM for wife

[68427caprice]

I am looking for a Trans-Am in the 1970-1980 range that
would suitable for a wife to drive that does not like to drive oiur "big cars". Any thoughts from this very prestigous group. We would only drive a few days of year and I am not looking for a show car, only a driver.
Suggestions? Best year/options/price range 10-15K.
ps she really wants the bird on the hood, so that is a criteria also....

Jim, no problem, JMHO, in your price range a driver quality TA leaves the '70-'73 cars out of the picture. After that, it's personal preference, I prefer the round head light cars which were built through '76.

As much as I hate to say it, there have been a few very nice mid/late 70's TA's on Ebay lately.

HTH,

Mike

If you do a search on "cars for sale" you'll pull up a lot of classic car sites. Here's a pretty popular one:

The Black '79 Trans Am I bought from budnate about a year ago just got consigned at my friend's classic car dealership.

It's a very nice running/driving car that has been taken care of throughout its life. Hopefully it still has all of its original documentation as well.

Its a black T-top with red velour interior and red/yellow screaming chicken and decals. WS6 suspension with 4 wheel disc brakes and 15x8" snowflake wheels sporting new Goodyear Eagle GT2's that I put on it before I sold it. 403/AT with all the power goodies. I think the last owner put a new stereo into it (it had an old aftermarket one when Bud and I had it).

Call Mark at Memory Lane Motors 206-575-1258 in Seattle if you'd like more info (M-F 10-6 Pac Time). His website is www.memorylanemotors.net, but the car just came in, so its not on there yet.

My 3 year old daughter recognized it when we pulled in to visit the other day. "Daddy, its your big red chicken car!"
