I'm not worthy!

Yeah this was my car also. Don't remember how old I was but seeing those two female drivers in Canon Ball Run sealed the deal for me. Now I find out what you have to do to reverse and parallel park this thing.

You actually half to sit or the door sill and look backwards while pressing the gas pedal so you can see. Now I think, what were they thinking. Ever a car that needs a backup camera, this is it. Sorry if I ruined it for you.

Always wanted to build a "resto-mod version of my 1970 T/A into a street legal replica of the racecar Jerry Titus died in at Elkhart Lake Trans Am race.

Wow! Talk about a flashback to the past. I remember seeing these great racing machines during the "pony car wars" of the late '60s and early 70's.

They were formidable beasts, and all the Detroit factories were players. Invoking the NASCAR idiom of "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday", they hired the best drivers in the business, and from all disciplines. Parnelli Jones, Dan Gurney, Mark Donahue, Peter Revson, George Follmer, David Pearson, Swede Savage, Sam Posey and Jerry all slugged it out on the best road courses in America.

Lots of great stories from that era. Google it sometime.

Maybe not if you order yours without the rear wing. It will increase top speed 5 MPH

I don't care if I have to buy a spider monkey to sit on the hood and give me directions...I will have one!
