OMG This Totally just flooded my memories gate.
I absolutely Loved the Trans Am! Jesus! This one is Identical to the one John bought when we were dating! I know it's not his, but it could be!
John even installed the "Screaming Chicken" Decal himself! He bought it for $5000.00 in 1976 The car sales people that was selling it said they mismarked the advertised price. But that was when the law changed and whatever the window sticker was, that had to be the price. His Dad went down with him to the car sales place and John got it for 5,000.00 as advertised!
This is the car I learned to Shift on.
I loved the downshifting and the Pop pop Pop Noise!
God, I loved it and so did John. We were 18 and I remember how he came to my work and I looked out the big glass window and saw him in it out front. I couldn't go out at hat time, but I sure in the Hell met him for a Pizza after work to listen to his story!
It's funny with John and it took me a while to realize about him and his cars. He had ones that he loved but If I liked it he wanted to buy it.
I started saying to John. I really like that, but don't buy one.
This Trans Am is one I wish was in my garage with the other ones that John loved.
I think Car Guys have story's just like mine.
