The Supercar Registry - 72 TA : New Project

Dear Steve and all fans of this 72 TA -

I just wanted you to know that this car is alive and well. I bought it earlier this year in Austin, TX, and drove it back to San Francisco, CA, along the famous Route 66. The collector I purchased it from in Austin thought I was a bit crazy to actually *drive* it home, but I figured a classic American car deserves a road trip on the classic American road. It's a "Trans Am" after all, right? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I took some footage while I was driving back and finally got around to making a video. I've just uploaded it to YouTube here: Trans Am - Trans America. I'm not a professional videographer, but I tried my best to capture the greatest of this car.

Thanks.

That's awesome. Nice to see that it is back home on the left coast where it was sold new! It's a great car. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I watched the video. Most excellent. I love the highway run through the gears - and the vintage 1973 Chevy truck coming the other way. I lost count of how many gears you went through, it was like watching a 1970's car chase with never ending shifting sounds. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
