[StealthBird]

Herb Adams formed a team called Adams Associates that built a 1972 Trans Am for SCCA competition. Herb Adams did some of the driving, but Milt Minter was the primary driver. They won the 1972 Mid-Ohio race and placed 2nd at Lime Rock and Elkhart Lake. It was the only victory for the Trans Am in the SCCA series.

This is from Rocky Rotella:

"Des, the car you speak of has a storied past. I hoped to prepare a story about it in HPP, but the magazine and 11 other titles were lost overnight when SourceInternlink regrouped as The Enthusiast Network (TEN). I was working on a story and found some documentation on the car. I am using it as a side bar in my 70-81 book.

Basically the car was an engineering mule. I’m told by Dan Hardin it was a 1970 Trans Am with a Ram Air IV that was used for various suspension and engine tests. At one point it had a SD-455 or two in it. At the time of the press preview, it had the 366. I found some GM photos of it that I am including in the book, but for the most part, I wasn’t able to find any others that were really cool. The car was destroyed. "
