72 TA : New Project

Ding! 1000 posts!

Just another comment, it's amazing these cars were actually cruising around back in 1972. They were full tilt race cars on the street. They make the other 71-72 A-body cars seem so tame in comparison, like family cars. The Trans Am was GM's flagship performance car, functional spoilers, functional aerodynamics, and the brute power of the best low compression 71-72 engine ever built, the 455 H.O.

I pulled it out of the garage today, just in time for it to start raining of course...

Here's a shot from 2004:



and one from today:



Doesn't seem like a helluva lot of difference other than the honeycomb rims, the fixed front spoiler and an empty bank account! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

2010



Steve, I can see a heck of a lot of difference! Looking at these two photos, look at the body panel gaps. The 2010 photo shows perfect alignment around the bumper, hood, and door.

Again, beautiful job.
