    Also that one in the picture has the wrong motor. They used the 340 Six packs in the T/A cars not the 440 Six pack. T/A's were used in the Trans Am Racing series and had to be able to run on a road course, hence the smaller engine.

    And good call there too. Like I said, I was gunna put a 69 Camaro down until I forgot I had this picture. This car is one of my dad's dealer friends who did a RestoMod... That is the picture of the actual garage he built specifically for this car. Yes, it was originally a 340 car...but he restored it with a 440 Six-Pack, Hurst pistol grip 4-speed, 3.90 gears, and painted it the (EV2) Hemi Orange. He made his 1972 appear as a '70 T/A car.

    Trans Ams, most definitely. I've owned about 20 of them now, currently have a 98 TA and an 89 Formula.

    I like all musclecars, though. I also have a 74 AMX. How's that for an oddball car?

    well here's mine couldn't find one the way I would do it but this is close. I would want it tubbed and narrowed a little and different wheels and change the purple to green.

    360,390 and 401 were options in AMXs. One of the guys I work with has a 74 AMX with the 401. Orange with white stripes, all original. He calls it red but I say it orange.
