New stablemate
Hey forum, please welcome the new addition a 78 Trans Am. (some are pics from delivery this past Sunday and some from dealership listing)
Funny side note:
My wife asks ..."where are you going to park the Trans Am?"
I say...."in the garage of course."
She says....."so your going to park the OLD 78 Corvette and OLD 78 Trans Am inside along with the C7 and leave the $90,000 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe outside in the driveway with the X5?
I say......"yup"
She rolls her eyes and says ...."buy a parking lift so you can park the 6 series inside too"
Winner winner chicken dinner!

Congrats and one heck of an addition to the garage. I think the older Trans Am cars are beautiful.

Congratulations on the TA.
A true classic in my opinion. I have always like the 70s era TAs. I owned a black '82 ( my first new car purchase right out of college ) and a white '87

I am a Corvette man. I've owned 8 Vettes so far. I had a Firebird years ago and really liked it. The old Firebirds are still good looking cars. It's a shame GM dropped the Firebird and the Pontiac car line. Pontiac outsold Buick 2/1 the last full year it was produced. Pontiac also attracted more younger buyers than Buick. I thought it was crazy that GM dropped Pontiac instead of Buick. It shows me how far GM has fallen.
