You don't see many 1975!

She is a 1975 Trans-Am that has a 1977 400ci with an Edelbrock Performer intake, and carb, Hooker headers, and a Turbo 350 tranny with a 1977 posi-trac 3.23 rear end. The car has the original 8-track player. Wow, how cool is that!

She belongs to rkellerjr from the SCC forum.

Here are some videos that rkellerjr made about his car:

Congratulations to rkellerjr!

Wow, thanks!! What an honor to be the car of the month. Couple quick changes...

* Car is not for sale, I'm finishing the restoration
* The first vid is no longer valid, you can see that vid here...

Rich,
I updated your info. Glad to hear you decided to finish it! I was sad that you were selling it.

Thanks everyone and ya Hooper, I'm kinda glad I'm keeping it too. She's going to be one fine muscle car when I'm done.

I got the first video to work just fine, FYI. But more importantly - congrats, man, on the Trans Am of the month honor and for making the decision to keep the car. She's a beaut, and deserves an owner who obviously knows how to take care of a TA. Keep us posted on the restoration forum!

Wished I could but it doesn't have AC and our Jeep has a lot more room to carry our stuff :)

You meeting with us at the show on Monday night when I'm up there?

Aaahh, come on. I drove from Tulsa to central Missouri - about 6 hours - in my '76 with a weekend load of camping gear, 3 children, and I was pregnant!! Oh, and I didn't have air conditioning, either, and was sitting on a VERY hot tranny! Surely you can power through so rkellerjr can see your car in person. (Working for you, here, rkellerjr!) :wink:

hehehe, well, my wife has agreed to sweat it out in August by taking the bird up to Dayton, which is about a 9 1/2 to 10 hour drive in the TA. The least I can do is let her be comfortable when we take the family vacation ;)
