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* The first vid is no longer valid, you can see that vid here...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!

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 Wink
