Great another Charger/Trans Am Owner! One day soon I hope my T/A looks at nice as yours!
Good luck with your new ride!

I had a '73 T/A and a few '79's "years" ago and always loved them (and Chargers of course!) It's kinda of amazing how crappy late 70's and 80's GM products were built...interiors and electrics, bringing back unfond memories. But I just pick-up car this week and do love it.....so far.  It's gonna need new decals (faded) and some interior work but pretty solid with rebuiilt "Oldsturd",  403 .030 over w/forged pistons & aluminum heads, intake, MSD, headers and a nasty cam! Way louder than Charger, don't know if it will pass state inspection the way this thing sounds, may need new "quiet mufflers. Shaker REALLY shakes at stoplights with cam!  (Gonna keep Charger too if finances allow it)

My 79 has Hotchkis suspension, AGR steering and 4-wheel disc brakes.
That car drives and corners better than any of the mopars that I own. Still prefer my mopars, but I'm kind of fond of my T/A's as well.
I don't worry about driving the T/A's since parts are still somewhat plentiful.

I was waiting for that on a Charger forum LOL!! .....and I could never compare it the Charger ( THE musclecar icon )......

Good lookin' car!! :cheers:
In high school, I had a friend who owned a '78 Macho T/A identical to this one...for all I know, it IS this one. It was just this clean back then, he babied the crap out of it.




I only rode in it twice, but man, would that thing flat out RIP! :icon_smile_cool:
I will own a T/A one of these days, it's on my list for sure. :yesnod:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

My Black & gold SE is "loud" enough.....I don't know if I could drive something with big "MACHO" T/A decals screaming at you, unless i was on my way to studio54 in the 70's!!

(there worth big bucks now though  $$$)

If I got one, white with blue trim, interior, and chicken. :popcrn:
