LOL The guy doing the restore got done about 2 months to soon LOLhere is some pics of it. It started raining so I couldn't get alot I will get some more tomorrow.

Bad ass! Another one of my dream cars!! (Although i'm more fond of the 77-78 because of the movie, it'll still work for me!)

Please tell me it has a CB in it and an antenna ready to be mounted between the t-tops?!?!? I'm ready to grab some cases of beer from Texarkana!

What year is it? 79? I assume its Olds powered? Give me some details girl.......

[SlowM90]

Well it don't have a CB in it! LOL. He owned a cougar before the TA and the story goes he raced like anything that would move and the ONLY thing that beat him was a TA so like a month later he sold his cougar and got the TA. We was going to re-paint it but never did...and the motor locked up on us. Well mom found a guy local who had a TA grave yard! LOL So we had it restored for him it was going to be a birthday present. He thought the car was still in storage! LOL!! I new my mom told me I would die when I seen what my dad got me....soo when I pulled up my heart was beating sooo fast!!! But...dad gave me some new hoosiers for the camaro! LOL Still good!! But I would rather have the TA! The paint has like silver flakes in it..its VERY nice! But im thinking its a 77 or 79 and i do know it has the 403 in it(or it did before the restore). I don't really know much about it since the last time I worked on the car I was like 11! But now she is up and running im excited!!!

T/A = teh secks...NOICE car for sure!! Diggin' the C5 on the black wheels too

Nice car! I'm thinking its a 79-81.... 77 and 78 had a slightly different nose than that one, if you're familiar with smokey and the bandit. Headlights were intergrated in the grilles that year, I wish I had a pic handy....

[Iron Indian]

Heres the 1st one a 1977...



and the second one, it was the Turbo version though, IIRC that was an 1981...

ewww...dont get me started about the vette.... When my mom bought it, it was black...she wanted yellow but didn't like Chevy yellow..so she had it painted FORD yellow...

[dstout]

What!?!?.....Ford yellow.....OMG

[dstout]

Oh...Happy Mothers Day Jess......I know a day late

[speedemongtp]

The vette is gross but i love the TA. Ever since i was little an saw smokey and the bandit i have wanted that TA.

[SlowM90]

What!?!?.....Ford yellow.....OMG

Yes i know! me and my dad have to love her....LOL Dad was VERY mad! He told her..."Your stuck with it now! Nobody will want it knowing its ford yellow!"

[SlowM90]

One reason she had it painted that color was because it matches her tanning salon theme or whatever. Not many people know its not a Chevy color...but I know!!! LOL
