Nice Trans Am. Back in 1975 I bought a brand new Trans Am from Naperville (illinois) Pontiac. It was sterling silver with burgundy interior. Automatic with power windows, air, am/fm stereo with optional 8-track tape player. Screaming chicken decal on the hood too. Engine was a 400 (185hp-wow). Paid $5,375.00 for the car plus taxes. Kept it five years and traded it in on a 1980 Corvette.

I had a stellar blue with white interior 4 speed. Brand new $53500. When I bought it we already had one kid. Then we’ve got another kid on the way,and my wife is babysitting a 4 year old. We learned in a hurry that when our 2nd kid came it wasn’t working. So just before the 77s came out I spotted a brand new 76 safari clamshell station wagon in a light blue with a 455, traded the TA In on that. That wagon would pass anything on the road but a gas station.

I don’t care for the integrated videos much nick but if your gonna do it that way I’d prefer them done just like this one with the test drive first and then walk around. J in prefer the rest drive videos more so than the walk around and that way I don’t have to search thru and find Where I need to start. I’m a Mopar guy so videos with the Mopars I watch both videos and there’s a few other cars I do the same, but I only watch both on the ones I would be interested in buying and hopefully will at some point late summer or so. But it’s all up to you nick, at least get the videos out here in whatever format works for you and I’ll figure out how to make it all work for me buddy, but I just need it available to do that and I’m thankful you guys put any out at all!
