Re: Cool Retro Pics

This is my favorite of the trans am ads. Love this color combo. The early trans ams had a really nice look. I like the front and rear fender flares that 82’s and 83’s had.

I prefer them with the carb instead. None of the hassle with the stupid fuel pump in the tank in 1982-1983. I prefer my cars without all that later stuff. I only wish they would have put th-350 transmissions in the 82 instead of the crappy th200c

I also think this style hood looks best on the trans am. I like the scoop. The later models with the vents weren’t as sleek.
