I've been asking some questions on here so I thought I would post some pictures of what I have going on. 78 Trans Am I've had since 1992, second owner. It was a rare optioned car being ordered as a W72 4 speed with 3:42 rear. The only amenities was a/c, being a Texas car,(and the original owner stating it was all he could afford)so it seems there were less than 3 thousand ordered that way. Well I fell victim to the G machine craze back then and bastardized the car with extreme convictions now. Plans were to do the LS engine/transmission swap and then the project stalled and life events took place which brings me to 30+ years later and my questions. I appreciate the info I will gather from here and possibly impart things I have learned during my passion for these cars. I had 5 of them at one time and down to this one and a 77 Formula also aW72 but an automatic. My son and I just recently got the Formula back up and running but it too needs a little attention. He drove that car to high school and he is now 36yo.

Love the color! What are your plans for the car? Are you going to continue in the g machine direction or take it back to stock?

Man I could write a book on this odyssey. At this point I just want to get it back together and driving. I am installing a engine I built for a goldenrod yellow formula 4speed that I pulled before selling to my brother. Approximately 430 horse. I may get a 5 speed transmission though. I still have the original W72 motor . The color is House of Colors Pagan Gold.

While you may have started the G machine craze, at least you were smart enough to NOT sell this car. I wish I was that smart.

I came close a couple times and yes, I'm glad I still have it.
