'82 Auto Sport Article - TRANS AM....

Hey... I was going through some of my dad's old car magazine that he found. I saw this in an '82 article in Auto Sport.. thought someone may be interested.

Sorry I had to cut it up, but its the only way to make it small enough and still readable.

Interesting. Yesterday I was just commenting on how my vents can't seem to blow cool air. It's either hot, warm, or tepid.

Speaking of magazine articles... Does anyone have the June '83 Car&Driver article where they compare the HO Z28 with the mustang. I guess the HO Z28 came out way ahead. I would love to read it.

anyone!

I used to have the C&D with that article, bought it at a flea market. Now I can't find it anywhere. The Camaro whipped the Stang for 83.

The car could be a Trans Am. Some of the early 1982 LG4 T/A's came with a flat hood.

I can just make out the aero piece in front of the tire. An early T/A. It has a wing to, but that alone does'nt mean it is one, but ........
