I use to belong to some Trans Am clubs in the '80's, and have seen quite a few. Of coarse, it was the Los Angeles area, which is a big area.
I don't have any pictures right off hand though.
I'm sure if you look thru the Pontiac magazines during those years, you will probably see some photos of them.
BTW, I thought you were going to stop by some time?
You still moving out this way?

Well, there is another "UPS Brown" GTA getting ready to disappear, mine is going to be repainted. I think that color is awful.
