Looking for Pro Streeted Trans Ams

Tryed a search but I am not finding much. Most of the threads I came across where so old that the pictures dont work anymore.

I'd like to see some pics of Pro Streeted 86-90 Trans Ams. I have a '88 GTA Notchback that needs some major restoration. But seeing as I already own a ( in my opinion of course! ) very nicely built '88 GTA, and that I am a avid drag racer, I was thinking of pro streeting the notch, and keeping my current car for street only use.

If you have any pics could you post them so I have something in inspire me. Thanks!

look for back half threads, there should be plenty of pics or 4 links, etc.

Re: Looking for Pro Streeted Trans Ams

Thanks for the tip. I tryed that but didnt get what I was looking for. Lots of Camaro threads, not many T/A's. So no one has any pics of a 87-90 T/A thats either been tubbed, back halfed, mini tubed, slick&skinney, or any mix of those combos??

Look on www.racingjunk.com for cars that are for sale. There's usually lots of good pictures showing the cars if all you're after is picture ideas.

Re: Looking for Pro Streeted Trans Ams

Thanks guys. I already am a member of racinjunk.com and I look through those pages daily. I went through the Pro Streeted section again last night and found 2 on 43 pages. I guess a tubbed, mini tubed, or anything like it in a 3rd gen T/A is pretty rare, or people just dont take pics of them! lol It just makes me that much more interested in doing my '88 notchback, it will be something you certainly dont see everyday!

Re: Looking for Pro Streeted Trans Ams

tons of minitubbed thirdgens out there. Mine among 4 or 5 others on this site. IMO if you're not in the 8s there is no reason for a big tire on your car. Unless you're a bracket racer but there's no reason you can't be competitive on a 28x10.5

He wants to see a tubbed out firebird while most of the third gens that seem to be tubbed out are camaros.

I've seen very few back halved firebirds. Most of them are full tube chassis race cars.
