I'm going to lock this by the end of tomorrow due to non-third-gen content, but I can't hold this in any more.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cooooool!

 

Yeah but after looking under that hood, I say it needs a 406 with a fuel injection system and twin garrett turbochargers on a 406 with brodix heads and a seat bottom made out of Depends !

Rotflmao, I know you'll keep it all stock Chris but man would that be a fun lifelong project car or what !!!

 

It's beautiful Chris!!!:hail:

 

Wow nice car. i luv it

 

Chris, you need to send me some more pics via email. Put that 5 gig camera to work.

With that being said, you know what is going to happen when an admin (or Bruce!) sees this thread. You are such a bad man for posting non-third gen stuff. J/K

Oh, and IBTL.

 

I'd like to see those pics Tom, if he sends you some.

 

I towed it home from Minnesota because I was in the neighborhood for x-mas. Turns out our families only live 20 miles from each other, talk about a coincidence! It really is an amazing car. Only 33k on the clock and it's 24 yrs. old. What a cool piece of history really. The full size bird just does it for me!

:hail:

 

We demand more pics, there is no reason to lock this thread.

For petes sake there are ford guys as members of this board posting fartstangs and I have even viewed threads with riccer pics.

Locking down the thread would be like locking out family.

Nonsense!

 

Wow, havn't even been a mod for 3 weeks and I've already made a name for myself! WooHoo! But alas, I cannot bring myself to lock this thread. I've been waiting for Chris to get some pics of that car up! I too want some pics of that car! Stick my e-mail next to Toms...

Hopefully no one will lock this thread. Being as I am a mod on this board, I vote to keep it open.

I have not seen any threads with either Mustangs or imports pics. I know that I will not allow it on my regular boards. Being as this is a regional one, we are allowed A LITTLE more room to play with. Just do not get carried away.

Chris, how about deleting the pics after, say 2 weeks. Maybe post a link to them on your site. This is just a thought.

 

Agreed. That sounds like a mighty fine idea... My vote is open as well. Heck, sticky it! (j/k!! )

 

Agreed, keep it open!

 

I had a hard time sleeping last night. I kept wanting to run out and put the drive shaft back on it and take it for a spin

I've wanted this car since I first saw it in '85, and to see it parked out in front of the house is fantastic.

I'll get photos up ASAP. I HAVE to work today, but I should have some daylight left this afternoon to get the DS on and get some pictures of it in the sun.

C

OK one more from last night..

 

Another teaser pic!

 

Glad to see you finally got it.

 

Once I can drive my car anywhere but to work and back I'll have to make a trip out to your neck of the woods to see her up close and personal

 

Cool! can't say I'm a fan of the wheels or the bra, but the screaming chicken is totally badass! I think it's only appropriate to give you the rock on smiley, so here you go: :rockon:

So which one comes to the gatherings?

 

Thats one sharp car. :rockon:

 

Ok, I got a little done this afternoon. It starts and runs, pulls like nobodies business, and sounds like it has an exhaust leak on the drivers side.

I found a couple more things that need attention, but I did get pictures taken.

The last picture is not resized. You'll see every flaw in that picture.

I'll see if I can't buff the front end out, but it will probably need to be repainted. I hated the bra on it as well.

The wheels stay. They are kind of cool in person. Like the rest of the car they are filthy, but repairable.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

*sniff* That *sniff* is beautiful! *sniff* I'm jealous! *sniff*

 

I couldn't have said it any better!!!

 

that looks like a nice i like it

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: Gotta love the '80 Indy! Awesome car you got there!

 

When I was at work today I walked out to the parking lot and there was a guy waiting outside in a metallic-blue 79' TransAm. I went up to talk to him (Well, he just happend to be there ) and he told me he was pushing a 402 in that beast. Had the big FireBird on the hood, too! Gah, that was a pretty car!

Sweet the first gen TTA...

 

that is a 2nd gen, not a 1st gen.

1st gens were '67-'69

2nd gens were '70-81

that above is a '80.

 

I think he means its the first appearance of the TTA.

 

Yeah you got me there I have no clue what I was thinking...



What gen is my car?
