1976 Trans Am

Click the pic! I once took it apart and put it back together again. It's lowered. It has a 455 cu in engine that's huffed with a 671 blower. Its heads are O ringed. It has headers and a Super T10 transmission. It has a fiberglass hood and beefed up shocks, springs, and sway bars. There's a roll bar in the back and fat tires all around and it only gets 5 miles to the gallon of high octane leaded gas. It's very illegal.

A race car mechanic helped make modifications to it. He would grin and make obscene gestures whenever I brought it to his shop. He also taught auto shop at one of the high schools and would drive it there to let his students work on it too.

It makes a whining noise as it cruises the streets and it once leaped across an intersection that was being monitored by the cops. All four feet came off the ground and the red lights and sirens came on. Fortunately, I was a city official at the time and it had an exempt sticker on its bum. They made me promise never to do it again. I vigorously nodded my head up and down and crossed my heart.
