The last Trans Am I bought was a gold special edition in 1979. And that one no longer used the actual Pontiac 400 engine. It used an Oldsmobile 403 cu. in. automatic only engine. While the gold car was nice, I could see the end was near for that car until the mid 90's when the LT-1 engine was available for that car and the Z/28 Camaro. I bought a 1997 Z/28 and I should have got the Trans Am instead, it was a better car than the Z. Still and all, I really like this concept and your build of it too.
