Hello, My name is Rj and I am addicted to Trans Am's...(Introduces and stands up).
This is my 1989 Trans Am GTA! Ever since I was young Trans Am's have been my super car, its my lambo, its my ferrari. I have had the pleasure of owning 7total, but one was special. Very special to me.
The story:
The car was owned by a lady who a man by the name of James bought the car from in the 90's. He also looked apond the T/A as a dream car. The car soon went under the wrench and the modifications begun, but as some times in life. One has to stop and do other things. And soon came his daughter.
Having to then sell the car. Another man bought the car with the ideal of striping it out to buid into a strip car. He never did, except strip her down. I then bought the car for the 1st time in late 1999.
It took 8months to put her together and at the time everything I had to do so. She housed a 350TPI (360HP) from an 85 Vette, Bosch built. Viper red and custom hood along with some other goodies. She looked good and was fast. But I to fell into a position were I had to sell...Heartbreaking cause I didnt want to and regreated it always.
I sold the car to a man who sat on the car for about a year before selling it to a young kid, who had it for a month at best. When the father sold the car!!! I wounder Why? Hummm...
Either way the car ended up going home with James. ;) who now had the car for a second time. And slowly begain to clean up most of the mess the other two owners caused. I ended up coming across James and my car one day and Freaked Out!!!!
"My Car" As I announced it to James when we 1st meet..."Hey thats my car, you got my car"...His look was pricless.
2weeks later she finaly came back home .to me for a 2nd Time
I guess its true if you Love something and let it go, if its yours it will come back to you. And this car was more then love it was a reflection of my soul. I have to say I respect James very much as he understood the meaning of the car, the meaning of any one's car!
Understood the dream and the ideal that breathed before you in the cast of metal. It really is not the car itself, but the value it to you that it has. To me this car has it all time, money, blood, tears, memories, sucesses, failures,love and heart breaks. This car has watched over me as I sleep when I had no were to go. It started everyday when I was broke and had to drive 60miles to school, work and home again.
"It once drove in my daydreams at the age of 8, it hunted the back of my school work-lined in pencil, it then became pictures hung on the wall intill it grew to become sheet metal and a pile of junk in my garage, finaly becoming a breathing dream that I drove through out the best parts of my life. Now with a 2nd chance at the dream, much wizer much smarter and oh so, much more craftier I continue..."
So now that she is Black and Now in Black, picking up were I last left off and never selling her again!!
