"Hi there, nice website, cool pics and info! I thought why not send in my own info about my car. Here's some of the specs and info: It's a 1989 Pontiac Firebird, with a 5.0 liter Chevy 305 V8 engine. The engine is original except for the exhaust. The paint job looks to be original, two-tone colored. The original exhaust has been replaced by a single side-pipe as you can see on the pictures. Also the original wheels have been replaced by 15" American Racing wheels with 235 tires all round. I hope to replace the rear wheels some day with even wider tires and rims.
I bought the car about a year ago, in a horrible state. It nearly died on a farmyard due to lots of rust. Especially the wheel arches were rotten. These wheel arches have been rebuild by a pretty skilled welder from The Hague in Holland. I don't drive it very often but I wait for the summertime to drive again.. Unfortunately there are still some leaks, so the rain will poor straight into the car, on the passenger floorboard.. Seems to be a common problem and still looking for a good fix without having to tear the whole car apart. That's about it! Hope you like it, I sure do! Drives like hell.. :) Better then those crappy Volkswagens and Peugeots you see around here!"

Chris Calinesco owns this 1988 GTA. Chris writes:

"Hey ! Just wanted to submit a shot or two of our 88 GTA . It has the L-98 350 and 700 r4 with a 9 bolt rear end that it was born with. Most of the standard mods are done like headers, stainless exhaust, chip, K&N air filter, T/B air foil as well as a shift kit that makes nice tire chirps when it shifts. I'm working on porting and polishing a set of SLP high-flow intake runners and when their ready to go on I'll be putting a BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a set of Accel 24 lb. injectors. Also installed a new pair of QA-1 double adjustable rear shocks, they are something else and work great with the Eibach lowering springs. I also have a pair of KYB adjustable front struts on the way . I'm hoping to get the suspension and chassis sorted out this summer the move on to the next steps to turning this into a street driven road-race car. I like not having to slow down for curves. Ha! ha! I don't see too many as clean as this one around here (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) but it looks like you guys down south have a lot of nice ones around, from what I've seen. Well take care and keep them running!!"

Two in one month!? I'm speechless. Either you guys are paying attention or its just dumb luck. Bruce Johnson owns this one. Bruce writes:

"Hello, I am a proud owner of a 1990 Trans Am "Blackbird". I bought this car about 2 1/2 years ago. It is stock with a 5.7L, 350 corvette LT1 engine, 5-standard. The only things that I have added to the car was a Sony system with a 10" sub. A cherry bomb exhaust system and a K & N filter. This baby is very fast and would give those ponies a hard time keeping up. Thank you."

Mathias Jaeger owns this 1979 Trans Am. Mathias writes:

"It all started February 14th 1979 (yes: Valentines Day)… My Trans Am 6.6 Litre was delivered on that very day in Ohio and then shipped to Triangle Pontiac in Long Island and then to Switzerland…
Ever since I have seen Smokey and the Bandit, I have been hooked up with this great piece of machinery. Some 30 years later, I finally found a decent one in Switzerland (yes: I am Swiss and live near Zurich). My Pontiac Trans Am has just undergone some major restoration work. More info on the TA over at www.ta79.com!"
