Where did you come up with pre-1976? That's B.S. IMO. So my 1978 Trans Am can't be a PT car?
=============================
Thanks for the comment, Your Trans AM is or they definitely can be Great PT cars. The TA's and the Camaro's were about all there were back in the later 70's (Other than the Vettes) that still has the roots of the earlier cars. Look at the Mustang II's that came out. Ouch, Ford really lost their way on those I think. The "F" Bodies were the exceptions.

The old Nova's, Monte Carlo's, Chevelle's, Torinos, Grand Prix's, Comet's, Falcon's, Sebring's etc. etc. (The list is very long) were just absent other than some emasculated shells with just the name left on them. I had a 1979 T/A, and my Dad drove a 78 T/A, and yes those were and still are cars with visual and litteral PT/Hotrod/Kick Ass roots.

I just chose 1976 because at least GM went through a profound change in their styling and performance of 95% of there offerings. Even the Vettes of the mid 70's I think were lost and still are. Look at the price for the 74-79 vettes. They are still not thought much of.

My overly broad statement did not include the exceptions to the rule. that was a mistake on my part, no offense intended.
