SW,

I had a red '74 455 T/A.

I liked it alot, but later I certainly wished it had been a red '73.

What makes this particular '73 your fav?

When I was 13, my neighbor's buddy had a red '73 Trans Am. He used to take me around the block everytime I saw him in it.. Ever since then, I always wanted one. In High School, I had a 2 '76's and a '79 TA 6.6, but they were not a red '73. In 2003 I found this one and spent 5-6 hours everyday after work and all weekends restoring this car, so it means alot to me. I am more careful driving the '73 than my Ferraris or Lambo, it just means much more to me than those cars..

When I was a kid (12) in the early 70's my dentist (and dads good friend) bought a '71 white w/blue 455 HO 4-speed TA. He had a cabin up the McKenzie River Valley 40 miles out of town........I'll never will forget the first ride up there with him. In high school one of my good buddies picked up a red and black '69 Z/28, he was a great driver and memories from those rides made it easy when my best friend in '89 found a Camaro for me, he died 7 years later and I won't sell it for his memory.

I understand your bond with the '73 SW.

SW could ou please post pics of the whole collection ?

Great story, SW. I didn't realize you had done so much work to the 73 yourself. I've had my 79 for 13 years now. It's my 2nd TA and 3rd 79 firebird. Who knows what life has in store for me but I doubt I'll get rid of it. I figure I'll also have something I can do with it or something I can upgrade or change along the way.

Do you have any changes in store for the car or do you consider it done?
