I've always wanted a TransAm. I was looking at a GTA a few years back, it was a 90... I think... but the car was almost immaculate. It had about 69000 miles on it at the time (1999), new rubber, and the dealership fixed a few minor things in it. They were asking about $7G for it. I wish I had taken them up on it.

I see a lot of the GTA's running around here in Portland, and they are beat up. I wish people would do a better job at taking care of the,

Isn't that formuala one the last of the TA's, like a 2001? I'm not big on the color scheme, but they sure are nice cars.

stone thats aCETA (collectors edition trans am) whichis a t/a....there were aVERY VERYsmall handfull of ceta's that were formulas

hey, the guy made me another one, i told him i wanted to blow it up and make a poster...here is the other one...i should get the high res within a few hours

That sounds like it would have been a sweet deal. Back in '01or '02a guy, who wasa family friend of a girl I knew, wanted to sell me his '92 Z28 for $4K. Ishould have picked that one up because that car was in great shape. The miles were right around 60K and the body was straight. It had a fewflaws but nothing thatwas expensive or hard to fix. I think he might still have it, I should get ahold of him.

I've always wanted to get a '78 or '79 Camaro Berlinetta and do a complete restoration on it. Don't get me wrong, I would alsolove to have a '67 or '68 too but I don't see very many of the late 70's rolling around anymore.

Yeah, that one I put up in the picture is a 2002 which is the last year they made any of the F-bodies. I like the paint job on that car but I think I would have to get rid of the pinstriping on the side. I can't wait for the new Camaro to come out. I might just have my mid-life crisis 20 years early!!

I forgot to add that they only made 2000 of the yellow collector editions T/A's and were only available in the 2002 year model.

Hmmmm. I thought 2001 was the last year for the T/A's and Camaros. Shows you how much I know. The reason why I thought that was because in 2001 I was buying a 92 Grand Prix SE from a Pontiac dealership that had one in the same color and they told me that that was the last year they were building them. I kinda wish I kept the Grand Prix as a toy.

well im sure the 2002s came out in mid 2001 so maybe thats why u thought that

I bought the car in April of 01. Manufacterers do some strange things though.

Yeah, it was definitely 2002. I had dealers pushing that line on me when I was checking them out. They were trying to sell them based on the singlefact that they won't be around anymore. I knewGM wouldn't last too long without the F-body line.

Thanks for the info and corrections on my failing and aging memory.
