Hi Rick,
I was inquiring to know if you would be interested in buying my 1978 classic Trans Am? Yes, it is true that I purchased my TA from Trans Am Specialties in November of 2004 I am sure you guys are still very familiar with all the specifications of the car when he sold it to me. Currently there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I’ve enjoyed my 3 years thoroughly and just feel it is a good time to move forward with selling. The TA is in excellent (not mint) shape, garage kept, runs great and looks sharp. Overall, I’ve bettered and modified it in several ways since obtaining it.
Would you and your business be interested?

Rick,
Here’s a great example that exemplified my initiative to take care of what I had after I received it. I made these word docs just to simply track everything I had to do and wanted to do. The only somewhat major renovation I elected to do was I had a custom dual exhaust installed 2 months ago. (with two classic flowmaster mufflers). When Brett shipped to me it only had a single stock muffler exhaust system. As you open each document you’ll see all the things I’ve done.
If you’re wondering why the mileage is so low since I got it from Brett at TA specialties , that’s because I had 3 kids in 3 and a ˝ years and work 3rd shift---so after I work all night when I come home, I stay home during the day and take care of them while my wife works during the day. Plus, as much as I love driving the car the past two winters, it was driven “sparingly” through the winter months (Dec thru Feb) which would only be considered normal not to drive a sharp looking TA in snow/ice/cold rain. The last thing to add why mileage is very low, is when I did drive to work, my work is only 2.2 miles from my home. So, as you can see my TA has had extremely low wear n tear over the last 3 years. If I’m accurate I believe I put just over 5, 000 miles of driving in almost 3 years….which is by anyones standards is very low.
