My dad had a '79 Trans Am for a while. So much fun, and they're awesome cars.

Welcome to our humble abode mate. I'd say your ride is quite oppoish actually, even though many on the FP would say it's a car that grandmothers would drive. Here on oppo we're all friends and love all cars, the main thing is that the owner likes the car actually.

So once again, welcome mate. Feel free to say whatever's on your mind. But don't be a dick :)

Ps. Seriously, DON'T be a dick, that's the first (and probably only) rule on oppo.

Welcome to oppo!

The best part is the 400; the worst part is no T-tops :p

No really, nice car though :)

I'm Andy (or Anders to my friends), and I drive a '97 Civic, so you've beaten me when it comes to cars :)

Hi, welcome to Oppo! You must be confused with all these people screaming "Bandit Bait." I'm Bandit, and I own a 1981 Trans Am Y84 Special Edition that is my first (and only) car. I am converting to 1978 spec (Rebuilt Pontiac 400, new nose, new trans, etc.). http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/tag/emma People post pictures of 2nd gen trans ams and label them "Bandit Bait."

That trans am you posted, 7 inch wide rims on a WS6? I like the fact that you chose a T-top-less car to build for power. I'm sure all of oppo would love to see more about the car in the future.

Thanks for the info and the welcome and yes they are 7 inch rims

Excellent mods to your Sable. Always refreshing to see tasteful and appropriate mods that actually improve the car and/or bring it back to factory condition. You've given me a bit of a kick in the ass to do similar things to my DD (replace/upgrade cabin air filter, engine air filter, and plastidip some worn exterior trim in particular).

And nice TransAm. Looks mint. Love those tires. You gotta get those on yours, Bandit.

Welcome! I'm to young to drive. I love Saabs and recently found an 9000 aero for my Dad that is for sale ( he buys things and sells them 6 months or so later for a profit). My Dad had a 79 real black& gold Trans Am for a while, but then that was sold as well. Ours was all stock. I guess if you havent figured it out yet 190e30's my brother.
