My brotha from anotha motha. Lol.
My very first car was a 1987 Pontiac Trans Am. I absolutely love 3rd Gens. Big fan of 1st/2nd as well. Almost had an identical blue colored, 79 T/A, but the guy I was going to buy it from was T-boned in an intersection on his way to meet me. Fate said I could not have that car :*(
I was big into the thirdgen(dot)org forums back in the early 00's, used to hang with a lot of the NW Indiana/Chicagoland 3rd gen crew. That forum is mostly dead now but it's still online.
Fun fact: I no longer own a 3rd gen, unfortunately. I do, however, have all the ingredients to soup one up if I ever find one worth buying, again. I've got a 700R4 with Corvette servos and a shift kit, a disc brake 9 bolt Borg Warner rear end, and complete TPI setup including computer/wiring harness just collecting dust in my garage, waiting for that fateful day I get to use them again!
