Why is a T/A so special? They were a very limited production, high
performance car based on Dodge's Trans Am race car. Only 1,411
automatics and 989 4-speeds were ever made. It was only a 1 year
production. It's not just a 340 car with a 6 pack and fancy decals
slapped on it. The engine blocks were actually unique to this car,
built stronger. It also has special heads, modified valve train and
3 holley carbs. The burnt fuel is let out through a low restriction
exhaust that exits in front of each rear tire. The rear tires are
taller to give clearance to the side exhaust which also gives the
car a cool stance. Other features include a 3.55 sure grip rear,
upgraded brakes with disc in front, rallye suspension, quick ratio
steering and performance tires on 15x7 steel wheels. It also
features a light weight fiberglass hood in flat black to eliminate
glare to the driver, an air intake scoop and racing pins. Special
stripes, emblems, pop up gas cap, racing mirror, blacked out grill
and new dove tail spoiler make it look the part. This one was
