The first owner divorced his wife and she was awarded the car. She parked it in storage for many years. 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 sure grip rear, upgraded brakes with disc in front, rallye suspension, quick ratio steering and performance tires on 15x7 wheels. It also features a light weight fiberglass hood in flat black to eliminate glare to the driver with 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. EXTERIOR: 100% original metal. No rust or significant damage. Other than garage dents and dings it's never been in an accident. Over half the paint is still original. It has several nicks and flaws. The fiberglass hood is original and fits good.

Original dash pad is in excellent shape, only a few very tiny cracks near the speaker. The steering wheel is not worn. The seats are in very good shape for their age, driver's side has one small tear. on the backrest and the fabric separated from the vinyl on the drivers seat part, can be repaired.
