Rick lives in Indiana, I think he was just curious to know if any of the members here lived in Hawaii. By the way, I noticed that this was your first post, welcomt to TAC! If you've been lurking about then you also know that we love pics so show us that TTA!

Hahaha -- better late than never, I suppose... Yes, I live in Indiana, but you are the first TA owner from HI that I've "met". Post us up some pics of your ride the next time you drop in!  |

Aloha! I live in Hawaii and I own a TA, though it might not really count seeing as it's a 3rd gen. But the '74 was, is, and always will be my favorite! Anyway, I'm new to TAC and just wanted to say hello!

Welcome to TAC, navybreese! We'd love to see your 2000, if you have any pictures to post! I'd suggest contacting "Larry in Hawaii" via PM to get him in here, and see what he knows since he lives out there. As you can tell the traffic is a little thin in this section so I don't think we have too many 'birds out there!  |

Welcome to TAC navybreese! Nice to see another HI resident here. I'm sorry to say that I don't have any info on local clubs either. I've been so busy the last couple of years that I just haven't had time to look for them. I believe there is (or was) a "generic" 3rd gen f-body (Camaros and Firebirds) club out in the Pearl City area at one time. I vaguely recall reading something about it on thirdgen.org a while back. If I do find out about any clubs, I'll be sure and post it here.
I don't see many 'birds of any year when I'm out on the road. I've got an '89 GTA. I've seen a late 4th gen near my sister's house, but it's just a base model, not a TA or Formula. I've heard that someone's got a beautifully restored Bucaneer Red '74 TA somewhere up on the North Shore. I've seen some pics of it on another site. One of these days, I'll have to try and track it down, as '74s are my favorite! I know we've gotta have more than that out here. We just need to find them, and if there isn't a club already, maybe we can start one.

The paint had more runs and light spots than would be tolerated by a quality control engineer unless they were on the take (by today's standards). Hoods flopped around and doors rattled.

Hey last1, that 79 your looking at.. doesnt look to terrible.. and a 4 speed to boot.. big bonus. Standard trans always adds to the price of these cars. But for 2500 it should at least run and drive, somewhat. Good luck and welcome to TAC
