Hey, isn't it you and your dad that saw the 69 judge on the side of the road? Man, you guys get around. 

Yep, 70 judge. He's a garbage man so he gets around quite a lot in his truck.

I found this amazing vintage car salvage yard about 30 mins from my house. I was looking for some Tri5 parts, but stumbled on the Fbody section. Found some cars that need to be restored!









I got some sheet metal, trim and a steering wheel for my 55, but I will 100% be back and will probably start buying and selling parts from his place. His prices are very reasonable and I'm certain that I could find some really hard to find parts.

[roadking77]

Good find. I think there are lots of finds in your neck of the woods now. Nothing around my area has anything older than about 1980 at this point.

Nice find Ryan, i wish this place was close to me!

Check out the rear bumper on that early red car. Definitely worth grabbing.

That entire car is worth grabbing. To bad they let brush grow around through the cars...

[tajoe]

I would agree about the entire car, Jack. but at this point in our lives, how many of us have room, or need another "restoration" project?

Saturday May 20th was the Cruisin Tigers Pontiac Club monthly meeting. Except for Pontiac daily drivers most members only bring their cars when the weather is decent.

This is an original owner 1975 Formula. The owner said this car has outlasted several marriages! Originally came with a 170HP 400 hundred and four speed. Obviously custom paint. Now has a Butler built 462. Five speed transmission, much better brakes and suspension. Sorry I didn't take more or better pictures.

1981 Turbo TA, I did not talk to the owner, looked to be 100% stock.

Not a Firebird but I liked this 1964 TriPower Four Speed GTO. I talked to the owner who had one during the mid 60's. Everything about this car was perfect, other than the wheels looked like it was driven straight from the dealer. The owner said his original GTO wasn't anywhere near this nice. Sorry I didnt take more or better photos, I snapped these real quickly before the meeting. After meeting got deep into conversation and forgot about taking pictures.

All caught up!

I didn't actually see this one but my cousin hauls cars back and forth from southern Ontario to the east coast and he brought this back to Toronto. The buyer paid, around $20,000.00 Canadian for it, and apparently, it needed work but it wasn't too bad. It's a 1980 Trans Am (obviously) that came (not sure if still has) with the 301 4 barrel built in Norwood, based on the VIN number.

Saw this guy on my way home from work the other day. I 95 just north of D.C. Looked original, pretty decent shape missing the whale tail. I know the earlier 3rd gen cars not quite sure of the year on this one. Def a GTA, did not see a third brake light but I dont think they made these in '85 (light may have been in the wing). I didnt think the GTA's came out until at least '87 or so.

[Nexus]

Hmmm... I thought the GTA's came out in 88?

Nice looking car though!!

[roadking77]

'88 sounds right. I am guessing the third light was in the spoiler only.

[TA301]

I am yet to see a 1979-1981 Trans Am or Firebird in ANY car show in southern California over the past 10 years. I stopped daily driving my 81 TA back in 2000 and even then, I would only see one once a year. They must be truly rare in my part of the world.

[roadking77]

I rarely see any trans ams at shows in my area. A lot of the time I am the only one. I was at a show a couple of weekends ago and there were maybe 150 cars. There was a 65 GTO, a 56 Pontiac, my sons 04 GTO a G8 sedan and my trans am. That was it for Pontiacs. As we were leaving a fourth gen trans am was coming in.

Last year at a big all pontiac show the contingent of second gen birds was uncommonly light. Again out of about 200 cars I think there were less than 20 second gen trans ams. Show is in a couple of weeks I am curious how the turnout will be.

[TA301]

The rarity applies to the 1980-1981 Camaro too. Can't recall seeing more than one in the past 10 years. as well.

OOOOHHHH... I saw a blue 77!!!!!!

Couldn't take pictures but I almost got into an accident as I was mesmerized by it passing me!!!

I have never been so excited to get passed by anyone before!!!

I pointed at the car on its way by and gave him the thumbs up!!!!

[roadking77]

We will let you slide without a pic considering the situation   Good to hear from you!

[tajoe]

Yeah, Charlies done better than me. At least he's "seen" a second gen. Slim pickins now-a-days.

[b_hill_86]

Does this count? Saw this running errands the other day lol

[kentucky yeti]

Spotted this GTA in the wild today. One of my favorite Trans Ams. White third gen is awesome, GTA even better 

[FormTA]

That is a beauty!

[Nexus]

I have always had a soft spot for the GTA's in any colour combination!

That one looks mint!
