Full (boring) story is I went for a drive last weekend, ran across that sign which I thought was funny and happened to get caught by a train in a spot I though was kinda cool at the right time of evening so I hopped out to snap some pics.

Some great photos of a really good looking TA. A very wise decision not to emulate Burt’s jump in Smokey and the Bandit.

I could tell you a story that took place in 1973 with a 73 Trans Am, where a 19 year old kid took his TA airborne. The results were not good.

Very nice and I would agree, wise decision. The things we did when we were 18 would put me in jail now. Lol

Great Pics!  The car looks awesome.   I also think you made the right decision. 
If you want to jump something...get an old Ford to bend up.    :-P
