Looking for another classic
I'm in the market for a classic car in (cruise-in quality) and have narrowed my choices down to two styles, mid year Corvette coupe 4 speed small block or a 1973 Trans Am (non SD 4 speed).
Just based on what you know of the two cars, which would you choose and why? Thanks |

TransAm. It looked like a refugee from the race track when it was first introduced.

Re: Looking for another classic
I would also go with the t/a
I have a '79 bandit 400 4spd wich i have owned for 22 years. as popular as those cars were you don't see clean one around that oftern. when friends come to the house they pass by the 3 corvettes and talk about the smokey and the bandit trans am.

A positive for these cars for sure was the fact that many couldn't drive and they visited the shops repeatedly. The '84+ cars were quite a treat also. |
