Thanks.

My first MB was an '85 300D....very solid, great car. But you're right! They aren't 'cool' and are friggin' slow.
My buddies sister had a 4.9 turbo Firebird....I was more interested in her than the car
But, I did watch a show last night on History Channell about reviving two old Trans Ams (new carbs, intake manifold, exhaust and
). Neat show.
But it reminded me of just how cheap and crappy these cars were made for so long.
Insurance would be an absolute killer for your (or your folks if they're paying). My suggestion: Wait a few years.
That said, the 1977 Black/Gold Trans Am was a big hit!
