Anybody have Trans Am pics?

[smack_talker]

With all this old skool NASCAR vibe going on, I was wondering if anyone had some old pics from the Trans Am series from the 60's or early seventies. I think building a Trans Am inspired Pro-touring car would be very cool.

[jcs]

There is a great book on early Trans-Am history with pics by David Freidman. Looks like you are doing what I did...

I will be going to the Roush muesem this week. I think he has a 70 Boss Trans Am car in there. I will be rolling some video on it.

Probably has something to do with Laguna Seca being 2 miles away...we have a local T/A club (the pozzi's are members).I just posted other pics of my cars in the welcome to the board section...you boys enjoy.

Asking for pictures of T/A cars has struck a nerve...watch what you ask for:eek:

Let's start with the most famous Trans-Am car of all,the '69 Championship winning Penske/Sunoco Camaro driven by Mark Donohue and currently owned by Ken Epsman (who owns the Sam Posey Challenger you see here too:

Rumor is that the vynil top was there to hide the ripples in the roof since it had been thinned so heavilly by acid dipping.

Correct!

Note the pressurized oil fill in the 1st pic of the cockpit of the Penske Camaro...it's located my the drivers side door.That's how Roger figured out how to add oil quickly during pit stops...

If I'm not mistaken I think Smokey did that first on 'ol #13 and I seem to recall seeing it on Smokey's Chevelle as well but I could be wrong on that last bit.

You're probably right,don't know if Roger or Smokey thought of it first.

Will try to dig up some pics of the Yunick Camaro from home...

Yep,I remember that car from both the Sonoma and Monterey events,that pictures was obviously shot in the paddock garages @ Laguna Seca....where was I?:hmm:

I remember that car because it's the only one that runs with it's headlights still in place.

I believe that was two years ago at the historics with all the Chapparels

I wore this on my recent 12/1 Mexican cruise,this was taken in Puerto Vallarta.I love that shirt,I hope you got one!What a blast to see all 7 Chapparal's in one venue!My favorite was the Vacuum car.Got some really great pictures of all the cars (had to move fast because the crowds were huge) and got Jim Hall to sign all my Can-Am books...he was very gracious.

[TZmtrsprt]

I agree that Donohue's 69 is a T/A classic, but I think Parnelli's 70 Boss may be the ultimate Trans Am racer. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Camaro guy thru and thru, but that school bus yellow Boss with Parnelli driving it harder than the Firestone's could take was just great to watch. I went to the real Trans Am every year it ran at Laguna. I remember watching PJ, Gurney, Savage, Posey, Follmer and even guys like Ron Grable in the original AMC/AMX factory effort and Milt Minter in an independant 69 Camaro. Back when racers were racers and the cars were the stars. Ah, those were the days..... By the way, where did you get those cool T/A style lugs? That IS the Trans Am look!!!! TZ

[High Plains Mopars]

That is the approach I've taken with my Dodge. This is the first interpretation with a definate low buck approach. Your looking at $2000 worth of car. No, it isn't the fastest car I own, nor is it the best looking, but it is probably the most fun by far.

[TZmtrsprt]

Great car, High! Is that a 'Cuda hood? I like the 70 Challenger T/A hood myself. Paint it "Sub-Lime Green" and you have a vintage Trans Am look that would make even Sam Posey green with envy! What a great ride to be drivung on the street. Good luck with your project and please keep us posted. TZ

oh yeah now we're talking. look at those rear gumballs. man, those things have to be almost 3 feet wide. LOL

[High Plains Mopars]

Thanks TZ!

The hood is the stock Challenger flat hood. I picked up a cobra jet scoop at a swap meet, added some side panels to it to smooth the transition, and viola!, instant AAR hood.

I agree, I prefer the TA style hood and it will get one at its next make over. Since this was a bucks down, get it on the street exercise, the emphasis was on getting it presentable. I've since added large front spoiler of aluminum sheet that looks just like the Posey TA spoiler.

Next go round will see some 17" minilite style wheels, improved suspension geometry, engine set back and drop down, roll cage install, interior make over, some fiberglass body parts and a color change.

I had a local machinist buddy of mine make them from stainless steel bar stock.$400/set of 21 (one extra).Phil Schmidt (PSE Enterprises) sell them too but they are made from mild steel and are zinc-plated.

Thanx for the positive comments, the wheels are Bonspeed Huntingtons, they are 18 x 12 with 345/35-18's on the rear, 17 x 8's right now up front, they are going to weldcraft soon to be widened to 9.5's for some 285-40's.

Yeah man... Smoky Yunick's car is just simply timeless. 50 years from now, that thing will still look just as mean and relevant as it does today. Bad A$$ car. I wish I could get the cajangas to paint mine two tone... that is sharp looking.

I agree, Yunicks car is a timeless look...almost looks too good to be a race car.

[Damn True]

Silly trivia: Yunick went to work with Ford when a buddy of his at GM jumped ship. Legend has it that there was a Boss 302 Mustang that he built in similar fashion as the #13 Camaro.

Anyone seen it?

[High Plains Mopars]

Check out the April issue of Car Craft. They have 5 pages of vintage trans am and can am racers. Very cool, but not nearly enough ink.

[71dusterdan]

i second the call on the book by dave friedman, "Trans Am, the pony car wars" 250 pages of trans am from the beginning and the 64/ 65 darts, way cool and low buck through the end of the era 73 or so. That book is my playboy magazine! doh, did i say that, now everyone thinks i am a homo. i like girls just as much as everybody else really, i just love cars more! my wife hates me!

[Blitz]

We didn't think it till you said it. Ha ha.

Have to agree with most, the Smokey Camaro is my favorite of the series. I keep a scale model of it on my computer desk. It would look good as a converted ProTouring car some 40 years later. Geez, can you believe that? Just plus size the wheels and it fits Right in here, not that it doesn't already.

Here's a link to the Jerry Titus Trans Am Firebird now owned by Linda Mountanos, http://www.historictransam.com/Drivers/LindaMountanos.htm

Without intentionally trying, my car has evolved into a Firebird with the Trans Am look. It didn't really occur to me how much it looked like those cars till I got tired of making crappy #'s out of tape for NASA HPDE road track weekends and had #'s made on vinyl stickers. Now I sticker it up for track days with windshield banners etc. for track days. Sometimes I leave just the #'s on and drive it on the street like that. The parking/turn signals are now in the headlights which are protected by headlight grills so the orig park/turn openings can be used for brake ducts.

All of these were taken during the '07 Wine Country Classics in Sonoma.

Great pics! thanks for sharing John.

[Project69]

Wow my stomach sunk when i saw the after pics of the sunoco camaro.

[JEFFTATE]

There is a great book on early Trans-Am history with pics by David Freidman. Looks like you are doing what I did...

[TonyL]

OMG. the sunoco car!!! Ouch!

OMG. the sunoco car!!! Ouch!

...Our absolute thoughts as we saw it unfold before our eyes.

Jimmy told us afterwards...as the car was drifting out of control...his only thoughts at the moment were "Not this car...God,not this car!"

I was in the paddock after the event and snapped several shots that physically make me ill to look at.I gave my word to Kenny that I would not post those pictures.
As bad as it looks,the car is being repaired as we speak (may have possibly already been completed) and knowing Ken Epsman,that car will be back as strong as ever.

Please understand these cars are being run harder then ever and being as careful as possible doesn't mean stuff doesn't/won't happen...

Been watching these cars run over the last 10-15 years or so and that was the first time I've ever seen that car run.The picture of the trim tag I posted was of this car...and it was for sale as well.I want to say $75K but I could be wrong.
It was one of the only single-4bbl cars running.

Where do you get the little springs that sit around the hood pins at? I like that idea.

Not sure about the springs but I have used a little bit of heater hose on cars in the past.

[oestek]

Lots of power brake cars I see. Interesting. I love this stuff!
