I'm gonna go out on a limb, here... I know a bit about the cars
in question. I've acutuall drooled into the cockpit of one of the
pair. I believe they are TR7 bodies with V8 mills. The cars were
intitially built for the original Trans Am series which went defunct
about the time these beasties were ready to compete. I dunno whether
they actually turned laps "in anger" or not. With the flaired
fenders and REALLy fat rubber they are a treat for the eye.
At the time these Trans Am "never was's" were being sold for
50 "large" each (I don't know what he wants for them now). Boy
would one look great in my garage!
