    Crankshaft / Bearing Cap Totally Broke Apart

    Trust me, she's already talked to me, lol. When I got the car I took out the seats etc and detailed the interior. Cig butts were in every ashtray. I'll let you take a look of what was under the front seat and yes, those are condoms I found under the back seats. SMH

    Crankshaft / Bearing Cap Totally Broke Apart

    Gold 1978 Trans Am - Newbie Questions

    I think so (?) I remember reading an article recently that has something to do with headers and reverse lights not working. Did the previous owner install these and forget to plug something back in?

    I'll be following this. I just bought a 78 with a hole with no radio no mounting no brackets no nothing. :/

    Gold 1978 Trans Am - Newbie Questions

    Hello All! I'm a proud new owner of a Gold '78 (non-Y-88) with a 400, auto, Hurst t-tops. I have a few questions that I've mustered up looking over this thing: 1. Looking to change the differential fluid soon. I'm used to seeing a plug on the diff cover that you unscrew or, in the case of my...
