Saw this on e-bay. This is my dream car and wow, what a terrific restoration job they did on this one. Wish I had the $$ right now to get it, but someday I will.

My long-time buddy, Pete, has a 1979 Black Special Edition Trans Am with a manual transmission and the T-tops. I think it has about 30,000 miles on it and it's been stored in his garage for many, many years. We used to go everywhere in it during high school and college. Very cool car and a lot of fun.
I was watching a TV show yesterday and they were talking about Trans Ams. The '79 Special Edition is now considered a classic as well as a highly sought after collectors item and should fetch a price in the neighborhood of about $40,000. The original MSRP was only $7,000!!!

Yea, wish I was old enough and had purchased one back then. They are awesome cars... Some day I will have one..

Saw my Dream car advertised on Craigslist again. One of these days..

Ha, I have the Smokey & The Bandit HotWheels if that will help you :D I always thought that was the coolest car, especially with the bird on the front.
-
pow.. right in the kisser
-
Excellent choice in cars Mike.
-
I'm more of a classic corvette or mustang myself.
-
guess you know what my fav is. ;)
-
Well. My HS girlfriend posted a pic of me with my first--and favorite--car. Wish I had this sucker again!!

Also wish the front end was in the shot! Oh well.

Kitch, I had you pegged as more of a "AMC Pacer" or "Pinto" guy. Never would have put you in a baby blue Skylark! Who wooda thunk! O0 O0
-
My first car was a Corvair. My second was a Pinto. I sure had a way of pickin' em. ::)
-
My first was a '57 Chevy stationwagon 210 handyman. I loved that beast. Dad sold it and got me '66 Chevy II Nova. The previous owner put 4 kicker 10's in the back, stillwater 6X9's, Boston Acoustic mid's and high's, and 2 Orion Red Amps. That system would make your ears bleed!!

First of all--OW! Wha'd I do to deserve that! Second of all, not Baby Blue--Darker than that, and metallic. Third of all, Pontiac Tempest Custom. OK, that's still Skylark/Chevelle/Cutlass. Nemmind...
350 2 BBL with floor shift 3 speed and a bench seat. A rare combination that I should've left stock. But I hadda put a 4 speed in it. I eventually had aluminum slotted mags on the back and headers, and a Holly 2 BBL. I miss that car. Oh. I said that.

Is this what you're calling a handyman?

Yep - except it did have windows instead of panels on the back.

Nice Wheels ;D

That's a 1957 150 Sedan Delivery I beleive. The 210 models have the traditional 2 tone fin detail 57's are known for. Belairs had the aluminum inset. The 210 handy man was a 2door, had windows and a back seat, I think the 150 was the same but withour the rear seat. Not 100% though.
-
I had one. It was exactly the same as the artists concept. Color, even the hub caps. I put bucket seats in it and it was great on date nights. Inline six, 3 speed on the tree, what else could you ask for.

Bench seats, cuz buckets are so hard to neck in...OTOH, the lack of rear windows would more than make up for the bucket seats...
What separated the "Handyman" from the vaunted Nomads aside from the ribbed roof and TG?
Googling in another tab...That's tougher with buckets too...
OK. Seems the B and C pillars and the trim between the 2 back windows are angled all parallel in the Nomad, and the B pillar and intermediate window trim are vertical in the Handyman wagon. I'd still have one of those Handyman or PD vehicles! 55 Panel Delivery...327, or even a 283. I still like classic smallblocks.

[Bench seats, cuz buckets are so hard to neck in.]
Yes, but between the buckets was the opening to the entire back. Which was completely open. The back compartment or deck was better for necking. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think you are right. Mine had back windows, 2 door, and a back fold down seat. It did have limited trim - not as much as Bel-Airs. My dad was second owner and when he got it it was all white with the black/grey checker type interior, 3 on the tree. After a few years we dropped in a 350/350 and made it automatic. The best was when we would go get gas at a full service station and watch the attendant run all around the car searching for the gas cap!!

Heres where I got my info...Check out the side trim!

A bit of a Bump here, but decided to break out my very first car... 1966 fastback Mustang with little ole 289. I bought it for a whole $1000.00 in Arkansas where we were living for a while and have kept it ever since........... Now... my 17 year old son has never seen this car move!! It has been parked on jackstands in our last two house garages for 19 years!!!
So, he has expressed interest in automotive career sooooooooooo....time for some learnin'. (Plus I need something to drive, as he stole my Nissan!!)
We rolled it out and dusted off. Now complete rebuild of mechanical items will commence...

YOU KEPT THAT IN YOUR FREAKIN' GARAGE ON JACKSTANDS FOR 19 YEARS!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FOOKIN' NUTS!?!?! Hell, I'd give him the damn Nissan and reclaim that beauty!
-
As we always say BK...."before kids"....things just seem to matter more than first car for a while..... :) Now get to enjoy both eh!?!?
Besides it made a great shelving unit in the garage (just ask the wife!!).
It should be fun to work with Taylor on this little project....
-
As we always say BK...."before kids"....
Well, we got the new Camaro because ANHK...Ain't Never Havin' Kids!! :laugh:
-
Very cool. Look forward to seeing the pictures of it as you work on it.. That is one great looking car...
-
I wouldn't have had the will power to walk past that thing in the garage all that time without putting on the road. I hope you at least sat in the drivers seat and made vroom vroom noises! :D
