Default New guy here from IL
Hey, I'm Matt and a new guy on the site. I own a '79 Trans Am 6.6 Litre in Silver w/black interior. I bought the car from my uncle about 5-6 years ago with 12,152 miles on it. It has original paint/decals & interior. I have about 20K miles on car now. I'll try and post some pics later today. I also own a '04 Dodge ***** too which is my daily driver. I'm also will be in the market in purchasing a '01-02 Trans Am WS6 or Firehawk possibly when I pay off my *****.

I fixed them. This site doesn't seem to like my photobucket username very much so I had to post them from another site I had them on.
