In \na few short years it became the ultimate American automobile showdown, \nas each major automotive manufacturer participated heavily in the \nTrans-Am Series. When the modified muscle cars of the series were seen \nperforming well on the country?s finest tracks, fans wanted a model of \ntheir own in the driveway.

Seeing them in \ntheir ?full competition? versions when they were new will bring back \nmany fond memories for those who were fans of this series.
