* - I had this car back in the 80's. It got about 9 mpg in town, hence the "don't care about the environment".

** - Of course not final sales price and this car, I assume, is in "mint" condition / restored etc



Pontiac Trans Am

1. It comes with a cowboy hat and memories of the car one did not have in '79. The price for buying back ...

... one's youth is a very stiff price.

I want an early sixties Dodge Dart slant six convertible in blue. My youth wasn't such an expensive proposition. And I wasn't in much of a hurry back then.

6. Get my hopes up and then you pull the rug!!! That is a beauty, though, isn't it?

2. This* is hands down the least comfortable car I ever rode in, front or back seat.

* Firebirds are included in this designation, since they were so very nearly the same car.

3. With the screaming chicken on the hood..

I have no clue why this thing would be worth so much. To each his own.

7. It's not.

You can get a lot of antique car for $135K.

4. I dated a guy who had a similar car and when I stopped seeing him I missed the car more than him!

9. Way too much money.

10. Stupid money for a terrible car.

I get it, nostalgia for the "car you lusted for in your youth" or whatever. Sometimes, heroes are better left unmet. I see that 6.6 sticker. That means that boat anchor made all of what, 200 horsepower? Sure, low miles, looks like 11,500 from the ad. 11,500 miles of literally doing nothing well. This isn't even the Bandit year/version of the TA.

However, even after all that, if it's your money and it's what you want, enjoy!
