2008 Jim Emmel Trans Am Nationals
 Tim and Susan Owen's mechanically...  Tim and Susan Owen's mechanically modified '01 T/A sports the rare factory color of Mystic Teal Metallic. The Ram Air hood was added later. |  Here's a rare bunch; three...  Here's a rare bunch; three '69 Trans Ams and a '69 convertible Firebird. The T/A in the foreground has redline tires and poverty caps-not a common combo. More than one also has rare optional stacked gauges. |  Kevin Hand's '701/2 Trans...  Kevin Hand's '701/2 Trans Am Ram Air IV was one of only 88 produced that model year. The car was restored by Chuck Huber and Paul Cupp, owners of Muscle Car CPR in Monaca, Pennsylvania. |  Talk about bad luck! We wonder...  Talk about bad luck! We wonder what went through Bill Halsey's mind when his rear glass flew out as he was driving down the road. Thankfully, there were plenty of gearheads there to lend a helping hand as they installed rear glass on his '79 Trans Am. |  A variety of Shaker scoops...  A variety of Shaker scoops were on sale in the swap-meet area. |  The '81 Trans Am suffered...  The '81 Trans Am suffered not only in sales, but also in power, yet it was still a great Pontiac in every other respect. Gary Firch was well aware of this before he purchased his. The 301-Turbo Pontiac was replaced by a healthy 505ci Pontiac engine. Problem solved. |  Steve Hamilton once again...  Steve Hamilton once again brought some choice examples of Pontiac F-body power from his expansive collection. The hoodscoop callouts say it all. |
