Back when Pontiac was still in business, if you contacted Pontiac about your older Trans Am, they basically stated that they do not have that information, but you could visit other "GM Approved" links of which 78TA.COM was one of the top links provided.

Trans Am Specialties

For 8 Years during this time, I also restored and sold over 100 Trans Ams and sent them to all parts of the US and even places all over the globe such as Japan, Germany, Ireland, UAE and more.

A bit about how it all started...

It all started with the purchase of my second Trans Am back in Summer of 2000.....

Back in 2000, I was working for an Internet company who was releasing a "build it yourself" website program. In order to demonstrate to the customers how easy the program was to work with, I decided to build a website about my Trans Am. As I performed regular maintenance on my car, I would document the process and the next time I was demonstrating the web-program to the customer, I would upload the information about the work performed on my Trans Am. As I learned more information about production numbers and model changes, I would again, upload it to the website. It was about at this point in time, I decided to go out and register an official domain name for the website which I first picked www.hitmantransam.com. Since that name was a little too long to type in, I went out and registered 78ta.com to make it easier to get to and type into the Internet browser. That is how 78ta.com got its start. I kept on adding more and more information about the Second Generation Trans Ams, and got deeper into the maintenance and care of the car. And overtime, as I would do something new or learn something new, it went right up to the website. Once the site started to grow, so did the amount of visitors coming to the site every month. In 2000 it started at about 2,000 people a month who would visit the site for information. That climbed to 10,000 in 2002, in 2008 the website pulling over 93,000 visitors and 3.2 million hits a month and in 2016 the count was up to 6.5 million hits per month from places all over the World.
