Yes, At one time, I owned a 1981 NASCAR Daytona Turbo Trans Am. I co-signed with the wife (at the time) to buy it, and it was her car. We got it when she was one year old (The car, don't get any ideas! ), and about a year later, tracked down, and bought, the original decal kit (owner's kit) that was to come with the car. I then installed them myself. She got some small time in HPP magazine (by being in a couple of photos), and I even wrote a letter to Popular Hot Rodding magazine, and sent in photos of her, and they published the letter with the photo. I got tons of replys from owners of the same car, and even have these letters with photos to this day. Years later, after getting the divorce, I bought the car from the ex, as she had it parked outside her apartment, and a druck crashed into it! I kept it for a few years, but didn't have the time or space to fix her right, and sold her. I miss her (not the ex). George

Sorry to hear the car met such a sad end.
I love those 80 and 81 Pace cars.

A guy up in Northern California bought it, and was going to restore it. He sold it, without finishing it. Who knows what happened to it. I sure wish I kept the car, at least the seats. ;D George
