11-12-2008 This is pretty cool.  An artist in New York City sent us this letter:

I'm an artist in NYC and I received a grant to produce a sculpture at the largest sculpture park in NYC.  Below is the image of the piece.  It's 17 ft tall and it's a trophy of a 1978 Trans Am.  Thought you might be interested in posting this on your message boards for those in NY the area to visit.
 
Work is at Socrates Sculpture Park

05-17-2008 The 76 Bandit Trans Am shirt arrived in the mail today, and it's great!  It's so hard to find a 76 on any kind of shirt.  The company is working on the rest of our models, so everyone should be able to order a shirt with their year model, and the town or city they live in on the bottom.  Here's mine - George (Click on the pictures for a bigger ones)
