About Historic Trans Am

The intent of the Historic Trans Am Group is to recreate the original Trans-Am racing series as it appeared from 1966 to 1972.

Only cars that actually raced in the Trans-Am Series during those years are eligible to join this group. Proof is required.

Every aspect of this recreation is important. Not only must cars appear as they did in the year of manufacture, they must meet the specifications and rules of the day.

Many opportunities exist to modify these cars beyond their original form and many things have been learned by race mechanics over the years. In preparing a car for this series, one must avoid the temptation to upgrade the car. Cars that have been faithfully restored to absolute authenticity will be selected to participate in current Historic Trans Am events.

Many new racing products are available today that were not available when the Trans Am cars were raced. Use of these components to gain a performance advantage is not allowed. However, using replacement components of exact type and style but of modern materials and strength is encouraged for safety.

The Trans-Am period that these cars are from was one of the most exciting race series ever. This Historic Trans Am Group is not trying to improve on it, only to honor it and represent it well.
