This owner traded in his VW Bug for this awesome ’71 Pontiac Trans Am when he was 18. We say that was a wise move!
Paul Wallace bought this pristine Poncho at age 18 and has never looked back.

Here is what he had to say about his Trans Am…
“I’m now at 65 years of age, and I have owned this car’s second owner. I bought it from a Pontiac dealer when it was a mere 5-years-old. I was just 18 at the time and traded in a Volkswagen Beatle for the purchase! The car was driven one winter and then started storing it for 2 winters before I stored it permanently for the next 40 years. I decided to pull it out of storage and restore it back for my retirement to once again enjoy it.”
