Definitive Trans Am Guide 70-81 book by Rocky Rosella
 
If anyone else besides me waited too long to pick this book up before it went out of print, I found a source for copies at a reasonable price. Everyone on Ebay and Amazon seemed to be asking $100+, but I found a source in Biblio.com who still has 25+ copies left for $50/ea.

Edit: July -looks like the seller noticed our little buying spree and adjusted the price of the remaining books up +$295 :(

Anyone who wants to know more about these cars should buy this book. Few people know more than Rocky.

(But seriously, it is a great book if you can find a copy)

Also, the 67-69 book is also out of print, but used copies are relatively easy to find for less than $35. The author, Rocky Rotella, still has a few copies he was going to sell at shows and swap meets in 2020, but didn’t for obvious reasons. I got a hard bound copy from him for $25 plus shipping. https://www.pontiacv8.com/blog/2020/...-plus-shipping

I'm rather young compared to a lot of folks who watched that show, but when I was a kid in the 90's I have fond memories of staying up late to watch Rocky and Bullwinkle with my dad inevitably falling asleep until I "accidentally" woke him up when Twilight Zone would come on and he'd say I needed to go to bed......thank god, that show scared me to death for some reason.




BTW I bought this book from Amazon when it first came out and even emailed Rocky a bit, he's a very nice normal guy.

He is also a great tuner. He has a distributor mcahine and set up the curves on both my HEI's for my Gramma's Firebird and the Black 455HO. Really improved the performance.
