Default one less trans am on the road

no not mine!, Im sure many of you heard about the Randy Travis wreck. I wonder if was an ls1, parts anyone? do you think it would be worth more than a regular good condition trans am since it was his, or would it be just another wreck?

It is always hard to judge value when it comes to car and celebrities. There could be a few fans out there that would want the car as is untouched and would display it in that condition. To me it is just a parts car. I did not see pictures but if it is fixable someone may want for that that fact it is a semi famous cars assuming Randy owned it. I don’t think Randy was that big of a star in current music to justify the car going anywhere but the yard. In my head the real question would be WTH is Randy Travis driving a 15 year old F body? I mean that is like a 10-15K car tops. I know there not a lot of choices for us guys that like rear wheel drive V8’s but someone like that I would think would be in a 5th Gen or Vett or at least a GTO. Heck he is country singer he should be in a pickup?

Even a 78 TransAm would make more sense to me.

Maybe it was his drinking car. Kind of like we have winter units he has a drinking unit.

the seats i wouldn't even look at, you do bring up a good point though there Gorn, to his fans it could be collectable, but to us, a parts car. I imagined a smokey and the bandit style car when they said trans am, but when i saw that i was stunned!!

^ lmao 69

on a side note- does anyone have a stock rear end they are looking to get rid of? im in need of one, the pinion bearing sounds like its ready to go, had 2 shops listen to it


Maybe the car reminded him of his earlier days?
