How did we get it?

I did a search on the Internet, where I found it for sale at a dealership by the name of 

http://www.happycarz.com/ owned by John Meyers of Warrensburg, MO and Chris 

Brannon, located in Mountain Home, Arkansas. As you can imagine it didn't take long

for JoLeen and I to decide that "THIS IS THE ONE"!

 

I arranged the purchase and then had to figure out HOW to get it to MESA, AZ.

 

JoLeen and I had already planned to Anniversary vacation which was a Cruise to the 

Caribbean returning back to Ft. Lauderdale. So we changed our plane tickets to fly into

Memphis, TN instead of going straight home. We had the Trans Am trailored to Memphis

from Arkansas and it was delivered to us at our Marriott Hotel in Memphis. Here are the

photos of when we first got a look at our new car. When it rolled out of the trailer it only

had 19 miles on it. It's truly an AWESOME car!

This was our first glimpse of the car still inside the trailor. JoLeen is trying to get a good look.

   

 

  

 

The above photos show our car being unloaded by the driver and his wife who delivered it

to us in Memphis. Of course I just have to check it over to make sure it make the trip in fine

shape and that the car was everything I was told it would be. It IS GREAT and just as the

seller had represented it to be! PERFECT!

 

Of course since we were in Memphis we also had to spend a day at GRACELAND visiting

Elvis's home place and we took the T/A for a drive down BEAL Street in Memphis. One of 

the true beginnings for "street JAZZ". It was a GRAND day for both of us. 

 

UPDATE: 12/10/05

Here is the T/A as I was showing it off at a local fund raiser Car Show

   

 

Well that's it for now! Check back often for more updates and more photos.
