The graphics on this one aren't present, and the picture isn't clear enough to see if the grille is diamond-grid (1977) or honeycomb (1978). This car should probably be four stars, BTW. It factors pretty heavily into the movie, and for a while this car is all the audience knows the killer by (since the killer spends nearly all of the film unseen). -- Last edit: 2007-02-03 00:49:15

Nightrider ◊ 2012-02-13 03:07	Once again: no Trans Am graphics, no air dams.
