I'm caring for my late son (8/2/79 - 11/1/2008) Craig's 2000 Ram Air TA currently with 72,700 miles (10/23/09). All of the mods on the car were installed by Craig even though he was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had a Double Lung Transplant on Sep. 18, 2005. Craig also has a 1989 Black Trans AM GTA which he did numerous mods to in the years prior to his lung transplant, at times he had to use Oxygen to breath while working on his car.
Craig had been looking on line and locally for months for a Black 1998 - 2002 TA when he found the red 2000 TA. He purchased the TA in Sep. 2006 at a local dealer. The car was bone stock except for the strut tower brace. The car had 53,000 miles on it. The last time he drove it on Jun. 27, 2008 it had 70,500 miles on it.
