Artifact Overview
The Sports Car Club of America launched its Trans-American Sedan Championship racing series in 1966. Pony cars like the Pontiac Firebird were quick to enter the series. Pontiac borrowed the "Trans Am" name in 1969 for its new high-performance Firebird package. Actually, Pontiac bought the name -- it paid a $5 fee to SCCA for each Trans Am built.
