1979 Pursuit Trans Am (WS6) v1.1

by Jason G Trusty

FYI - I am now a member of Max's Track Studio. I will be developing cars and tracks for that site. Feel free to check out our works in progress at http://members.xoom.com/Dmaaaaax/default.html

*NEW* in v1.1 - added support for German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and French versions of NFS 3

To install the Trans Am - 

Just unzip the file to a temporary location. Paste the 79pt folder in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed III\GameData\CarModel\place here.

NOTE - if you want this car to pursue you in pursuit mode you must overwrite an existing pursuit vehicle in Traffic\Pursuit\0000 - 0005 folders of your NFS directory

In your car menu you should find 1979 Pontiac Trans Am (WS6).

Car Registration Number 44_00 (Possible conflict if you are using other downloaded cars)

The 1979 Trans Am had an optional WS6 package that included 1" anti-sway bars, 13:1 close ratio steering box, 3.73 posi rear end, 4 wheel disc brakes, and could house 8.5" deep dish rims at all four spindles. I was lucky enough to purchase one in 1986. I rebuilt the car from the ground up. Enhancements included 8.5"x11.00" deep dish rims, 4.10 posi rear end, high performance 400 Pontiac engine balanced and blueprinted, ¾" race cam, 10.5:1 compression semi-dome pistons, 30cc shaved heads and intake manifold, headers, 2 1/4" dual exhaust, 700R4 transmission w/ manual valve body and shift kit plus many more…

In 1995 the car was destroyed by a drunk driver while I was out of town. This project is an attempt to ressurrect my 70’s muscle machine so she may live again…

Therefore, attention to detail was a critical factor while designing this car…

The mesh is completely new, the performance has been completely redone to handle like the original (which it does), the interior dash is new, and the load screen is new and the audio is completely new (thanks to Pat Wisselo)…

I hope you enjoy driving her as much as I did when she was the real thing…

Sincerely,

Jason G Trusty

Thanks to all the programmers for making the software that enabled me to contruct this car...
