Screamin’ Chicken Chasers
About Us
Screamin’ Chicken Chasers © is a family business. We run a small, simple, but honest operation. We buy, sale, and trade.
With over 20 years researching and restoring Pontiacs under my belt, our specialty is late model Firebirds and Trans-Ams.
Years ago, I sold off all my project cars to start a family. Recently, God spared my life in a horrible car wreck. Right before the accident, I had tracked down one of my old Trans-Ams, a 1977 Buccaneer Red hardtop, in order to restore it for my youngest son.
While I was recovering from the wreck, I met another car builder who inspired me to get better. He and his wife are wonderful people and they have become very good and valued friends of our family. God does work in mysterious ways.

A Bird in the Hand…Our Story
This is picture of my old car in the spot we found it.
The hunt for my old 1977 Trans-Am began one Friday with a phone call to the Classic Car Restoration Shop, where I had sold it about 10 years earlier. Over the years, there were a couple of cars that I wish I would have kept. This was one of those cars. At that time I sold it, I was about to move and I knew I had no where to store it and no time or money to finish it.
When I sold the car, it had a clean black interior, its original paint job (Buccaneer Red), as well as, the original Trans-Am stickers including the bird on the hood. I put the only dent in it when we loaded it for the Classic Car Restoration Shop.
When I talked to the shop owner, on the phone, he had found the title, but he thought that I was about three years too late, because he remembered crushing it. He went on to say he had more to choose from though and he would make me a great deal because he knew I would fix one up. Disappointed in the news that my car was crushed, I took my two boys the next day and headed over to take a look anyway.
We went deep in the woods to where he described another red Trans-Am. It was not the year I wanted but, I found my old Trans-Am’s fender sitting in front of it. I took a picture and thought that was the only thing left.
I told my boys that was my old fender. We had passed another red F-body car on the way in next to a blue Formula. I thought that couldn’t be my car because the shop owner had said it was crushed. I had taken a picture of it on the way in anyway. Later that day, as we walked around, something drew my back to that car. I looked at it harder this time. I remembered that my car had the original door molding and some metal mud flaps on the rear tires. This shell of a car was in rough shape. Here I am looking at a shell with a busted windshield, no front cap, no interior and no trunk. I made my way around the back and noticed two Hurst stickers and a local radio station sticker. I remembered that my old car had those stickers on its bumper. It is funny what you remember. This had to be my car! I called the shop owner and asked him to check the title and compare it to the VIN.
I got the call from him the next day. Yes, it was my car! He said it was still in my name since he had turned it into a parts car. My friend and I picked up the car the following week. My youngest son and I cleaned a spot in the shop a few days before.
Just a few weeks after we brought the car home, God spared me in a horrible car wreck. The wreck fractured two vertebras in my neck. Once I started to become more limber, I started to call old contacts and search for parts for my son’s car since I had a lot of free time during my long recovery. As I searched I realized just how time consuming and hard getting parts for those cars had become and Screamin’ Chicken Chasers © was born. The rest is history.
