After a ton of time weighing the pros and cons, I've decided to sell both of my third gen Trans Ams. This one in particular is an '86 with 34k miles. I am the third owner of the car. The factory options are as follows...

-305 TPI/A4
-Power windows, locks, mirrors and drivers seat
-9 bolt posi rear with rear disc brakes
-Upgraded cloth interior

Anyone reading this that knows me, knows that I restored the exterior this car last Summer to represent TGO at an event in OH back in September. The car was shown alongside frame-off 1st and 2nd gen vehicles, and showed very well. I received a ton of compliments on it. Mechanically the car is 100%...all I've needed to do is complete all the routine maintenance, replace the valve seals, etc. Everything works perfectly. The car needs nothing but a driver. The interior is perfect...no stains, never been smoked in, etc.

Last year's restoration (with less than 1k on it) included...

-Complete repaint of exterior. All ground effects were removed, along with the bumpers, hood, decklid and doors. There are ZERO tape lines...this car was painted right. I had Dent Wizard go over the entire car before painting, to help ensure the straightest possible result. The paint is perfect...it hasn't been painted long enough to have a single ding or nick in it!! No fisheyes...no waves...its gorgeous. FAR superior to anything GM put on this car...

-All 4 wheels have been re-finished professionally...they look like brand new.

-The rear spoiler is a new Hawks fiberglass replacement, with a black crackle-type finish that emulates the original 86-correct finish.

-All-new, correct stripe kit from Phoenix Graphix...with all decals in the right spots, no less Also added the hood bird...

-Professionally re-wrapped OEM leather steering wheel

The car is 100% stock except for the addition of an 86-correct "screaming chicken" to the hood, and an Alpine CD player with an iPod cable hidden in the ashtray. I have dozens of pictures to document what this car looked like before, during and after the work was completed. This car stands tall against frame-off restored cars...its that clean. I have a copy of the writeup Muscle Car Review did of the event, and the car did manage to make it into the background of one of the photos

If you want a beautiful, original Trans Am to get in, turn the key, and drive anywhere from the local cruise night, to a judged car show, to a road trip, this is your car. With no t-tops, its tight and rattle free. With low mileage, everything about this car feels like brand new.

As a sample of pictures I have...

Also, I have a ton of documentation of all the work done, along with a full PHS historical package (including 2 reproductions of the original window sticker), the original owners manual and 2 sets of original GM keys.

I can't believe you decided to sell it. The car is beautiful. GLWS!

I appreciate the wishes. This is not something easy for me to do. At the end of the day, I may keep it if I don't find a buyer. I don't NEED to sell it...I can simply buy a lift for my garage, and keep all of them (SS in sig is coming home at the end of the month). The car is gorgeous in person...pics don't do it justice. This is not a car that looks better in pics...quite the opposite, actually!

5 F bodies is borderline insanity Actually, I'm well past borderline...right???

Hello fishguy! C'mon over to J&E Tool on Route 10 on the Southampton/Westfield line every Wed night starting on April 4th...great local cruise night! I try to be there every Wed...

b3,
Unless you were out this way, or went to the Berlin Turnpike in CT on a Saturday night, you never saw this thing. The closest I ever had it to you was Millbury to visit my inlaws.

KITT,
Car is still under deposit, and still in my garage I am 95% confident the deal is done. I spoke to the buyer again on Saturday, and he was supposed to be getting paid for his truck yesterday. Once the check clears, he's coming here with cash. I will update the thread when the cash is in my hand...

fishguy88

I never knew about the cruise night. I will be there one of the nights in april. When you see my white 91 z28 come and say hi.

Cash is in...in my wife's hands....
