hey guys, im a long time 3rd gen man and i have owned many many firebirds. anyway i dont own one as of now but i was at a yard and i found a origional 84 trans am with recaro seats and aero-tech wheels. anyway i knwo that these parts are rare and what not and i came on here trying to find out what they would be worth. the wheels are 15inch ofcourse with the areo ingraved in the lip. no caps. i can get the set of wheels for 100 bcks. the seats are recaros but are pretty well worn and torn down. i think the seat rails are rotted as there was no t-tps on the car and it obviosly sat outside for atleast 5 years. just wanted to get a oppinion on what these are worht and if there was a place that i can find the caps for the wheels. im thinking of doing a knight rider and i already have pmd seats. but the wheels ar every close
Is this the type of car you found?
It is a 1983 DT500.
The 1984 Recaro with the Aero package were black with lower gold pin stripes.
If you go back could you PM me the VIN and take a picture of the cowl plate?
I won three "new" DT500 rims and four very nice used caps for $243.00 on eBay in March 2009.........It's the white caps that could be worth some thing...
An 84 Recaro T/A would not have Aero-techs, they would be equiped with the concave hi-tech turbos, so it may be an 83 as mentioned above.

yes that is the car. it must of been a 83 then they just wrote 84 on it. there are no caps at all in the car but like i said it has the 4 rims and the seats. are there any more specific parts for this car that could be worth salvaging?

The cowl induction piece and actuator were only on these early t/as and may be worth something to someone, theres also a good chance that if it's an l69 (h.o.) motor that the rear end gears are most likely 3.73, too bad gm screwed up the rear discs for 6 years.

L69's were unavailable with the DT500.
The 5-speeds had 3.73 gears.
The Federal Automatics had 3.23 gears.
The California Automatics had 2.93 gears.

i could use the plastic trim pieces off of the recaro seats hedges
