Finally 3rd Gen!

Not new to 3GO nor to fbodies but after years of searching I finally made the dive and picked up a 3rd gen for myself.







Specs:

1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
HO 305 ci V8!!!
195,000 mi
Auto
T-tops


The interior is shot but I plan on swapping interiors with my '97. Needs some basic body work, but it is solid and straight with a very clean underbody for the vintage plus the ttops do not leak!!! I drove the car home from Toledo, OH and got lost on the way. Car runs real strong, making me think the 305 was rebuilt. Does not really matter since I plan on swapping motors anyway eventually.

Here is my other baby, Scarlett. I've been working on this one since 2005.
