MR. JORDAN, great color. Don't see very many yellow thirdgens around. Go for the wheels too!

Scott, I've never seen your car here before, but let me just say, it looks very nice. That LT1 sure has a nice home, looks like it shoulda come that way from the factory.

FlyinLow89, always a pleasure to see your ride. Beautiful car, beautiful color.

86FyrBrd . . . just when I thought I'd get in here before you had the chance to post another pic of your car . . .
J/J man. Great looking car.

cg91ta, you have one of the best looking t/a's I've ever seen. Fierce lookin' stance.

ONEFORMULAOVERALL, I'm envious. You have one of my favorite formies on the board.

Tom Keliher- performance before looks, just the way it should be
86FyrBrd- Best looking Bird I've seen
Scauffiel- With paint you will rival 86FyrBrd
Flyinlow89- Beautiful color
Scott's85T/A- Very clean
Formula8- Had to have a black one
KrapsTA- overall nice bird
QwkTrip- gets all his points on engine alone.

Can't think of 2 more I really like.

Thanks for the compliment... I most certainly do have more pics.







46,000 miles and she still feels new
You've got a really nice convertible there... It'd be really sweet to own one. You've got a rare bird too. The first shot could've been used in a Pontiac ad back in the day.

BTW, I noticed that your rear taillights are faded with the PONTIAC lettering. E-Mail Kazoosigns@bigpond.com and ask about the Trans Am taillight decals. She makes em, excellent quality as you can see from one of the pics above. She sells 4 for $25 so it's one heck of a deal!

Fred, lookin great man! One question... is that a T-top Console you put into your hard top?? I have 3 of them, but cant see a way it would really work without acually gettin the hard top version... explain please?

Thanks for that link by the way, I think Ill order a few! Is the one on your from her? If it is, it looks factory!

I got my Vert almost a year ago with 39,xxx miles, bone stock... Now shes up to 51,xxx... I've done a few mods to it, but nothing too overboard yet. That will come in time!

All the birds on this post look VERY good. It is hard to pick the top ten firebirds but I would have to say most of them that have been posted here would have to be on my list.

Mr Jordan-- that is a very nice looking yellow and the rims look very sweet!!

Zimmstoy--great looking bird -around here you don't see them i red anymore--everyone has been painting them--your car is beautiful!!


Flyinlow--what to say about your car--loss 4 words-your car has been my favorite bird on the boards since i have been on here!! it is so clean and beautifully done!!

ok i won't keep going individually b/c it would take to long but ya get the point. your cars look great

Although no chance at a TOP 10, you will not find another one like it. If you do I will pay a $100 Finders Fee. !! (Must be a 85 Recaro option TPI WS6 with louvers) heheh

88 WS6 TransAm GTA, that overhead console I got if for a hardtop car. You see, when you attach the T-top overhead console, you have to attach it up and backward. With the hardtop, you attach it up and forward. And yes, those taillight decals are from Kaz. She did an awesome job on them. I really recommend you getting a set. They improved the look of the tail significantly.

Fred, I did notice that your console has a curve in it where mine are straight. Would you or anyone else here happen to know of anyone with a hard top console theyd like to trade for a t-top one?
About the tail light stickers... Beings that the ones on your car look so damn good, Im gonna order a few sets. I acually emailed her earlier today, just waiting for a reply! Ill be sure to post some pics once I get them on there... Im sure theyll stand out pretty good with the black lights and white paint!

Scott, Ive said it before and Ill say it again.. I love those seats! I dunno, but every thing on your car flows really well... only thing I would opt for are the 16" Formula rims... they would look totally badass! BTW... whos ever car is is with the Vette seats, that rocks too!! :hail:

Mine may not be the best looking but I need that scoop for clearence with my air filter. And I like my stripes. Too bad you guys cant really see my custom sailbirds, ones I found at pep boys for $5 that Ive gotten nothing but compliments on and they look damn good. Silver and black and red. I need to get good pics of them.

It's great to see a bunch of thirdgen Firebirds in such great condition. Everybody's cars on here are beautiful... keep up the great work guys.

88 WS6 TransAm GTA, did Kaz ever get back to you on those decals for your convertible? And no, sorry, I dunno anypne who would be willing to trade a hardtop console for a t-top one. I got mine from Dave Staubli. I think his E-Mail was IROCZDAVE@aol.com if you wanna arrange something with him.

Fred
