Trans Am M5,A4 LO3 V8 9.3:1 5.0 (305) 170@4400 255@2400 TBI 3.08 ---- 2.73


congrats!

 

What are some other details?

Congrats on the cheap find!

 

body is in perfect condition other then paint.. i looked underneath and i thought i was checking out a brand new car. 120mph speedo, interior is mint, had extra set of t tops in the back.. i got a steal.. seems like it had alot of spunk. sounded nasty as hell.

 

i've got the same engine in my '92, it's pretty dependable as long as i've had it. i've got 110k on the clock and it still runs strong. not the most powerful engine ever made, but it'll still show a honda who's boss every now and then

 

man you suck i've been looking for pretty much that exact car, haven't had any luck yet

 

got my car today here are some pictures.. it'll be about a month and she'll be done.. maybe sooner

 

it would help if i posted the pictures?

Nice 84. Any interior shots? Is that an Anniv. edition?
Hard to tell.

 

i have some interior shots of the 89 but not the 84.. i can get some tomorrow though. as for the special anniversy no it's not, but the guy i bought it from was trying to make it sound like it was, he said he took the decals off of blue trim and a blue bird going up the "cawl" part of the hood, and painted the rims white.. but i knew better that the interior on the anniversery are white, as mine is beige and if anyone had an anniversery edition i don't think they owuld re paint it pink, as the car was at one point because the engine compartment was pink.. it's a nice looking car if you just look at it, but if you're up close and if you're me knowing every little messed up detail, you probably can't get a bigger piece of junk then that car. anyways here are the interior of the 89, very clean other then the one stain on driver side and the steerling wheel but i want to find one from an 85 or 86 steering wheel they are much nicer, so if you have a spare email me and give me a price.. injection@hvc.rr.com

in my opinion it seems it's probaly a good thing the interior is alot better than the outside but what are you already replacing the gfx or what is up with the gfx sitting next to it doesnt look like they fell off but u never know

 

new fender so i didn't put the gorudn effects all the way on.

 

aty least it sounds like the body is straight just a little paint and she'll be ready to fly

 

the body is immaculate other then it needs paint. there isn't a spot of rust anywhere on the car, when i paint it i am going to undercoat it, if you look under neath it looks like a new car

 

That is a cool car, I just like to add that the stock CD player from 1989 is really cool as well.

 

red and black one needs work and lots of love, white one looking good i like the look of it are the the interior shots of the white one or the red and black one? oh yea get some center caps for the white one it will make it look much better.

 

the interior shots sare of the 89 red and black one
