That looks really really nice and clean. One of the first car in a while that made me say WOW!!! Give us some specs on it, looks like a base car? Still very clean.

The car is a 87 TA, has a 350 which is about a year and a half old. Was a 305 car. 5 speed , mild cam, headders, and a 780 CFM Holley. Has the WS6 suspension. The color is Galaxie Silver Pearl Metalic. I'm working on the interior now, wanting to put some 4th gen seats in it.

Bought the car last year to be used as a winter beater and keep some of the miles off of my 4th gen Camaro's.

Thanks, i'll take that as a compliment. She didn't look that good when I got her. Ugly blue,with silver on the bottom. Every panel
had some sort of a dent or ding in it. I was embarrassed to post a picture of it when I first got it.

Ive got some IROC wheels that I have polished that Im going to put on it next.

Looks great Jim! Who did you have paint it? I've always loved silver on thirdgens. I'm split between painting mine silver or black. So how did those Iroc wheels turn out?

car :rockon: , iroc rims :nono: it's your car, do what you want, irocs might not look to bad, but i'm not a fan of them on birds. i think 91-92 z28 rims would look pretty good, but not irocs.

Personally I think some polished Iroc would look great. They would be the 2 line ones, could you photochop those?

I would realy like to put GTA wheels on it, but anyone who has a set for sale, wants too much. The IROC wheels look pretty good on it. Ive got my autocross tires on them now, and as soon as I use up those tires, I will put my street tires on them. Anything would look better than those ugly Pontiac wheels.
