Picked this up yesterday since I wanted the Recaro leather seats which I will repair and dye black and put them into my 86 Trans Am.
Not too bad for 4 bills.

 

Nice find.

Whats under the hood?

 

hmm... '85 base bird... LG4? 2.8 carb'd? iron duke? those are my guesses... good find (especially with the seats!!!). i'm looking for a nice, cheap bird myself to beat on a little...

 

How can you tell it's an 85? No 3rd brake light?

It's got a 2.8 with a T5. It's really slow.

 

Base 85 Bird', no third brake light. First year for the "bumperettes" on the bumpers. Last year for that style taillight.

 

exactly... all above mentioned design traits as well as the fact that Alex (82firebirdta) taught me...

 

15 or 16 inch wheels? If 16's, wanna get rid of those wheels on it?

 

Nice find for the seats. Gotta love the carpeted console lol

 

where the hell do you find these cars . I wish i could find something cheap like that ,its in pretty good condition.

 

The dash pad is worth over 1/4 of what you bought it for.........

Nice find

 

call me stupid but "4 bills"? which 4? haha

i can't think of any presidents that mighta been called bill


brandon

its late i'm off to bed

 

When are you going to stop buying new cars and finish that 86 transam? j/k Seriously though, that car's going to be killer when done.

 

"Bills" as in a hundred dollar bill.

Nice find, plans for this? Take what you want and part the rest?

 

cant loose for 4 bills. do i smell drift car?? hahaha

 

Love the skull shift ****.......that's how you know you are driving a mean muscle machine.......

 

the car looks pretty clean. Looks like a new exhaust. Hell the rims look like they could get you most of your money back already.

Its a good find, Any third gen is a good find (imo) Needs alot work and engine swapp ( 350 TPI or a Lt1 or hell LS1 ) Good find and goodluck wit her! your gonna need it

 

I actually paid with 14 bills:10 $20's and 4 $50's.
The wheels are 15's.

I am not sure what I am going to do with the car. I just wanted the seats.

Just yesterday I was thinking that maybe I should put the 4th gen dash and drivetrain into this car since it is a hard top.

Oh, and the A/C blows really cold too.

I may sell it to my friend after I put some regular seats in her. He expressed interest in it the other day.

 

Same year , same rims

I paid 7 "bills" for mine with a pos 2.8.

 

ahh, i figured u ment 400, just wanted to play stupid

looks like a solid car, u could part it out or sell it after u take those seats, i bet u could double ur money easily.

 

thats what i'm lookin for, crazy!

 

those door panels look pretty good too, you going to reuse those with the recaro seats or they just basic equipment?

 

What do you think those seats came from? They're not original to the Bird obviously.
