Pics of my 85 Trans Am

These were taken before I had taken possesion of the car and dont do it justice. I had taken it for a test drive. Yes, I took them at my house(small town, and bought it from my boss). When I get better ones(some day, lol) I will post them. The front pic is especially lame.

Anyway, its a 85, 305PTI, 700R4, T-Tops, G92 performance package, every option for 1985(except it has 15" wheels, which I like). VERY clean, it needs very very few thing to be taken to basically perfect condition(steering wheel the most notable). 106K babied miles.

Ya, the steering wheel will be replaced soon(hopefully). Other than the few chips in the decals its pretty much perfect. For a 19 year old car I'd say its pretty damn good!

Subframe connectors, LT1 swap(assuming I dont have to cut up anything, so I can go back to original if I want), 2800 stall converter, probably intake, headers, and mild cam on the LT1 before install. Its already got a 3.42 posi rearend, and a shift kit.

Its possible I may go with a 350TPI swap, and do cam, intake, headers, and heads before swap. But Im planning on LT1 right now.

So the WS6 was an option int 85... I thought so. Oh well, it has most of the options of then. I do have a performance suspension package..

Acid Phreak.

Very Nice T/A youve got there Looks like a cream puff (in the good way, hehe)

Best of luck w/ it.

Vortec TA...the Last Real T/A's were the 76 Poncho 455 T/A's. Our cars are just Camaros w/ flip up headlights ...cause 84's dont count! j/k

I dunno Dan, I'd give 77-79 400 T/A's some credit too

So if I remove my headlights does that make my car a Camaro? Woo Hoo!!!

Damn those '84's that don't count... Who would ever want to own one of those?

Works great. I almost swapped it out, but the adapter kit was out of stock, all they had was a wood grain one.

So decided to keep the stock since it looks good(especially at night). Just got one of those Sony Walkmans with the car setup.

BTW, I have a brand new Clarion DXZ835MP for sale. $260, free shipping.

Very nice looking bird you got there. It doesn't look like much has to change. New steering wheel and new floor mats and you're riding in style.

Man... you're just looking to be chewed out for this one! we'll see if 84s don't count when mine finally has an engine again! lol. Although I must say that there aren't too many 82-84 T/As on this board that aren't basically stock in appearance. I don't think i've ever seen one with a Ram Air hood even. Well that'll change in the next year or two :-).

I intend to keep it nice. It wont be seeing any snow or ice. Thats what my 72 Bajabug is for. Besides, if its anything like my 95 Z28, it wont go anywhere anyway(just spin its tires, lol). But ya, definetly going to baby it.

This is my baby. She still has some areas that I can improve on. I'm a perfectionist so i'll work on her till I die. I'm not into the idea of changing her, only improving her. I'll full out attack anyone who tries to equip her with nos or hydrualic lifts!!!

All of my pictures are too high of a quality, they won't let me post them. Although, you can find them at my car domain site.
