With the number of 3rd gens dwindling (in my area anyway) most of the cars I do see have custom paint jobs, aftermarket wheels, body panels and such...does anyone else still like the factory look of our cars?



My car...2010

 

 

Puma, your car is the best looking RS I've seen.

I think these cars look best the way the came from the factory.



EDIT: Embarrassingly bad picture.

 

Here is my 92 Bird, about 90% original, even with original date coded hoses.

 

a couple more pics.

 

Thanks, yours looks pretty good too...it's hard to find unmolested ones these days, especially non top end models.

Here's a rear shot showing the new collector plate that I just finally received on Friday:

 

My 88K mile, bone stock 86 TPI

 

Love the look of the third gen car stock. Keep them coming

 

I love the factory look but the factory style rims would look good as an 18in wheel

 

Hey Rob! Yea, maybe one day Year One will do one like they did the 2nd Gens snowflakes. Would be nice, and look sweet for sure.

 

Im the Blue one

 

I have seen 18 and 20 in my style love them but cant find them maybe Trans Am Depot here in Tallahassee will do a set for me. I wonder who makes their rims for them Considering they are making the 5th gen Trans Am I am going to stop in there tomarrow and talk to them. I did stop in ther and talked to them about doing my seats but they said they dont work on third gens.

 

Bone stock except exhaust,

 

you guys inspired me to go out and take some fresh photos. White doesnt photograph very well, this car really is better in person.

 

I would say it is a super sweet looking ride! Great picture

 

Stock except for the upohlstery that was redone by previous owner

 

Sorry about the bad picture my camera kinda sucks lol



Mine is the red one bone stock both rs's are stock the only thing done to the iroc is the rims the rest is stock.

 

Some nice cars in this tread.

 

Nice car Darrlee

 

Here are the 100% stock ones I have.

 

My 11K mile IROC, which I ordered new.



All three of them.

 

Heres one of mine, you dont see these very often. 1982 bird, maroon metallic, all original, 22k.



Since the picture, I have changed the wheels to turbo fins, but still have the orig wheelcovers.

 

I love our cars stock. I wish my 86' was ready for a photo shoot, its 100% stock and will stay that way, but is all stripped down for minor rust repair and a complete repaint.

I really like your T/A, Facime. My 86' is identical, except I have the grey interior and diamond spoke wheels.

 

Very nice collection of cars.

Nice rides guys. Here my 2nd owner with 44000 miles.

 

LOVE that yellow hardtop. Ever thought of selling it?

 

Nah. I looked long and hard for the right yellow one. I've hit a point where I just keep them. It's like being the old woman who dies and leaves 25 cats behind.

Where in NC are you? The blue car in your avatar rocks!!!

 

Yeah, your yellow one looks nice. Paint doesn't even look faded.

 

Here is my stock 92. Well, the wheels were polished (hate it) and it has a flowmaster. But other than that it is a stock 92 Heritage edition 5 speed 305.

 

I was lucky when I stumbled across it. Never been in the rain, one **** retentive owner, always garaged. The Conteur seats aren't faded at all and other than hand waxing, and service it's just like I found it.

Chazman---I'm digging the stripe delete car!!!

 

Thanks. I'm surprised that more people didn't order the DX3 when it was available in '88-'90. But the dealers didn't even know about it back then, so that may explain why.

Your yellow one is very nice. The LS Conteur interior and hard top are just icing on the cake. I've been looking off and on for a yellow one for years before I bought my '85 last fall. My ideal one would have been an '85 L69/T5 with a Conteur interior or an '87 LB9/T5.

 

puma, your car is outstanding! I love the color, and the look of an unmodified RS. Do you have any more pics to show off the color? Thanks!

 

My 91 Rs



my Engine

 

I like the DX3. My 1LE '90 is a DX3, as most of them were. There was an RPO at the time that allowed non-recommended color combinations as well, but I can't recall it at the moment. That black car is absolutely killer!

All of these are cool. I like Puma's Maui blue car too! Hell, I like them all!!!!!

 

Thanks, here's a thread on it:

Sweet car!

 

this thread is great!

 

My 1991 Z28 LB9 / 5 speed

 

This is what makes this site great. You see all sorts of killer hot rods and all kinds of killer stockers and pretty much everything in between.

 

I've tried to keep my car looking mostly stock. I loved the cowl when I had it, but I prefer the factory look. Always better to be faster than you look anyway.




(And yes, I do have a good reason for parking in front of an old overgrown house)

 

Heres mine. im actually getting a new front bumper and lower spoiler painted and put on today cuz the one in the pics is all spider cracked and ugly...luckily though in these pictures you cant tell ; )





Original hoses which i have recently put steel braided slip ons over..not in the pictures tho

 

Durham/Raleigh/Hillsborough.


I've had a 1986 Iroc for 17 years. Little too modified to go back to stock, but I think I will redo it the way I WANT it. factory yellow, stock looking form the outside except yellow/polished wheels, 350TPI and a 5-speed. Tan interior...


I have a full build thread on the blue one.

This is the color I want. Beautiful~

 

Your car is a copy of mine, sadly mine was repainted and doesn't have the bird on the hood. Nice car!!
