You dont see to many cars that are truly all original anymore(and in good conditon), the original look has always been one of my favs. So come on guys post away.

 

Here is my 86 TA all original when I got it. Cheers...

 

This is the best picture I currently have. I'll get some good ones after I get my car back from the paint shop. It'll still look factory when I get it back except it will be lowered about 2 inches.

1991 Trans Am GTA

 

I guess I consider mine all orginal lol,176,000 miles and the only thing aftermarket on the car is the exhaust,and the radio,

 

83' Z-28. Repainted in '91. Stock other than that. 59,000 miles. Just put stock radio back in it. Console lid in the pic was replaced. Hoping to get the seats redone next spring/summer.

 

This is mine as of about 2yrs.ago,before I started the interior and exterior restoration with after market products.Still 99.5% stock.

 

You want original-this one is pretty close. A true survivor car. 1982 base firebird-23k-original paint/interior/engine. The only things new are tires, fluids and a few hoses, other than that-this is the way she left the dealership.

 

WOW! I've personally never seen a base model 'bird. Much less those wheels.

 

Wow lots of nice cars guys.

I love that 83 Crossfire, you dont see to many of those around anymore.

and i agree I dont think ive ever seen a base bird before especially not that CLEAN!

That blue Rs is nice as well reminds me of my old Rs.

Rs's just dont get enough love.

 

Thanks guys for the compliments on the "base" firebird. I take a lot of heat from the local crowd because its a v-6. I take it with a grain of salt because if I dropped a v-8 in it, it would no longer be orig and a survivor. The wheel covers are RPO PE3-rally v wheels.

 

Ha ha those guys are just jealous. But you can always buy another thirdgen and have that as your project car.

 

I dont know how i missed this car its nice dude cant wait to see it when the paints done.

 

I had a "base" "Bird back in the day - a 1983 with 2.8L V-6 and a 5-speed. Mine was red with charcoal interior. I had Ralley wheels. Looks like you got the full gauge package - I only had a speedo and gas gauge.

I agree, keep it stock. I doubt there are many of them left.

 

Post pics of that 82 Z, we want to Zee it

 

Yeah, my "go fast' car is my 89 TTA. Now that is the ultimate v-6, lol

 

I've owned the car almost 3 years and have never seen another like it. A few that were close, but different colors or interior combos.

 

ha ha.

You sir have a very nice collection of cars there

 

Appearance and drive train wise everything but the louvers is stock. The underside is a different story but it's nothing radical, just the average thirdgen stuff; SFCs, Konis, etc. Pics were from about 2 years and 20k ago, at about 72k so it was pretty close to 100% factory then.

 

long time ago

 

Love those Rally Sports.

Really big fan of what you have done with your car Keeslinger

 

Wow the combo of the car and the background make for a great looking picture.

Im surpised to see there has been more firebird's than camaro's.

 

Thanks lmancha. Not sure though if you mean in that pic? It doesn't look like that anymore although a part of me wishes it did

 

Lol no im talking about this look, your car is the first car that i ever saw c6's on been in love with them since.

EDIT: I used that picture a couple months ago on thirdgen nations facebook page. Just as an example of what the vette rims look like on it. apparently your car received A LOT of love on there.

 

 

Very nice car nick.

How about a little background info, if ya feel like typing it out

 

Very nice and clean! Is that an '87?

 

Here's a few of my past cars that were all original / stock. The rest of my cars have all been modified.



1990 IROC-Z G92 optioned 305TPI/5spd, all power options, rear disc brakes, etc.




1989 IROC-Z 305TPI/auto, no power options, "base" model TPI IROC-Z, 15" IROC wheels, etc.





1992 Z03 Z28 Heritage Edition convertible, 305TPI/auto, all power options




My sister had this one as her first car, '91 Formula WS6, 305TPI/auto, all power options, factory CD player, still had the original casette owners information and dealer brochures.

 

This one looks very original - love the date stamp on the rad hose. A new RC27 rad cap, non-ribbed belts and a black battery would make it look even better. It's also nice enough to deserve the time it would take to give it a really good cleaning, even the inside of the coolant tank. TPI engines always look fantastic, especially in a well detailed engine compartment.

 

Wow those are some very nice cars.

 

Haha thanks they are my favorite wheel too. They look way better in real life too then in any picture iv'e been able to take.
I commented on there claiming her lol

 

Mine is mostly stock outside. I did a ton of bodywork, had it painted and kept it looking stock.

 

It's going to be interesting to see how numbers of stock, original unrestored low mileage thirdgens hold up with time. There were more Camaros made but I have seen a lot of them swapped, frankencar'd, modded or daily driven without being kept up properly... maybe the Firebird/Camaro ratio will equal out as time goes on? One thing's for sure though, there arent a lot of base models, s/e's and berlinettas being saved like the one above. Idk if theyll ever be worth anything but there is a huge cool factor to the cars with the rare hubcaps and accessories and factory correct iron dukes and v6s.

 

Thanks for saying this-well said. I definately am not keeping my 82 base bird stock as an investment-its much more for reasons you stated. I think its just and "odd" car in VGC and you dont see them anymore. Most were used as DD's and ran into the ground or changed to a custom look.

 

I still have the original cap. I keep everything that comes off the car. (including the plastic TPI distributor cover, the one on there is aluminum)

I haven't really done a full detail in the engine bay yet for fear of damaging something.

I'll look into a black battery and different belts. The battery is on it's way out anyway.

 

Great looking car, the stock look is amazing on these cars.

reminds me of my bro's 86 when he first got it.

 

Wow, practically twins!

 

love original cars, wish mine looked good enough to post

 

Dude is your car stock or all original?

If so then post it. Those are the only requirements for this thread.

You have to give your ride some love

 

Not to go way off topic but I noticed that in the two pictures blue zee posted of the 90 iroc and 89 iroc the iroc decals were both towards the back of the door.

and on both the 86's they were toward the front.

Anyone know when they made this transition?

 

Interesting... never noticed that! Looks like 1985-1987 were the ones where it was stuck at the front of the door and 1988-1990 it was stuck near the rear based on what came up on Google images for the different years.

 

its mostly original, and some body parts are aftermarket, crucially its missing the decalsso it doesnt look original

 

Ive always heard people fussing at other people because they did it wrong but i never really knew what they were talking about until i saw these pictures.

I think you are correct

 

My 87 besides exhaust, headunit, tires, fuel pump and some maintenance items all stock. Right now the car has 49,773 on the clock.

 

Ah, it doesn't matter. (To me anyways) I've wanted to see what your Z looks like for a while now.

 

Miscellaneous SLP bolt-ons, so original/stockish...

 

WOAH!

Love that color.

Looks great man.

 

I wish we lived closer together, our cars are brothers!!!

Mine is also a 1982 Base V6 Bird, with 4600 original miles (3900 when I bought it)

Same deal, replaced the tires, a few hoses and belts, only I did my stereo as well, the stock speakers were rotted and fell apart the first time I turned on the radio Still need to rebuild my carburetor though, it needs it bad.

You gotta love the stock wire hubcaps... they even have lockers, and a special key to take them off... I want to replace them, but on the other hand, they are original :P

 

That is to awesome.

Two 1982 Base birds in the same thread

MIND BLOWING

Really digging that interior its sooooo CLEANN.

 

A few more shots I took today, didn't have a good one of the wheels or under hood.

 

Thanks I'm only home 4 months out of the year (I'm a commercial sailor), I plan on using the car for my "daily driver"... but for me, that means about 2000 miles a year, at most.

I baby my cars, and keep them spotless inside and out.
