Re: worst thirdgen ever
If it were sprayed a single color it might be... ok (gritting my teeth as I type that). It reminds me of that orange GM concept camaro with the tall rear spoiler. I'd like to see what it looked like painted solid black. I still would not own it.

Re: worst thirdgen ever
According to the article it sold for $2900. I wonder if the owner was upset.

Re: worst thirdgen ever
I know imagine the loss they took not including auction price plus no interior up grades the paint had to be 4000 along

Re: worst thirdgen ever
I hope whoever bought it redoes it right away. I mean at this point I would like a rattle can flat black paint job over that one. I also love how everyone was doging 3rd gens on that site. That car really is an eyesore.

Re: worst thirdgen ever
Ugh that is just awful. although to be fair, 2900 wouldn't be to bad with the engine and interior looking that good. its just... that paint... those rims... and WTF with that spoiler!!! I kinda like the 'vette rear though.

Re: worst thirdgen ever
How do you open the hatch? It looks like the spoiler would be in the way!

Ugly as sin, but worth every cent and then some. A blueprinted engine and a nice interior make it worth having. A sawzall and some epoxy primer and it would look allot better.

Re: worst thirdgen ever
It's pretty bad, but least it looks like a clean job that can be rather easily reversed...now take a look at this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-...item43b36dff8d
This is an abomination...poor Trans Am. I can't believe anyone could have built that.
I'm too lazy to upload the pictures...
