Re: 3rd Gens sitting / Rotting away: what have you seen?
This poor car has been sitting in the same spot with it's passenger side door ajar for at least 5 years that I know of , through snow , rain , and anything else that may fall from the skies .
It's on RT 138 in Raynham , Massachusetts , and if anyone here wants to approach the owner(s) I'll get the exact address .
It looks like a small (8 or 10 cars on the lot) car dealer/flipper who maybe wants way more than it's worth ?

I agree. Someone used to love em but oh how times are changin. So sad peoples loyalty these days cars are like bics >.<

This one has been there for awhile. Might be an impound yard. Or the car is waiting its turn for the crusher. Looks like an 88. No apparent ID for the property.
And based on this TA's color, I'd guess it's an 85 or 86. Someone's property. Doesn't look like there are any immediate plans.

Would you know the name so I may be able to contact them? A hardtop 91/92 trans am is worth saving if it isn't a rust bucket and I've been looking for one

You should start your own build thread on this car in the members Firebird section. It looks like a nice find for sitting in a field and really solid.
