Roshambo has posted tons of pics of his car on here. Try a search. Or go to the Cascade Crew website.

Whoa, you just gave me an excuse to post pics of my car! Muhahahahaha!

So, here it is, 1988 T/A WS6, pretty much fully optioned, the only thing I dont have is a 350, but, the engine thing will be fixed before the end of summer.

I know my paint color is stock, but I wonder about the paint job, its got a little bit of metallic in it and it goes from light to dark blue depending on the sun, quite cool! 88WS6TA, does yours do that too?

Anyway, here are a couple pics.











So there ya go!

Yep, it does. Some times it looks almost silver, other times it is dark blue. Mine was repainted in '95 or '96 back to the original color. The paint on our cars suffered from the lack of UV protection so it didn't last very long.

Actually his is a different blue, but it is indeed the same scheme. Very kick *** car

And 87ILEIroc - Thanks for the compliments man! Watch out though if you get one, because since the car is such a noticable color, the law enforcement might pick on you. :nono:

Chevrolet called it Bright Blue Metallic (code 30), I don't know what Pontiac called it, probably the same. It was an '85 only color, the '86 up bright blue metallic (code 23 in '86) was much darker. Maui Blue was lighter than your bbm.
