4th gen styled 3rd gen

Is it just me or do our gen of bird especially the 91-92 years look better with 4th gen style then the 4th gens themselves. Im seriously thinking about selling my '89 maro 350 for a 91-92 T/A or GTA and just 4th gening it out. A nice Ram-air hood WS6 fin and some WS6 5 stars... That would look phat. Throw in a 4th gen interior a ppl won't know what they are looking at. Could tell em its a rare 4th gen or a limited 3rd gen

I don't remember his name, but someone on this board has a very nice orange TA with 4th gen spoiler, hood and even "Trans Am" badges.

83firebirds/e. Do you go to the Pony offen?? Im there every single Sunday. From there i usually cruise over to Burger Factory for a quick bite of supper then over to Petro to get the gas to burn off all nite. In my travels i'll be everywhere from Brady Road to checkin (and laughin) at the Ricers in Kildonan Park. They just cringe and stare at you when you cruise through there in anything but a rice rocket or crustang. I don't know i would love to get a 91-92 bird but id have to get rid of my '89 which i just got at the end of last year!! Oh well a trade in is always good.

The 4th gen wheels make the best difference in appearance,




All I need now is some Silver Paint.

86fyrbird that is what im talking bout that looks F***** awesome. I would probally have a few changes though just cause of my stylin prefs. I like the 91-92 front and the 95-97 Ram-Air I hood. What year do those Rims come off of and what size are they. You too Zepher what year are those rims off of??

2 cars.

Yes and no.
Both cars are being modified.
The "Formula" I have is a seriously modified "E" car.
The L03 died. Took the L03 out, replaced it with a pre 86 350 CI. Read the sig.
Not to be confused with a Formula Firebird.
Anyway, it's coming along well. It runs great and I love it.

My wife's car is another project. Hers is a 2.8, and the engine died on it as well. My luck with third gens. Both had bad motors.
Everything has been suggested from stock replacement to 3.4 to 383 stroker.

I want to get her car running too. I don't like not being able to drive my car when my wife drives it all the time!

I think we can all agree on that one!

What transmission does he have, I'd love to put an LS1 in my car, does he have any interior done?
