Nice cars, But I wonder.... How many of these cars came from the Van Nuys (sp) plant durning the 80's. I know my car came from this plant & had the crappy 80's GM paint job, complete with peeling faded, paint that was so typical in that era.
It was completly painted in 93 after a major accident but after nearly 10 years it looks like crap again (no peeling tho)

ok...imagestation seems to be working now.
Back to the topic. I have my original paint and seems to be fine for a ten year old car. I saw an 82 above and I think it looks great.
Girls love my paint; they touch it and do other stuff to it!!!!

You all might be surprised what that little engine with a turbo will do. Not saying his is this way, just never under estimate a turbo car. Depsite how small the engine.

Markolc - your car is not Flame Red Metallic. It's Dark Red Metallic. Pontiac used the Flame Red. thought you might want to know.
Here's mine: Van Nuys built, all original, no touch ups.

Here's mine at almost 150K miles.
The only parts that are not the original paint are the hood and passenger side fender. The top has the common GM paint peel defect. or maybe it just from driving too fast
