'87 Trans Am

Hey, I'm might be getting an 87 Trans Am this summer. It's blue, and the body is in like perfect shape, it has a 350 tpi, and it also has that hood bird sticker. It looks real nice, I'll take a pic of it so you can tell me what you think. They want $2500.

I think everything's original. I don't know how many miles are on it, I'll look tomorrow. Did the trans am ever come with the white bird on the hood from factory?

my original hood bird looked white from years of sun damage,but I would assume that it was silver at one time ,,,It is now..look for the code "DX1" to see if it came with the bird from the factory.

Scott........ is that the original 85 T/A hood? That is sharp... I never noticed the hood bulge if it's stock.

Beautiful ride my friend. Are you sporting the original rear wing..... if so is it cracking or breaking down. I wanted to talk to someone that has a fiberglass replacement aerowing. Mine has some annoying cracks in it.

Thanks for the complement.Yes it dose still have the orig.heavy rear spoiler,,up untill this past summer it was perfect but it has got a crack in it now,so I think Im going to get a 4th gen spoiler for it,,If I can get myself to spend that much money on it,,they want $400.00 for it including shipping,,thats almost as much as I paid for my hood,,check out some of the other pics of my car here... http://takeoff.to/scottsta
