here are pics, opinions/advice wanted

Here are some pics of my first third gen trans am...it is a 1984 trans am recaro edition with the ws6 suspension, 4wheel disc brake, l69 motor, t-5 transmission...the only mods i have done to it are true dual exhaust, edelbrock 650 carb, and wieand intake manifold. It has a rebuilt motor with no more than 50 miles on it...I absolutely love the car and it is a joy to ride around town in...a pain in the *** when it come to gas mileage though because I have a habit of ******* the heck out of the throttle....but who can blame me...lol....I would be willing to get rid of it for a decent price though...any opinions/ suggestions would be appericated, i plan to repaint it to the original gold/black color scheme and put a tan 4th gen interior (door panels, dashboard, center console)...no totally sure it there are any tan 4th gen interiors though

thats almost as good as the guy who "helped" my mom get her car out of a snow bank. he tied a tow rope around the gas filler neck pulled it off the car and tried to tell her it was the rear sway bar, killer is that it was a 2005 sunfire <= no rear sway bar now when shes gets stuck she calls me or dad. anyway sorry

Beautiful car, the blackout look looks very nice. Get the windows tinted a bit when you get the new paint done, take it for a wash and you'll have yourself a sweet show car.
