friend has a "85 trans am" but i am not so sure its an '85
he claims its a 1985 trans am, but it has the black wrap around spoiler on it. i was under the impression that the wrap around spoiler was NOT availible in 85, i thought '86 was the first year of the black wrap around spoiler. every 85 trans am i have ever seen had the pedastool spoiler. so was the 1985 trans am availible with the black wrap around spoiler?

Run the VIN through the decoder, unless he's the only owner. Someone might've liked that style and put it on. I have an 86Z but don't have the CHMSL on the top of the hatch glass. Turns out someone swapped hatches after an accident, I actually have a firebird hatch. The VIN says 86Z though, I believe that over the body

Yes, that is an 85 Trans Am. They came with those spoilers.

The car is correct. The aerowing spoiler was displayed in the 1985 PMD brochure on the T/A, but I don't think that many were put on that year.....
Personally, I've never seen an '85 T/A with one on it..... they always have the pedestal flat spoiler.

Of coarse that's an '85. My friend has two. They all had that nose from '85 to '90, and a wrap around spoiler. I'm not sure if it was that exact spoiler sytle all the way to 90, because they changed the syle of them slightly, before '92 sometime.
