I just got a 1992 Trans/am convertible

Hi, just got a vert, and I am joining the vert club.

The vert's got a 305 TPI re-built 20K miles ago.
Tranny has been serviced etc.
New top, paint, fuel pump, pretty much everything. Great condition.

Here are some pics.

Let me know if you wanna see anything on this car, and I'll snap a shot.

The black leather? seats look really nice. The black top, interior, wheels look really sharp on the red car.

Nice ride!

I had a 91 bird years ago that went away when the kids came into the picture. I have been toying with the idea of finding a convertible to work on. I have always wondered how much space there is in the trunk for audio gear. If you could get a nice picture of the trunk that would be great.

Well, the rear trunk is really composed of the rear well and thats it. I will snap a shot for you tommorow.

Today I stripped the car and got it reall clean. I was toying with the idea of finding Recaro seats from early T/A's and swaping them for the 92 E.T. looking seats.

Really, if you had one of these seats out you will realize that they really look like E.T.
Crazy.

Hey, lets play a game.
How much do you think I paid for it.

Hint: if you are guessing over the blue book value you are waaaay wrong, if you are guessing under blue book then you are pretty close.

1OF663 is what I want my vanity plate to be!

Too bad mine isn't a stick, though.

I drove it to work this morning and I finally got stopped by someone who said, "They didn't make many of those convertibles, did they?" I proudly said, "Nope. 663 in 1992 and 555 in 1991." Believe it or not, it was a chick! But she was driving a VERY nice 99 Grand Prix GTP, so she might have known her Pontiacs. She wasn't very cute, though. She had a mu-llet!!!

(I had to put the dash in there 'cause for some reason, this board won't let you spell out m-u-l-l-e-t ... weird.)
