WTB 83-87 Trans am for restoration

Hi there !

I'm looking for an 83 to 87 Trans Am. I want trans am with ground effect only.
My preference goes to the 83 Daytona 500 and Recaro edition or 84 trans am (i like the look of these cars more than the others)

I look for a car needing a restoration so rust and mileage don't matter (even barn find condition).
I would prefer a Hardtop but would also take a T-top car.
Manual or auto transmission doesn't matter.

A complete and almost original car would be best.

I'm from France so I will organize the transport via specialist from USA to France.

I still have my rust free L69 auto
84, but it does not have the aero package and it has t-tops.

What is your price range?

Thanks

I just had a look on your trans am thread. Very nice car.
Unfortunately, it is not what i am looking for. I really want to retore the car.

Thanks

There doesn't seem be a very high demand for a nice black 1984 TTA. I just drive the GTA these days so it probably only gets driven 500 miles a year now. Plus the 84 has the factory 3.73 rear differential ratio that not only gives it very annoying chirping around turns (well, I hope when I service the 10 bolt, chunks of metal don't fall out like in my Miata), the gas mileage is worse that the 383 in the GTA with 1/3 less HP.

If you are really looking for a PROJECT I have an 87 GTA Hardtop, 350 TPI, Flame red but has quite a bit of rust that needs fixed. Runs and drives though

Re: WTB 83-87 Trans am for restoration

Thanks for your interest guys. Transport to France + taxes is almost the price of the car so i have toto figure out how to ship the car at reasonable costs before going any further.
