WTB 85-86 Yellow Trans Am

Guys - just sold my last project after fixing it up and having fun (1988 Corvette 35th Anniversary) and looking for something new. Thought I'd try and recreate my first car, which was a 1985 Trans Am with yellow paint and the dark gray ground effects. I think that was color option 50U in 85 and 51U in 86? (Been doing lots of research on this site over the last few days).

Condition isn't all that important, other than I'd prefer no rust. I'm guessing my original car (sold in 1996) has returned to the earth after its time in Iowa.

Willing to travel/transport.

If you have one for sale, or know of one, drop me a line here.

Thanks!

Thanks! I talked with the seller yesterday. Nice car and certainly the same color combo. My original car was a TPI and grey interior, his is an LG4 and vlack /white interior. Biggest downside is it is a long way from Texas!

That last link is pretty close to exact! I'll be in touch with that one. Been hoping to do a fly-and-drive as a bucket list, but Vermont is a long, long way from Texas.

Thanks for the link!
