1985 Trans Am Convert

I just wanted to post a picture of my old 85 T/A Convert. I sold it a few years ago but just got luck and found all my pictures. The car was a WS6, Recaro seat, TPI, Auto and it turned heads. I wish I still had it but you Know.

Looks great. Ive only seen a handful of other 85 Verts. Most were black and gold, one was black and silver.

I like the white/gold combo, very nice.

I have about 200 pictures of the car. I thought you might like a rear/side view with the top up.

Re: 1985 Trans Am Convert

Hello Firebird Friend.

I may have bought this car off of you. Did you have this in front of your house on the lawn with different front wheels on it in Schoharie County? I am curious about this car. My name is Miles. Hope to hear from you.

Re: 1985 Trans Am Convert

Miles, I sold this car way back in 99-2000 and it looked exactly as pictured. However with very few of these made, it was probably my car. I purchased it in 1998 in Saratoga NY and sold it out of Latham, NY a few years later. A few years after that it was for sale once again in the wAnt ad digest and I went to go check it out but it was in ruff condition. I lost track of it after that.

Re: 1985 Trans Am Convert

I'm very curious. I bought this car after it was damaged. I was alway's wondering if the car had been rolled over because the cage was slightly bent and had slight front end damage. ? Hope to hear back from you.

Re: 1985 Trans Am Convert

OH oops. I got this message late. Oh ok. I was the one who bought it in rough shape. It needed a computer because it got wet and fried but after that it started right up. Did this car have a shift kit put in the 700R4 transmission? I have many questions. I love the car and want to know everything about it.
