Hi all, I was wondering if the "peanut" cam was used in any of the 85 TPI engines? I was also curious about the wrap around spoiler was available on 85 TPI cars only? Last 85 question, does anyone have a production breakout by engine for the TA?

Finally, does anyone know how many (if any) 87 GTA's got the "paddle" side mirrors?

Thanks!

 

According to the PHS, in 1985 there were:

5.0 TPI (LB9) w/ auto trans: 16,869
5.0 TPI (LB9) w/ 5-speed: 0
5.0 4bbl(LG4) w/ auto trans: 20,792
5.0 4bbl(LG4) w/ 5-speed: 4,702
5.0 4bbl(L69) w/ auto trans: 0
5.0 4bbl(L69) w/ 5-speed: 1,665

 

The paddle style mirrors were found on early 1987 GTA's. GTA's produced later in the 1987 production run had the mirror that all GTA owners have now. The paddle mirror is a rare option for sure but I can't give you an exact number of how many were produced. Either way its a low number....some say less than 400.

 

Sorry, no peanuts for 85 TPI mills. (thank goodness)

RPO D81 was a "spoiler, aero wing type" introduced in 1985, Trans Am only.

Don't know much about the paddle mirrors except they were powered "european" style and due to problems were dropped.
