this 82 trans am thats for sale ..........on the way back from taking these pics I got smoked bad by a sick 4th gen,not sure the year but it was a trans.She new her car was faster so I think she was toying with me

heres drivers front:

 

passenger front:

 

interior:

 

sorry for the 4th pic......rear

the reason I post this here is to see if you guys think I should buy it and restore it.It has 134,000 miles and the owner wants 1000$ but is willing to let it go for 750 bucks straight up

 

Oh wow! I love the red/black cars. To bad it got hit

Go for it!

I see it has aftermarket t-tops like my old '82 did.

If it was a CFI, GM T-top car I would not mind having it.

 

its to tempting and my g/f will kill me...........but its a trans am
I forgot to see if it has rear disc but has power locks and windows.What kind of engine/s did those come with?

 

oh yeah,the t-tops leak bad on drivers side,I sat in it and my@$$ got all wet.I dont know about passenger side though.

 

heres the in good shape rear

 

It fires right up and sounds strong.........altough I did not drive it around so I dont know yet if the front collision affected the radiator.The owner had to go so I m going back later to open the hood and check whats going on in there.Ill post a pic of that,hopefully I dont get banned for all these pics

 

those are factory t-tops by the way

 

$750 isn't a bad deal. It's going to cost a lot to get her pretty again, but it's always(most always) a fun time fixing up stuff. And if all else you have a plethora of spare parts for your current car.

 

If you can afford it, go for it!
You do need some parts though, but they should be fairly easy to find at the local yards!
The seats are almost always bad! And, if you redo it back to stock, you'll need the Knight Rider wheels!
Sounds like you are going to give Alex a run for his money! He needs another '82!
Did you look for the vin, data plate, and the RPO lost of codes?
That'll help you decide!

Good luck,

George

 

Buy it! You can't go wrong for $750. I wish I could find a decent 82 T/A here in Wisconsin for that price. 82-83 T/As are almost non existant around here.

 

I have an 82 TA that I am trying to sell. It is a CFI car, TH200, 3.23 posi, WS7, PW, PDL, 14" whels and "bowling ball" caps, factory t-tops, PMD seats with drivers side power....the whole she-bang. Rust free AZ body, never been wrecked. Located near Phoenix AZ.

 

BTW, 108,000 orignal miles, and just passed emissions. Still have the paper and the tags are good until NOV 2006...if in AZ.

 

The T/A in the pictures has the LG4 305 Carb motor. I can tell because only '82 LG4 T/A's (and 87-92 Formula's) had the hood scoop block off plate.

 

That's the last thing I need right now.

The only way I'm getting another '82 right now is if it was Red/Black, CFI, and had T-tops. I would sell my blue '83 for it.

Or a Recaro T/A

 

well, looks just like how my 91 Z28 was when I got into an accident... was an easy fix, with the right parts and tools, just check for frame damage, looks like your gonna need a new hood, fender, and front clip w/ bumper supports... go find a trans am that got rear ended and take it off of that, and keep the bolts etc from it, then go slap it on the wrecked one hehe... Air tools make the job easy... much easier.

 

My nose got lightly hit, the headlight stopped working but after some time, picked up again, I have a spare left side light you don't need for that hehehe
I do need a new bumper and probably fenders...and doors. Regardless of the type of damage it can all be somewhat costly to do.
Looks nice though, love those lumbar power seats, that will cost to reupholster (sp?)

 

( Oh wow! I love the red/black cars.)

82FirebirdTA

I can't argue with that statement



Looks like a good staring point, for $750!!

Go for it, that damage is pretty minor, and you might be able to save that hood!
I know I would try to save it , if it was me.

 

I see the ever-so rare rear wiper too. Looks like one heck of a deal for $750

 

Oh yeah? How much? Got pics? Dennis is right.. ANYTHING around here is either 10gs cause they think its rare... or its a pile of crap from either morons or salt or both... <sigh> Stupid winter...

 

What caught my eye was the plexi fill in panels you put on the early Bird's nose...That would work for several years' Birds.
How'd you accomplish that? Are they custom cut and mounted?

After lots of Internet research,I came to the conclusion that most nice/cheap 82-84 birds and t/a's are in the west coast area(California,Oregon,Washington).Midwest area it seems Ohio for some reason has allot.And the northeast area new york,new jersey.I live in Oklahoma and had to get my car a blk and gold 82 t/a in Iowa.Thank g.o.d the transport was only $200.

 

A large collection of eBay cars I looked at are on the East coast. Though not all, Florida is a hot spot, as is California

 

Yup your right florida also

 

I've seen a lot of Penn a lot lately as well... but don't have the money for the car as well as the cost to get it all the way here.. Damn mid-west.. lol

 

doesnt look like it need tooo much, interior could use some and hood/nose/fender and you should be set?

Hows the frame??

get on your belly and check the under carraige too, check for rust, make sure they arent hiding anything. And run the vin but yeah man 750 isnt bad, weather its a donor or a project. Could be fun, could be a nightmare......good luck

 

Ok,With some x-mas money I got Im going to buy it.My Dad said I can keep it at his yard .wish me luck guys!

 

type in: 1983 Trans Am , on an E-bay search.

I look at this quite often, and see now that there is alot of body parts offered, that you need to fix this car.

Good luck, and I hope this helps!

 

thanks a lot for the link, the car is at my Dads now but unfortunatly (sp.) All its going to do is sit for a while.Moneys a big issue and I still need a power steering gear box and struts/shocks for my 82 s/e and thats a priority because the s/e is my daily vehicle.But Im trying to sell the station wagon my friend gave me for at least 800$
