If I was in the market for that 1st car Id be a little skeptical because it says its a GTA with a 5.7 when in fact they never made 86 GTA or even put 5.7 in 86

Another thing thats odd is how he took that pic of the Gta emblem,like he ordered the emblem and hasnt stuck it on yet.
Regardless,their third gens so there ok in my book

thats fuggin awsome how the 2nd car was won at a NBA game by sinking a half court shot.I woulda sunk it too

I would like to see a Pheonix Suns Archive video of that shot that won that trans am

Gee Alex!
Sounds like another project for you to tackle!

Looks pretty beat to me! Before i would buy, I would make sure that those seats show up in the option list!
Wheels looks good silver!
As for the second car, pretty nice, I like the owners history, like how he got it! Looks like a great car to own!

Dont see too many grey rims like that on the first one.

Pallex cloth does not hold up well, what you see there is the fate of most Recaro equiped cars (85-86) Door panel is correct (Graphite inserts) so it may be authentic. Provision for cowl tag is there but they quit installing them sometime after 85. I will ask him if he has RPO AS5 for the seats.

Update:

Question - "Do you have the sticker in the center console still? If so is the the code "AS5" there? That would help make it a true Recaro car"

Answer - "dont no"

At least we know who were dealing with here.
