1986 Trans Am
This car is up the road from my house. I haven't seen it personally, but look at how much they are asking for it!!! Clean looking car though. My two faults with it (aside from the rediculous price) are the aftermarket stereo and the fact that it's an LG4. Otherwise, good looking ride.

It looks almost like somebody restored the thing. Like one of those '69 Camaro or Hemi 'Cuda "back to showroom" resto's. check out that engine bay. and only 15k on the odo? this car's never been driven the way it's supposed to be.
personally, i disliked my factory radio, so I see that as an upgrade, and that LG4 can always be remedied with an engine hoist. Still, too much to pay for a car thats not quite old enough to be a classic and still too old be new. It's the middle child that always gets ignored.

ITs a nice looking car, THe engine bay, for 15K in 20 years is about right, of course take it to a cleanup shop and they will work wonders...
I would say it might go for $15,000 tops...
NADA I think has it listed for about $8,500, thats where the current bid is at...
Why I Would not buy the car:
1 - it has an LG4
2 - its an 86, nothing really against 86's really but all in all the prformance was not there like it was in 85 or 87+, especially when equiped with the LB9 TPI engine.
3 - NON factory Radio
Why I might consider it:
1 - its nice looking
2 - it HAS WS6...
3 - really clean...

wait a minute, it's in port richey florida? I think i've seen that car at a show. If it's the guy i'm thinking of, he had to have the tranny rebuilt because it was sitting for too long, the fluid turned to glue, and he tried to start it.
