been there! but mine sat for 2 yrs in illinois mud (smack dab in the middle of the rust belt!) until i bought her, and there's evidence that the previous owners really neglected her in some areas. but she looks great and runs real good for her age and history. there were a few bubbles on the rear driver's side quarter panel and everytime i washed and wax, ITS LIKE FEEDING THEM SALT!

but i would trade her for anything!

Check these shots out, makes me want to cry.
Btw, this is mine.
First pic is of OE decal for Trans Am placement, The previous owner decided to touch it up by hand.

Second shows the awesome power of road salt. Last shows the bird on the sail panel, again, weather permitting.

Dont forget the awesome bondo job the last owner did.

82, it may be an ongoing headache..... but that is the best looking early 3rdGen Trans Am I have ever seen. Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

looks sharp! Whered you get the decal from? What do you think of the quality? I see you are running Nitrogen in the tires from those green valve stem caps :-), for when you do the 120 mph cruises right?

Memphis is 100 miles away, and it the roads get really hot in the summer!
