That would look great too.. I am not sure if they are even available in Red, I know of gold birds, and silver birds...

The Black/silver lettering WS6 will be Killer anyways...

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

Ever since you brought up the Red,Iv'e found like 4 different styles.I guess I just didn't notice them when I was looking for center caps.
Oh, by the way,I was talking to Steven from Hawks today,he says he knows you.I was inquiring about the Wrap Around Spoiler to see how much the final cost would be on one.I'm trying to get together some other members to see if we can get a group sales thing going.

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

I'm going to revive this thread with some very interesting GM literature that I just came into possession of for the PW7s and the N96 wheels for 86 TA with the WS6 option.It's about the options you had to have to acquire either wheels,very interesting.I know John(okfoz) likes this kind of stuff


This one is dated August 23,1985

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

That is good stuff. Knowing what we know, it seems even in 85/86 GM was struggling with the weight. This matches with what we know about the 91/92 Formulas with the 350 + t-tops + PW7 rims, too.

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

I have 86-F-1, F-2, F-6 & F-8

Could you scan what you have? I will send you what I have in return. I also have copes of the 1st, 2nd & 3rd printing of the Dealer order worksheets if you want to do some sharing. I also have pages out of the dealer book scanned in somewhere around here too...

Mantaguy,
Good deal, I received them this morning.

Now I need to find 3, 9 & 10 and it should be a complete set.

If you want anything let me know and I will email it to you.

Thanks again.

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

Those CDBs are invaluable in deciphering the intricacies of GM's option availabilities and restrictions. And sometimes you still end up scratching your head..

Re: Did 86 TAs Come With

One thing that kills me is I have yet to find a single Chevrolet Dealer Order Sheet, or a single Chevrolet Distribution Bulletin... Only the Pontiac Dist Bulletins & order sheets seem to pop up... I find it odd, because there were more Chevy dealers out there.

I would not think there would be a big difference to how Chevy & pointac dealers ordered cars from the same plant... I would think I would have found one or seen one online by now... Maybe Pontiac guys are more passionate about their cars...
