MAN, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Very nice!

BTW, ya got rust on your rotor!

 

Very, very nice ev305tpi!! With rims that clean on the inside, its definately been well cared for. That is an area that is sometimes neglected on some lower mile cars. When I bought my 99 TA last fall, the inside of the rims looked the same. It has 20k on it, but was previously owned by a very detail oriented person.

 

My rims look like that also. After a regular cleaning, wax will help keep the dust to a minimum. I should replace the brake pads with ceramic pads. I'd get less dust and maybe I'll stop better!!!

 

Thanks!! Yeah, i'll set some more pics over the next week or two! My 91 is actually a little cleaner underneath, I have more time into detailing it and the previous owner used to take it to shows. Here are a few pics. All still bare steel (with lots of WD40 ....)

 

I know the 10 bolt axles were not painted, but I am pretty sure my sway bars were painted... odd seeing it unpainted.

 

get that baby on a lift and take pics for us! seriously very nice and what we all aspire to

 

Amazingly preserved and/or detailed.

 

The rear sway bars on my 91 and 92 are bare but it's painted on my 87

 

89 Trans Am 350 28K miles

 

Awesome and super rare!!! Love it!!!

 

I love this thread! Some seriously beautiful third gen f-bodies!

 

My latest toy and project--a 1992 T/A factory 5 speed convertible with 59k original miles and full documentation!

 

Damn Erik - your cars are stunning!

 

Thanks

reminder the cutoff for this thread is 50K files or lower

 

OK, seen one, seen them all. 28,900 miles

Thanks

tomato, tomoto, patato, potato.

I still want yours!

 

and I want yours but... there is a difference and I cant keep both..lol

 

I got a quick pic of my 92 underneath yesterday and checked, the sway bar isn't painted on that one too (yes I know I need to polish the exhaust a little bit )

 

I stand corrected, I looked at my 89 Formula 350 conv pictures I had of the rear suspension pieces before I redid them, and sure enough the sway bar was not painted.... I distinctly seem to remember my Yellow 87 was tho on the fronts...

 

A buddy of mine worked at a Pontiac Dealership for over 30 years until they closed & told me the sales manager had him rattle can the back suspension pieces & axle black so that nobody saw them rusting on the lot.

 

I should mention that my 87 is a Norwood car... They had different suppliers.

It does not surprise me about the dealership painting the bare metal pieces... I have done it even though it is technically not "original" it will save them to some extent...

 

Beautiful car, Bob. I get to Huntsville every now and again, would love to see it sometime. I swear I'll have a TTA some day! Only thing holding me back is not having room in the shop for another car, it's full with 3 GTAs!

Great thread, one of the few I check when on the board.

ev305tpi's Camaros are incredible examples of the type. Plus, you won't meet a nicer guy.

I also really like the red 91 TA convertible, SWEET ride.

 

Formula 350 with 39k original miles

 

Very nice Formula!

 

Agreed!

 

Very nice! I never get tired of looking at TTA's!!

 

Rare occurence a couple evenings ago. Took out the MSE to a cruise in. Just turned over to 31k.

 

They sure are nice. I sometime go and just stare and shake my head!

Taking it to a show tomorrow evening...we'll see how it does!

 

That's sharp Kim!

 

Thanks Bob! Hubby doesnt take it out much. It was a cool evening and no rain threat, so he said, lets go and grab some gears! lol

 

Nice! I remember sitting in one just like it on the showroom floor back in the day

 

I love grabbing gears. did so two nights ago showing a good friend the GTA

 

Rare car Kim, what number is it?

 

It is car #55, which is somewhat significant. The same number as the race car that won the 1982 SCCA Trans Am series.

 

My latest acquisition . . . 1992 Polo Green RS Z03 Heritage Edition, <17,000 miles.

 

Andy, is that you?

Once again, beautiful car! Definitely something I will personally nominate for COTM, next chance I get!

 

Yep it's me . . . gotta get my 3rd Gen learning hat on!

 

We're all here to help. Hope to see your car around the neighborhood, soon.

 

Trans Am Nationals was in Dayton OH last weekend. The show keeps growing and some real nice 3rd Gen cars were there. Here are a few of the cars, there were others but I choose to only post cars that weren't there last year.





Here's a pair of nice Trans Am Convertibles.








This beautiful 87 GTA has 15K original miles. It was a time capsule, complete with original Good Year Tires...I would not drive on those but it was a fantastic example of a GTA.





Here's the OP's beautiful 88 GTA. Competition was fierce in this class.





This 50K mile GTA was straight as an arrow. Heck of a nice guy owns it, we spent 30 mins talking.





The owner of this base TA and I talk each year. Great guy. The TA has 15K miles. A true beauty.





The 15th Anniversary car has less than 15K miles, the TTA 45K miles. Both were very clean and nice.

 

thanks man for posting my cars pic man! but its an 88
really some great ones at the show!

here is another

 

Sorry, not sure how I forgot that, fixed above.

 

A coupe of pics of my 14,400 mile '89 IROC that took the other day.

 

Your left rear rim has a spot on it by the lug nut covers. Could be a fly though! Sharp!

 

Bob, I missed a spot...I'll get right on it!

BTW if you look just above my roofline in the cotton field photo you can just make out the Iwo Jima monument in my hometown. This monument was the original cast for the monument in Arlington, Va.

 

That's too cool.
I was at Arlington last year for my Fathers service and seen it.

 

I now know what a cotton field looks like! We don't have very many in Michigan. It joins my sesame seed field memories too!

 

89 TTA #822

 

ttt

 

Are you 100% sure on this? I thought I saw some black on mine, (the front of the housing that the cover is attached to, maybe that is just the color of the steel/iron, what ever it is) and read others of having it painted black. I'll have to go back and look next time I'm over there.
