Just made an account and thought I'd say hi

Picked up my first third gen yesterday. It's the 83 Trans Am Daytona Pace car. Was sitting awhile before I bought it. It's missing a few things like the white aero wheel covers and doesn't have the decals on the door.

The body is fairly good only some surface rust on the rear quarters

Surprisingly the dash is in very good shape. No cracks at all however, the leather/suede Recaro seats are in pretty rough shape.

I'll get some pictures soon

I don't know much mechanical but hopefully will learn a lot here

 

Can't wait to see it

You could also check out the earlythirdgen.com community, it may not be as active as thirdgen.org but it's full of information.

 

Here are some pictures.

congrats and welcome to the site, nice car these are getting harder to find and an 83 pace car definitely makes my future want list.
just wondering do you know if the engine is original to the car i thought that all of the 83 pace cars had either a crossfire engine with an automatic or the 4 barrel carb (lg4) engine with a 5spd.

 

Congrats and welcome. Joined a few months back, it is a very helpful place.

 

When I bought the car I was told that everything was original and that the engine was numbers matching

 

I like those old pace cars. Good find.

 

Unique and special car. Congrats on the find.
