Re: What year is this Trans Am & Z28

The trans am could be a 1983 or 1984. What are the first 11 letters and numbers of the VIN numbers from both cars?

Re: What year is this Trans Am & Z28

The white ons appears to be the remains of a 1983 Daytona 500 Pace Car Trans Am. Pretty cool, but pretty toasty, unfortunately. What sort of t-tops does it have? They look to be the aftermarket cloth tops, but I cant really tell, probably just the anlge of the picture.

The Z28 is 82-84, garden variety FrankenCamaro, complete with '86 hatch. Or is it an '86 Camaro with 82-84 bumpers and gfx?

^^^This^^^

Everything that made the Daytona unique looks to be gone except maybe the fender emblem. The Recaro seats, wheels, etc are missing.

The Camaro looks to be an 82-83 Z28. The twin muffler exhaust wasn't around in 86.

By the way thank you all for the feed back it's greatly appreciated! It's a shame the trans am is such junk if it was a pace car version.
