Re: Owners Manual

I don't have a hardcopy of the original owners manual. But I do have the service manual.

eBay, Thirdgen classified ads, swap meets. Try them all.

They used to be available, new, from Helms Inc publishing. They do not show one for 1985 but do for other years so they must not have any prints available for your 1985 at this time

So that leaves buying a used one. There's a few on eBay, such as the example below:

Re: Owners Manual

I found one for the 1985 Firebird. Would that be the same for the Trans Am (since it is a Firebird!). Just checking to make sure! Thanks!!

Yes. The Trans Am is a Firebird and would have received a Firebird manual.
