i am trying to do the knight rider conversion and i need tan plastics from a 82-85 firebird/transam. if anyone has anyhting for sale hit me up at 516 356 1226 (Text) please.

 

anyone has anything????

 

I got Alot of tan plastic peices out of a 91 ta, might be a little different, but if interested let me know

 

I have a lot, where did you go?

 

sry having major probs with other car... 02slptransam, i seen your pics but they arent the right color, they seem like a muddy brown color from the pics.

 

i have the light tan 1983 color, not brown. my camera flash card is acting retarded it keeps not intializing then claiming its not formatted,, its pissing me off bad hmm..

i just located the pass side lower dash panel acrossways mounted one molding number 10017421

light sandy beige tan, no where near any brown color at all.

also have just located the below steering column lower dash panel, it has the fresh air vent pull cable cut outs in it and is molding 10017419


the early color like youre talking about, most the ppl here dont know about the 82 83 84 colors being different from other years. they think the early third gens were same as 85-up for some reason. only a very select few of us have early parts. 95% of everyone else has 85-up stuff and has no clue on color changes, even shades,

the car was an 83 bird, i also had an 84 bird years ago that the other one of these would be from. i have never had or parted anything 85 up tan

i have pics somewhere but i cant find them now on my photobucket etc, hummmmm

have hundreds so they got lost in the mess

this is difficult to do, gonna take some time due to technical difficulties etc.

but i probably have a few of what you need, im sure,

i need a new xD flash pic card hum....

ill just keep trying to locate the pieces and get them together to try and get pics hmmm

 

I have a complete camel interior from an 89. Everything.

 

OK, I got out my GM Parts and Illustration Catalog. From 82-84, the color is Medium Doeskin(64), 85 is Light Saddle(62), 86-87 is either Lt Saddle (62) or Med Beechwood (66), 88-91 only has Med Beechwood (66), and 92 has Med Beige (549).

You can find the interior color of your car on the Service Parts Identification sticker inside the Firebird center console lid.



The number followed by and "I" as indicated will be your color

i think it may be too dark

 

it might be. I think the original (at least one of em, not sure if they were dead matches from hero car to hero car) was a med tan, the camel is a _bit_ darker.

However, I think I also remember seeing the stock footage of the cowboy boot on the clearly "corvette" brake pedal in that show too.. (which also turned up in Miami Vice, RipTide, and half a dozen other shows).. so....

 

Yes, 89 is definitely too dark. The '83 that Randy offered is probably exactly what you're looking for, if he can get a whole set together.

ChrisO

 

Every car used on the show was a 1982 Trans Am, Black with Med Doeskin interior, even the stunt cars, all the way through their 4th season in 1986. There was a train wreck carrying a load of 1982 Firebirds and they couldn't be sold, even though they weren't damaged, so GM offered them up and most made it to Knight Rider and others went to Dukes of Hazzard, if I'm not mistaken (YES, I KNOW the General Lee was a Charger! They were used as other stunt cars on the show).

I'm parting out a '84 trans am with NICE code 64 tan

Dave

 

Dave,
Hold that thought...let me make sure my buddy kitt23 knows about this.
Thanks!

ChrisO

 

ok but FYI this must go ASAP my storage unit is PACKED already

Dave

 

how much are you asking

 

$800+shpping

was a hardtop car

not including carpet or headliner

 

im not paying 800 for just the plastics

 

It's for all tan stuff with belts

I have been doing this for awhile now and light tan is VERY VERY rare to get in this condition !!!

if no takers it goes ebay on Sunday

Dave

 

its not that rare and i dont need to get perfect color i dont mind a shade darker. And im a college student i cannot afford that.

 

i dnt need seats either

 

yes it's rare, I know what i'm talking about
but its ok dude good luck

dave

 

i nvr said it wasnt rare i meant it as if your talking like you can never ever get it. It ok rather do business with someone else anyways

 

ok then

 

I have a complete set of tan plastics from a 1982 TA. My fear is the drivers side section alone is so big that the shipping alone likely will be all you are willing to spend, which doesn't work for me.

 

if you can get a shipping cost approximate that would be great. 82-84 is the one i really need

 

Or if you are within a reasonable driving distance, you could do a pickup and forget the shipping altogether.

Chris

 

thats true too.... thanks chris, forgot to add that

 

Where do you live? The weight wont be an issue really, but the size will be a pain. That drivers side section is about as big as a quarter panel.

 

long island

 

That is a bit far to pick up as you are about 12 hours away. My family is all in that area. I may be planning a trip home this fall. But I am not 100% on that.

 

yes that is a bit far, but if you do come visit let me know if you still have the plastics.

 

You should visit a UPS store and see what they'd charge to box up and ship to Long Island. It might be worth it to KITT23.
Just a suggestion.

Chris

 

yes that would be most helpfu;. thanks Chris

 

I've got some early Tan interior panels - but not a whole set. I'm pretty sure I've still got a Tan 82-84 locking hatch cover and rear trim apanel as well as other pieces here and there. The 2 pieces that I am sure I do not have are the 2 that cover the rear speakers ( long one on drivers side and shorter one on pass side. )

If you need to find a piece or 2 to complete your set along the way just let me know.

P.S. Post up your ZIP code too !

 

Actually, those are called the Sail Panels, and if KITT23 wants your parts, he can recover his own Sail Panels with fabric from Hawks...the same used for the headliner.

Chris

 

got a few random pieces, not sure of year.
lmk if interested what u still need.
Thx
Ray

 

I'm talking about the Plastic interior trim panels,..... The ones the cover the body around the speakers. ( Not the fabric Speaker ( panels ) The longest plastic panel is on the drivers side and the other side is 2 parts, the pass rear speaker panel and the spare tire panel.

I do not have those 2 pieces,.... I have most others in 82-84 Tan.

 

Ray - It's very important to know the year car the pieces are from, as after 84 they became darker. So, only 82-84 pieces can be used.
John - OK, I understand now. Maybe Ray has these pieces for KITT23. We just have to determine a year on his pieces.

Chris

 

Ok i found an 88 camaro with a full set of tan plastics, lmk if thats an option.
Thx
Ray

 

Ray,
Thanks, but 88 is too dark. The 82-84s are a much lighter shade.

Chris

 

K thx, i just found it today and threw it out there, lmk if u change ur mind
Thx
Ray

 

Ray,
And thank YOU for looking. Let us know if you come across an 82-84.
BTW, I need front speaker grills for my 84 Firebird, AND rubber gas and brake pedal pads. I don't like the "new" GM pads that they sell, as they don't look original. Also, my brake pedal has "Disc Brakes" molded into the rubber and the new ones don't. So I'd rather have used, original pads.
Thanks!

Chris

 

no prob , will look around and let u know, if i forget , check back !

 

Will do. Thanks a lot!

Chris

 

thanks guys, been so busy. Chris is right though. unfortunately i do need a 82-84 set.

 

OK
