I hope you mean the camera! That bird looks like it's worth well over 2,000 , but those are some pretty good quality pics

Post some more pics when you get a chance

Car needed a transmission when i got it. ZERO rust anywhere, undercarrage is completley solid, 5.7, now a new 700r4 I had anyway is in it, car runs like million bucks, digital dash (car was off, thats why SES is on) :




I figure for $2000, its an investment! Sold my l98/t5 Formula and bought this. I will try and get more pics today after hookin' up fogs.

Re: New camera, new car, new pics ;)

Light's ok in one of the above shots.

It's the only picture that really shows off the nice paintjob the car has.

As for the rest, you could have gotten better shots with a flashgun mounted on the camera or by observing ambient light better before positioning the car.

Great car, so-so pictures.
Does teh camera have the option to use a flashgun?

Re: New camera, new car, new pics ;)

Makes sense
I might not have a clue about automatic transmissions, but if you ever have questions about camera's feel free to ask. I might be able to advise.

I'm still in doubt on whether this dark red metallic looks better on the trans am then black or if black would look better.

I'm tending towards the red though.

And this is the 3rd he's made in just over a month about this car. Rediculous. Can't you keep it in 1 thread???? I know your proud of it but, in order to keep things easier to dig through newer messages...quit making new ones every time you snap a photo, clean something, have a leak, or swap something.

Thanks, I feel like Micheal Knight every time I drive, lol.

When I popped the crty fuse (bolt in 12v plug) the speedo went down to 0 and trip comp. shut off, I was like KITT! KITT TALK TO ME! lol

Owning this thing in 1988 would have been AMAZING

Nice looking car. I just sold a Formula to buy a Red GTA this week too! I always wondered why GM never gave the maroon GTAs maroon badges.
