My dad and I fixed up a 1985 Trans Am when I was 16. It was my first car. The interior was rough and the paint was terrible but we built a stout 350. It was a fun car for a 16yo. I sold it a little bit later and have regretted it ever since. A year or so ago we bought an 84 Firebird to fix up but nothing ever came of it so we sold it as well. Well today my dad and I finally have bought one that we will completely fix up. Almost 5 years after my first. This is what we have now. Its an 87 Trans Am. Paint is almost perfect, has a worn out 305 that will eventually be replaced with a crate 350.

 

need bigger pics but congrats on the new bird!!!

 

Some better pics. Still could use some better ones. You can see my guard dog in one of the pics lol.

 

Looks good with those rims, nice find.

 

aw man usually im not into the two tone paint thing but thats gorgeous, that thing looks classic.. does your dog always smile for photos?

 

Thats a beautiful bird! Kinda wish I had one myself with that two tone!

 

Thanks everybody for the compliments. Yeah he is a very happy pug lol. A guy I went to high school with owned the car before me. I had an 85 T/A at the time that was in rough shape. I admired that car everyday I walked through the parking lot. Its nice to be the owner now. Its going through an engine swap now. Its almost done, should be running tomorrow. Its a 96 Vortec 350 with a XR270HR cam and Hedman longtubes. Its pretty much my dream car.

 

She's a beauty! My favorite color combo on a TA.

My only advice is to get rid of the sail panel decals which are up too high, and the bird on the front bumper.
