Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
well the GTA was supposed to be a euro spec type car (BMW rims and paddle mirrors) so that kinda makes sense.

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
Not sure on Dayton, really wanting to go to Myrtle Beach for F body beach bash and I doubt I can afford to do both by time I get the rear I want and get it in the car.

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
I had it all black with black wall tires and everything then one day at the race track I seen the white letters on a few cars and was like hmmmm wander what that would look like on my bird. At first I just stenciled the letters on with white spray paint and fell in love so I got real white letters and they just define the car. Who knew that something little like that could define the car lol :P

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
I am 44 and married with kids. My car goes to my 12 yr old Son when I pass away. I wont let him have it till then. maybe he will be mature enuf by then.
I love having a 305 with a better cam and gears and mixer. I will run 0-60 neck and neck with most stock 350 3rd gens. I think it is one of the best kept secrets

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
Not really living the dream as much as I think I am! That 305 is a TANK! You're a great Dad, when I was 16, my Dad ALLOWED me drive the '84 Corolla...with no reverse! I'm the family Marine and my lil bro is the family Fed. He has a 40th Anv Mustang GT sitting in Pop's garage with next to no miles on it. He's in NY and travels via train or subway (He drives Dad's Camery to the gym!). My car SOUNDS faster than it is!

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
I find most people in general around here don't even know what it is let alone what might be under the hood. So far this year (despite the fact that it says Trans Am on every side of my car) A teenager asked me if it's a Corvette and a woman asked me if it's a Ferrari

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
IMissMy86TA - No, you ARE a great Dad. I love the guy to death but, my Dad (He worked for Bell back in the day...we always had cool phones on the wall!) sold the old beat up '74 Nova, not too long before I turned 16...just couldn't hold on to it...it wasn't the right thing to do "financially" he needed the $300 to put towards a Japanese car during the initial J-pan car craz! But I'm not one to talk, my ex-girlfriend has a loaded-out, black leather, nav, Sat radio, dual sunroof, power everything, heated seats, AWD, Techno Orange 2011 Kia Sportage. I took that thing off roading on the beach, snowbarding, hunting and in the desert. For $30k, the thing is awesome! Especially with the 100K, 10yr zero deductible wannety. But, she saw me blasting around the beach in the Bird, right when I got it for $500, and still wanted to trade! You can't go wrong with that Hyundai Genesis Coupe, I looked into it, they're not cheap. Its still a ton of performance for the price. Downside is I'm sure you'll be funding the North Korean Nuclear program! In reality, Kia and Hyundai are #1 in sales this year.
lb9 GTA - Someone out here is rock'n a old Pantera, I see it flying around all over the place. I ended up next to it at a light (the car is sweet) and the chick in my passenger seat, was like "Look at that POS." I returned with "Yes, Honey...now get your feet off the dash." LOL! Those Pantera's are bad-a*s.

Man that looks like my 86 I had in 86-87! I like the non-glossy spoiler!
here is my original 86 back in the day... everyone thought it was cool without the tape stripe on the bottom... then the GTAs came out and they all were missing the stripe

Re: Post pics of your black firebirds !!!
Thanks i wish it was in good condition...its the rubber spoiler....i like it better than the fiberglass one ,,,but i doubt i can find a rubber one i good conditon... as far as the strips sometimes i feel like putting them back on with the original rims. i imagine it would look better no wwith the upgraded paint and lowered stance.

and I like the original rims better. I would of kept these formulas silver IF I had a black or gray interior and badges. I wanted my GTA to look like my old TA which I think looked better.
