Re: 1985 trans am
Check the VIN. If the prefix begins with a 1G2FS then it's a Firebird or Formula (note Formulas didn't appear on ThirdGens until 1987) or if the VIN prefix begins with a 1G2FW then it's a Trans AM or GTA (note GTAs didn't appear until 1987 as well).
From the pictures you posted, it's either a Firebird or if it's a Trans AM it's missing a lot of Trans Am body parts.

Re: 1985 trans am
Lack of a.) fender vents, b.) ground effects of any kind (note: no holes for lower door effects even) and c.) non-Trans Am hood (4 vents) also leads one to have doubt as to the validity of the Trans Am claim...
But, also, many things could have happened to the car since 1985. "There's many a slip twixt a cup and a lip"

Re: 1985 trans am
so as far as the title matching the vin sticker and door sticker but as said before "the car is also missing heat and wipers and a plaque on the dash as well it has a small one that says performance suspension and i looks like there was a bigger one above that" but yes stuff was changed before because engine bay was painted black. the hood was changed and is original black because there is a rust spot in the middle of it and the fenders and bumper is loosely applied and the car was sprayed primer black and inside the hatch area and the rest of the car is white as it states on the title
