Re: New to me: 1984 Trans Am semi-survivor

Finally got the car out of the garage last week and attended the Goodguys show in Columbus OH. Was my first time going to a Goodguys show and I was impressed. Saturday there was over 6,000 cars. Still didn't see more than maybe 10 thirdgens there the whole weekend. It was pretty cool seeing magazine cars in person at the vendor booths. Weather held out. Only rained for maybe an hour and a half on Saturday at the show. Dried the car off the roads were dry by the time we left which worked out great. Got some ideas for the other Trans Am I'm building. Was a really good time.

Found a dealer badge on eBay for the place that sold my TA new. I’m not sure if this is period correct but still a cool find. I’m not going to install it on my car cause I don’t want to add holes. Might try to include it on a future display board.

Man, I will never get over the black and gold two tone for these cars. They all look great, yours especially!

Thanks for the compliment KITT87!
I agree - I think the black and gold thirdgens look awesome. Having a black car is a real PITA to keep up on though. I'll wash the car in the driveway and then dust flies up on it when I pull back into the garage. It's a never ending battle to keep this thing clean.
