7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Just picked up this 1982 trans am with 7K miles!!! Can't even find a swirl mark on it :). Came with the original 15 inch turbo cast with caps that were taken off the day the car was bought. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...b9204a6308.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...b4a5e241a0.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...b023f55e3d.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...49decb0631.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...69a8d1b00d.png |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Not cheap - but might be worth it on this car. http://www.kelseytire.com/pages/preformancetires3.html |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Got the wheels back on.... soooooo much better. I'll be ordering new Eagle GT tires for it because i agree, don't wanna drive on it with 34 year old tires. I'm a auto detailer on the side so i'll be detailing it this weekend and then i'll shoot a walk around video for all of you :) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...9a18e4c86a.jpg |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven I am sure you are aware that those bowling ball hubcaps have a tendency to fly off at high speeds. Be careful with them. |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Oh i know.... I have a kitt 82 replica too. With my kitt i zip tied them. I really don't want to do that to this car or do you think it wouldn't hurt the value? https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...50672b3871.jpg |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Damn I miss new third gens. Beautiful car |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Very nice ride. Is it a Van Nuys or Norwood car? If it is Van Nuys, I would check under the front seats and see if the build sheet is there. Found them there on both my low mile 82 cars that were from Van Nuys. |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven If you really can't stand those wheels I'll take them off your hands free of charge:) |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Oh I have the build sheet and every detail that has ever been done to the car https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...ef215ead12.png https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...4980a2c66.jpeg |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Got that ugly louver off the back window with no trace of it ever being there 😍 https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...92604bf8fb.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...e81d9b22dc.jpg |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven NICEE Car Chris !! Black/Gold,Tops,WS7, N89's. I'm very partial to that paint scheme and wheels myself lol ;) and not many around with those miles. Saw it on Ebay for $15K, I know its none of our business, I say If you payed $10K or less, you "Stole it" !!!! What I REALLY find strange It's a Van Nuy Built car that was shipped to a OH Dealer ??? Was Norwood IDLE or a strike ?? Dave |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven If the louvers are OEM and not aftermarket, there are a lot of people looking for an original set. These weren't available in 1982, so they don't look right on certain earlier models. They didn't look right on my '82 Pace Car, but would look fine on other 82-84 Z28s. Your set also wouldn't look right on your car. |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven The louvers are a brand called shadow. I actually still have the receipt and instructions for it. Seems like on the forums that this was one of the best louvers to buy. What you think they are worth? Would love to get some money back on something lol.... they are as mint as mint can be https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...09f7434e58.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...f98c6f9272.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...dbacf36c8b.png |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Unfortunately I paid 15.... I told myself that I would never spend that on a third gen but I can honestly say this is the cleanest trans am of any year I've ever seen... I just had to have it lol. No buyers remorse from me |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Was Looking At The Window Sticker Can This Be A Typo Error,I Think Auto's Went For Around $400 Back In 1982. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thi...07c8eb35ce.jpg |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Good catch, I think they did too.

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven That car is a great reference for somebody who is restoring an early third gen. The finishes on the mirrors and wing caught my eye. |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Wow, those wheels, the louvers, the paint scheme... whoever owned this in 1982 was getting some attention! |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Such a great car and so well preserved. Have you checked the hood yet? Look for a big A up on the underside of the latch brace - towards the passenger side. |
Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven love the story great car good luck and congrats love the stock untouched cars |

Traded it off in 1988, one of those I should have never sold! Enjoying the pics, keep them coming. |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Isn't that build sheet an example of what one should look like and not the one for this car? |

Re: 7k Mile 1982 trans am.... I've died and gone to TA heaven Just spent the past two days detailing the outside. Looks show room, can't find a blemish on here.

They do not come off at 120. I added spacers to chrome lug caps ( washer section was too high) to match the chrome center caps.
