Experimenting with some night photography. Northside Chevrolet Marietta, GA April 1988.

 

interior pic...wow, and is that a leather shifter ****? where can I get one now!

 

I still have all the "New Car" papers that came with my T/A....I wish I would have had the foresight to have taken a couple pics with it at the dealer when I took delivery.

Facebook Links aren't working either

 

David M,
I wonder if you got a pic of my Mom's 87 when it was new on the lot. It was bought new Dec 86 from Tom Jumper, Its a 87 L98 white on grey hardtop. I will get you the last 8 of the VIN to compare to your files. I think that would be so cool, if you did. LOL

 

David M,
I photoshopped one of your images. It cleaned up nicely.

 

It's so awesome to see them new on the lot! They were so far ahead of their time. Nothing looked as good back then and everything else looked obsolete.

What a great thread!

Here is my car new in 1985. The photograph was given to me by the original owner when I bought it.

 

Took longer than I figured to get it back but here it is....

I need a time machine....

 

can you get me one too!
hopefully it would fit one. actually there are things I would like a do over for...

 

With some of the things done on this site, we could probably build one out of a Camaro or Firebird!

 

true that.

 

They're already time machines - just slip behind the wheel & it's the 80's all over again!

 

You nailed that one Chris!

 

Some really good pictures here

 

my iroc back in high school in 1989

 

1 week old 86 TA in the traditional American racing white color ;-)

 

Love dem 86s bird poop and all.

 

I didn't even have my drivers license at this point. This was in 1994 or 5.

Stock 1986 Z28 carbed auto with 15x7 crager wheels. haha





Sadly, I soon rolled it on an icy road


I walked away without a single scratch! I went airborne, hit a power pole on the passenger side and as it slide UP the tree it flipped and landed on it's roof...

Luckily no one was riding with me......







Here is my 1986 Iroc( I still have it, but it's torn down ) in 1998

 

Yikes! Somebody was watching out for you NufNuffZ28. I can't believe you walked away from that one given where the windshield ended up.

 

My '84 Z28 was sold new at Quality. That place really started going downhill when it changed names later on.

Well look at that, brand new and the rubber flap is already getting stuck in the door glass.

 

oh my! where did you get that pic from quality Chevy??? wow that brings back memories! I worked with a teen (I was also) and he would park his gunmetal gray GTA next to that shop while we worked.. he had a paxton blower on that thing. I was so jealous since I had sold my 86ta and I missedmmy86ta..lol get it? my login name.. it started that soon after I got rid of it.

 

It's just the picture of yours that I quoted.

I think you are a bit older than me, I never went to Quality on a regular basis until sometime in the late 90's I guess, and it was just to the parts department. The shop I worked at often had me running after parts since we were just down the road. I remember a gunmetal Iroc often parked near the building, and often near a Firebird too. It was teal green from what I remember, probably a '91 or '92 Formula.
