hey yall I'm new to the forum and new to thirdgens in general. ive always wanted one ever since seeing a few night rider reruns as a kid, anyway finally got my chance to get one regrettably because my previous daily 1970 Chevrolet impala got totaled R.I.P.
so I was able to find myself a great deal on an 84 trans am lg4 700r4 3.73 with factory "ram air" got this gem for $900 from the original owner who thought it had a blown head gasket and parked it just for sh#ts and giggles I hooked some jumper cables to it in the guys yard and after sitting 3 years it fired up, idled and drove itself on the trailer after burning the old gas out of it it runs great and no blown head gasket

 

Welcome aboard 84BrownBird!

 

thanks man sweet bird gonna take a bit of work to get mine lookin that good

 

Ungawa, Got a damn good deal on that.

 

More pics!!!

 

Cool car. You gota great deal.

 

layed up with the flu right now but ill take more pics first chance I get

 

Welcome, it's a nice looking Trans Am.

 

Welcome and nice price on the Trans Am. I too am a Knight Rider fan and had an 84 myself for a while.

 

Welcome, nice to have company .... another "84" and darn near same colour! LG4, TH700R4 and 3.23s pretty close

 

sweet car the brown is the same color my paint is just crap is the black on top custom

 

Yeah would be the same lower colour, the black upper I did myself to cover the failed base coat/clear coat.

Below the door mouldings on the doors and 1/4s I also repainted, the rest I rescued.

You can likely rescue most of yours as well as yours doesn't look anywhere near as bad as mine was.

Check out my build on youtube it might give you some low buck ideas on stuff you can do yourself!

Have fun doing it, like I said mine was pretty rough when I started so yours looks like it will be easier.
