ThirdGen owner again!

It's been about 13 years but I've finally got another ThirdGen! It's a Jamaica Yellow 1992 Pontiac Trans Am. This will be my 5th ThirdGen, but since about 2000, I've only had FourthGens. It feels good to be back. The car came from the original owner and it's in pretty good shape. I plan on doing an LS swap when I'm done with my Formula. For now, I'm just going to get it running good on the old 5.0 TPI engine.

Guessing the T/A pushed the IROC-Z plans to the back burner? lol.

While I do love both Camaros and Firebirds, all of my ThirdGens have been birds so I guess I'm just partial to them. When I do a Craigslist search, its always for Firebirds first. I'd still love an IROC one day, but I just couldn't pass this car up.

As for plans for this car, it's definitely getting a 6 speed LS swap. I haven't decided if I'm going NA or FI. This car is getting built to drive without a doubt.
