At a wall need your opinion

As I'm gathering motor parts for my 86 ta and I came across a 97 z28 30th anniversary that will be given to me. The z needs work too. I'm not gonna be able to keep both cars so I dont k ow which one to keep. Keep the ta or the z28 or strip the z of everything and put on the ta. I'll add pics of the cars when I can

not many people will see a 4th gen camaro and think its anything super cool because they're seen on the road daily but when they see a thirdgen T/A drive by they stare.

Honestly it depends where you passion is. The '97 will hold up better over time due to the way it was manufactured, but the '86 is a classic. If it was me I would keep the '86.

Re: At a wall need your opinion

I'm torn between both honestly. I know this is a third gen forum and sure the third gen more favored. But out of the 4th gens you see how many are a 30th anniversary like I posted white with orange stripes. But how many thirdgen trans ams do you see also. I don't see either where I'm at. All i see is third gen camaros and just plain 4th gen z28's. So it's a toss up for me.

I was considering taking the lt1 drive terain out of the z and put it in the ta. I was also considering taking the interior out of the z, redoing the leather in a grey and put in the ta. But it's one of them do I want to cut up a semi rare car.
