I have to ride down a road that has nothing but mechanics, auto body shops, and graphics shops to get to my trail. Anyway, on the way to the trail this afternoon, I see the beautiful bumper of a Pontiac third gen. On the way home, I poked around cuz the door was open and the owner's brother let me see the car and told me what he knew:

 

so what happened...did you buy the car or something

 

It's obviously a work in progress but he is getting close with it. The best part so far was the engine bay: 383 Stroker with many upgrades including a custom 3 inch exhaust and Z28 tips. The suspension looked beefy and readt to go.

 

The best part was the interior. He added a 6 speed manual transmission. Very nice performance package that I'm guessing will be out of paint in under a month or so.

His doors had been redone I think b/c there was absolutely no sag in doors an the interior looked really good. Since this just happened this afternoon, I send the dude the pics I took of his car and invited him to the forum. It turns out he is a Design and Graphics Specialist (think cars).

Really nice car... maybe he'll show up here and provde details.

 

Looks really clean.
Makes mine look dirty!
Looks like an '89. How many miles were on it Mike?
I see the steering wheel controls, but I see he has the older map pocket that says Trans Am.
Wonder what else is modified on it.
I see headers, slp cai, what intake is that?

 

looks like a TPIS miniram, awesome car btw!

 

ah, very good.
i saw the tpis throttle body plate, but wasn't sure.

 

man thats awesome, better get him on these westcoast boards. does the owner of the car work at that shop?

i noticed he is doing what i am gonna do, paint the engine bay a dark color. he used speckeled it looks like, im keeping mine gloss black (secret mod),

those must be custom door panels huh?

and hey mike, i gotta pick on you. you said the best part was the 383 stroker then next post you said the best part was the interior, you must really loved that car in person

 

The speckled engine compartment looks rad, I noticed that too.
Door panels look like mine, just way clean!

 

Yep... it is an '89.

Since the shop is right on my way home every day, I'll keep an eye open for them when I go by. If they are there, I will stop and talk to the owner. His brother was very cool and I am sure he'll be glad to talk about the car. It is sweet.

 

Got me there. What I liked best was the whole idea of that car with that engine with a 6 speed manual sitting in the console. I would pay to test drive that car.

~sigh~

 

I wonder if it passes smog,he still has all the smog equipment on it.No sense in having it on if you'de fail anyway.

 

you got one funny sig man

 

The TPIS Miniram is not smog legal.

 

Benny has it and he works at a smog shop, wtf?! Sure looks sweet though

 

i have a 6 speed what will you pay me to test drive hahahaha

 

he cant smog his own cars.

 

You? A Camaro?

A hearty handshake.

 

gotta pay me to drive your car, prolly fall apart on my on the highway and i would die.

 

 

Make up ur damn mind already

 

It was damn good... I can't decide.

 

mike i got a 6 speed also, u want to pay me for the test drive. i need to pay the montly payment

 

you must suck at being a mechanic anything ive done on that car youve helped ahah

 

my help is the only reason its still alive

 

Based on where the fuel injectors are, it looks like a modified LT1 intake, probably with a TPIS throttle body. Nice, nonetheless.
