Nice solid car with lots of potential, I just put down a deposit on an 86 TA from the original owner with only 45000 miles, white with red cloth interior, 305 with the five spd, even has the original tape deck and the bird on the hood, with the low milage its fairly rare, completely stock, just needs a really good detailing and a cut wax, super exited to get it home, might post a video when im done with it
@@jcr57rt mine is a white. 86 also with T tops. Just picked it up last week. Needs some work, like they all do, but it's a sweet machine. I had an 87 formula many years back!
HEY JOHN.. I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE AND WATCHED IT BECAUSE I ALSO LIKE THESE CARS, IN THESE YEARS ( 82-89 ) AND I WANTED TO COMMENT NOW ON A FEW THINGS. I HAVENT SEEN ANY OF YOUR OTHER VIDEOS, SO I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOUR OTHER TRANS AM, OR ANY OF YOUR OTHER VIDEO TOPICS OR CONTENT. YOU ASKED A FEW TIMES IN THIS VIDEO FOR YOUR VIEWERS TO GIVE YOU THEIR OPINION AND THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND SOME OF THINGS YOU POINTED OUT ABOUT IT. SO I AM GOING TO DO THAT.. FIRST THE PAINT JOB? I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE THE BLUE COLOR AT ALL, AND DONT THINK IT LOOKS GOOD! BUT BEFORE I GIVE YOU MY FULL THOUGHTS, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IF YOU WANT TO "RESTORE" THIS CAR? OR KEEP IT ORIGINAL? THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL JUST CLEAN IT UP AND GET ALL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS YOU NEED TO GET IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. BUT! IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT? : ) THEN I WOULD START WITH THE COLOR! I WOULD MAKE THIS CAR A METALLIC GUN SMOKE GREY. ( ALL ONE COLOR ) I WOULD PUT IT MODERN FRONT SEATS ( EITHER RACING OR YOU CAN USE CAMARO SEATS FROM ANY OF THE RECENT CAMARO MODELS OF THE PAST 10yrs ) I WOULD HAVE THE T-TOPS RESEALED JUST TO BE SURE! I WOULD INSTALL A MODERN SPORT SUSPENSION KIT! * NOW IF YOU WANTED TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE? AND YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND? ( OR CAN DO IT YOURSELF? ) I WOULD PUT ANOTHER MOTOR AND TRANNI AND REAR END IN IT! ( MAYBE AN IROC MOTOR? OR ANOTHER GTA MOTOR FROM THE 80s? OR MAYBE EVEN AN 80s GRAND NATIONAL MOTOR! : ) ( I WOULD ALSO MAKE ALL THOSE VENTS IN THE HOOD, FUNCTIONAL TO COOL OFF THE ENGINE, INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING THEM LOOK LIKE VENTS : / I WOULD CHANGE THE RIMS AND GIVE IT THICKER TIRES AS WELL. OH, AND I WOULD REPLACE THIS SPOILER ON THE BACK WITH AN EARLIER TRANS AM SPOILER FROM 82-83. I THINK THOSE LOOK BETTER. THEY ARE THINNER, STRAIGHTER, AND JUST COVER A MEDIUM SPACE ON THE BACK. I JUST THINK THOSE ARE AN ALL AROUND A BETTER ACCESSORY. ( AND MAYBE A NEW SOUND SYSTEM TOO! : ) SPEAKERS, STEREO AND AMP ) NOTHING TOO CRAZY, BUT THAT WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND NEED MUSIC IN YOUR CAR? OK WELL, I KNOW YOU HAVE ANOTHER TRANS AM IN THE SHOP BEING PAINTED, AS YOU SAID, SO MAYBE YOU HAVE SPENT ALOT OF TIME AND MONEY ON THAT ONE AND YOU WILL NOT BE DOING THAT WITH THIS ONE? I DONT KNOW? BUT THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS TRANS AM FOR YOU.. ENJOY THEM!
Always liked that color combo.
I used to have a 1987 Trans Am in that same color combination. I always liked the colors.

If its been parked since '95 that means it had a rough life for 9 years??? It has potential however. Nice to see you saving these gems!
Nice car thanx for sharing,.....great color combo,....we had cruising in our town, and a girl had one a lot like this one.
Nice ride. That color combo is great! I’m in Western NJ. Love my TA
