The second picture is my 1982 trans am after the wheel swap with the car in the first picture. This was taken in 1987 & I spent many hours sanding the gold paint off the lips of the wheels. Took 20 minutes to paint the center caps.....
The 3rd picture was from about 12 years ago when I found the same Y88 & purchased it. Took a picture of both of the Y88's together at my previous home. You can see the wrong rims on it. I was never so happy to have found the car that started it all for me.
The last picture is the same car in the first picture 30 years later in the drive driveway. I took this picture just last year. As you can see I have the correct wheels back on it  |
I love your story. Especially the part about it being the nicest car any of your real friends owned. A time machine would be pretty nice to have at this moment in life. I'd love to hear more about how and when you bought them. I'd really like to hear the story on the survivor that has logged 200 miles the last 12 years.
Also, the survivor car has body side molding. Is that on the build sheet, and is it the tan stick on molding or the universal screw on molding with black insert. Also, how is the paint on the engine? I need to decide soon whether to screw around with trying to match "original color", whatever that is, or just spray it with OER.
You should start a thread.....
