Default 3rd Gen fans, wanna see a SUPER CLEAN '92 T/A?

This car is one of only 334 Trans Ams built with the 350ci V8 for 1992
(excluding GTA). It was a very low build year for the T/As.

This particular car has about 44,000 fair weather miles on it, originally
from North Caraliona, now relocated to the northern IL region as of summer '06.

It's winter-free and it shows, the condition is excellent. Mechanically it's
stock other than a flowmaster muffler. Cosmetically it's recently been
upgraded to some Ronal R15s in a 17X9.5" size
(same as the '91-'92 Firehawk wheels).

The car belongs to my very good friend of 11 or so years, he's a 3rd gen
fanatic & expert, and this is his most recent 3rd gen acquisition. He's
registered on this board but is more frequant on thirdgen.org, so I thought
I'd post these for him here.

Personally, I think this is a badass car that any 3rd gen lover should be able
to appreciate. One of the nicest 3rd gens I've ever seen in person.

I'm actually afraid to park near it at car shows next year because I doubt
anyone will even notice my car with this beauty sitting next to it.

Whaddaya guys think?..........

Nice! ^^^^^ That Pontiac centercap on the ZO6 wheels is a cool touch. Not to mention the little surprise in the engine bay!

I really miss my 91 Formy I still have it, but I need to sell it :\



The red above is reeeeeeeeeealy nice. That's a nice Firehawk clone. However, as a T/A it's got a GTA hood o_0 I have GTA tail lights and rims on mine.

Actually that hood was standard issue on both the T/A and GTA. It's stock.

For a Firehawk clone, you'd need to have a Formula like yours (VERY nice car BTW!! Too bad you can't keep it). All the 3rd gen Firehawks were Formulas, other than one T/A 'vert but I'm not sure if that car was sold to the general public or not. I'll have to consult a 3rd gen expert on that one.....

Ah, nice to see that both our old cars live on, at least in pics. ^^^^^ Good memories.

And for those who haven't figured it out, RPM Mark is the owner of the T/A in my original post. He's a lucky guy.
