"A nice muscle car with great looks"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers side seat is ripped.

Needs bodywork, and a new floor.

T-tops leak like crazy!

Needs a paint job.

Needs an exhaust, from the cat back.

Needs a headliner.

General comments?

Pretty gutsy for a V-6.

Runs great for a car with almost 200,000 KM on it!

Interior was in great shape.

Great dashboard, with really original red lights instead of the usual green.

Trans Am only came with a V6 in 1989, never was a V6 model in 1984. You have been duped...

That's not good but it could have been worse. Indeed, the line up began with a four cylinder (?!) 2.5 liter effort with throttle body injection, next up was the V6. This is what you have old chap. It's a 2.8 litre V6 and if you say it's gutsy, it could be the 135hp injected model (did that exist in 84?)

If so that's ten horses down from the base Trans Am anyway, it was only 145!

Re-guarding the T-TOPS on these fbodies leaking, if the rubbers are OK then you must make sure the two ends of the black strip down the middle on the out side of the roof are 100% sealed, not even a pin hole.

If the rubbers are good then that's the only place it can leak from.
