Spotted this gorgeous 86 a block or two from where I grew up at. Been trying to catch the guy outside so we can talk

Spotted this cherry today at a local shop. No plates on it looks super straight and clean. I felt compelled to go in and ask about it but I’m not a Camaro guy 😁

Tried to give this guy a thumbs up when I was along side him. He didn't care much to see another thirdgen alongside. Clean car though.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Here's a T/A I see every once in a while at a Lowes parking lot where I park the truck to eat my lunch, they must daily drive it as I see it often. It's not too bad of shape, rear wrap around spoiler is gone though, I thinks it's an 87 based on the color.

Just saw what I think is a rare bird today, a 91' or 92' Jamaica yellow Trans Am convertible at a custom shop on my way to work.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
the psuedo side pipes and the jacked up rear scream trailer park,luckily it doesn't have 2nd gen offset wheels sticking out 5"
but with all that crap ripped off it would be a nice daily.

Was up in the NC mountains, specifically at the Tail of the Dragon, with some Brothers on our bikes. Noticed this gem and had to get a picture. Replaced the original with a 383ci. Had some electrical issues on his first run. Did some troubleshooting / fix on the alternator, but still having an issues. Guy said it's been in the family since new.

Scoped this out in the parking lot at Kroger in Bourbonnais IL earlier today. Those Centerlines look vintage though I don't recall ever seeing that style before. Looked to be a low mileage preserved ride.

Or we could just stalk from our computers, like our German friend does. What privacy?! His post was in 2015, and the Google picture was from 2011--and still shows up nine years later! I wouldn't be surprised if the car is still right there. I should take a drive up to Tonopah.
I always feel like a creeper, so I usually don't do this. And people are so whacky these days, it could be the end of your world as you know it.
In a neighborhood that I ride my bicycle through there's one home with two white 1984 Trans Ams, a black 1986 IROC, and a black 4thgen LS Trans Am, with regular visits from another black 4thgen Trans Am and a silver 4thgen Firebird.
Another part of town has this one... way back there behind all the other junk cars. Appears to be an 87 GTA. I felt like I was in someone's sights:

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
Check out this rarity. Not one but 2, side by side and backed in. I could not believe my eyes, a true Parking Lot Papa! I think I may have seen the Z on this site.

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
I've seen this car several times from about 100 yards away and it looked pretty good! I saw it up close for the first time today, and unfortunately, it's pretty rough

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
top unsure what year looks like a project that didn’t get finished along with an early second gen in the same sad state
middle daily 91-92 looks clean
Bottom may have to zoom in to see this one but I has been sitting there a while

Re: Parking Lot Paparazzi
