85 Trans Am WS6, 305HO is getting pulled within a couple weeks in favor of a rebuilt 350 from a 74 corvette. interior is getting new carpet, 93 camaro seats, 97+ console. it needs a lot of work, but i see the potential. big thanks to zepher for setting up the sale.

Looks like a good buy. Body and interior appreas to need a small amount of love but seems straight overall. From the plans, it sounds like it found a good home as well. Are you planning to keep the 2-tone color on it ? I've always liked 2-tone T/A's. I sometimes wish I had done that with my 'bird.

yeah, i intend to keep the two tone.

as for the lt, it might stay in the family. once the 350 goes in the trans am, the lt might get the 305HO. If we do that, my brother might keep it.

i'd keep the lt, but i want t-tops since it's gonna be a sunny day only car, plus i wanted a 5 speed, and the better suspension. i don't have room to keep the lt too. how many lt's were made with the 305?

I believe ALL LT's had the LG4. But as stated earlier, less than 800 were made.

thanks, it's pretty funny because once i decided on the trans am over an iroc, i thought about all the things that i eventually plan on doing, got a picture in my head of what it will be like, and then i saw that your car is almost identical to that.

i'll save it if someone gives me a place to store it. right now it's killing grass in the yard, so it's gotta go.
