Back in late August is when I bought the 1991 Trans Am off of E-Bay. This is what it looked like when I got it home...







First thing I did was change the top as it obviously needed a new one....







In addition to this, I also changed out the cracked dash pad with a good one and swapped out the headlight switch with one with lettering on it. So much for keeping this as a racer / beater...

I was happy thus far, but finally couldn't take looking at the crappy paint job on it any more. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the front bumper was COMPLETELY faded with many chips in it. The hood was in bad shape and the paint around the windshield was peeling away, so I said F'it and did this........

 

All that's left now is tinted windows... and gotta get the crome re-done on those wheels. :thumbs:

 

Looks good. I am doing the same color scheme right now to my new vert'. Black, black top, tan interior, black tint on the windows.

 

Looks Very nice! I'd own it!

Lovin it! I don't think I've ever seen a black on black (now its time to do a black interior) T/A. Where are those pictures located (where you see red robin), god that looks familiar.

 

That's actually over in the Dayton area, outside of the Fairfield Commons Mall.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm very happy with it. Of course, now that I've got it back, the weather has turned cold and it's been raining all day today...

 

You know, a set of chrome C5 Z06 wheels would look right at home on that thing!

 

Beautiful looking bird, im a fan of the white/tan combo i would have have kept it the original color but wow what a change over to black. Looks great.

Id vote to paint the inserts of the rims black also to help match.

Love the 91-91 Trans Ams especally those tail lights.

 

I like it and I hardly ever like verts, but lately Im starting to like them more, and more

 

looks good , any pics of the engine bay , i hope you didnt half *** it and leave it white , but get some tint on there and paint the rims black . looks good though .

 

I'm not usually a fan of that radical of a change but that car looks SWEEEEET!

 

THere was a Black/Black 92 TA at hte Trans Am nationals a few years ago, he had Black Leather Ultima seats the whole shebang, only $5000 IIRC, I was really tempted to buy it.

Looks like a really nice car, Bring it to the Nationals in Dayton This Aug.

BLASPHEMY! It looks kick-a$$, keep it as is! I've got a black on black 91 hardtop.

But, I gotta know... are your door wells and engine bay still white?

Definately want to keep those wheels. I would like to get them refinished and painted black, but can live with the gold on those. Those style wheels just belong on the car.

No I did not leave it COMPLETELY white, but unfortunately I just couldn't justify ( nor did I have ) the money to have it done "correctly". They were able to paint the door jams and under the hood / trunk black, but I went the least expensive route, so nothing was removed. They only got the areas they could get to. It honestly came out much better than I was expecting. The most noticable part that is still white is the firewall, but they got the "immediately visible" area black. There was no way I was going to leave it all white, that is for sure.!!

Here are a couple pictures. It actually looks better in person than these pictures show, plus I still haven't had a chance to clean up under the hood since the paint job...









You can see in the back of the engine compartment the part that is still white. When it comes time to change the motor, I'll get that part taken care of.

 

91 Ragtop:

Those pics of your black ragtop, were they taken in PA at all, that plaza looks just like mine... wal mart?

Crazy...

 

Not bad at all! I just wish they made our rims in 17"

To me, our taillights just don't look right on any car except a black one!

 

The day parking lot ones were in Dayton and the night ones were in Columbus. None in PA, although anymore one place looks just like another.

 

you shouldve gone with red, but overall its a very nice car

 

Nice looker!! shoulda ditched the front plate during the paint job.:ugly:

 

very nice. Even tho I'm personaly against changeing the color of a car. If it a different shade that's ok. But as a Judge at the local car show cause my cars have won 4 weeks straight and that has one happen 4 times before. They have become show champs. So Every few weeks they have me on the judging schdule, and You would get hit for having a white fire wall. But other wise she looking great. Beside fire wall hit would be 50 points. But there is other way to make that up.

 

i got a 1991 trans am 5 speed car like to sell it what should i ask for it..its a nice car from 1 to 10 i rate it an 8 because of some chips in paint

 

Done!! Just moved the plate down to the air dam under the car last weekend. Can still see it while in another car in the front and the bumper itself now looks smooth!!

Since you've posted in the Convertible section I'm going to assume that is what it is. As far as pricing, it really depends on condition and miles. Mine was high miles and needed some things done to it, so I got it for what I considered a REALLY good price. I always go by this principle though when it comes to pricing things.... It's only worth what someone else is willing to pay.
