83 Recaro Edition Trans Am Barn Find!(maybe)
a couple weeks ago i bought this 83 Trans Am which i believe to be a Recaro Edition for 700 bucks. I have yet to find any kind of build sheet to confirm this for sure so i might get PHS Docs to see if it is real or not. but just thought id let u guys check it out and see what you think. Its pretty rough.

Cool. Great score. Never find anything like that in N.Y.
You should actually post this in the History section. You will be sure to get better feedback over there.
