hey all i just bought back my 85 trans am i haven't seen in five years, the entire interior of the car has been stripped which means no rpo codes... I was wondering if anyone knew if in 85 the car could come with this paint scheme or not... these pics are of when i had it the first time but nothing has changed on the exterior just the bumber cover flaking worse

I got a close up pic from the G-BODY forum I"m also at and the rims look about the same (minus the center caps in my pic) should be able to take the pic to a reputable dealer and find out??

Graduated in 2000.>>>>>>> Brown 84 trans am with the l69 ho 305 and a 5 speed. I still have the car,<<<<<<< since then have put in a 350 and 700r tranny. And been in the process of doing the knight rider conversion, which is close to being done. My dad bought me the car in 97. Had it for a long time.

I think american racing used to make rims that looked like that but I don't think they make them anymore.

that's what they were was american racing, and that's also why i can't find them anymore

white gold 88

villie, look on the rad support, on top in the middle. Most have a metal tag on there with a two digit number. This should be your paint code in 2 digit form. Paint supply store or someone else should be able to convert this to a WA number that most paint stores use. I've seen a list of available colors somewhere but can't remember where now. It's not in the manual I have.

ok thank you i'll check when i get the car here... not sure if it still has the rad support in it... the car has been pretty much stripped before i got it back, the pics i have of it are from the first time i had it when i was 16 and stupid

85's came in gold metallic. Gold hood birds on black and dark gold metallic cars black bird on all others, except aero package which had optional silver bird. Hope this helps some.

thank you that helped alot, that is exactly what i was tryin to figure out, i'm still kinda clueless on the alpine cassette player with the factory amplifier in the rear hatch cover "the useless compartment on others"

ES87iroc

The ones on the car are a chrome plated steel wheel that lots of companies produced in the 80's and early 90's.

The second wheel is a clearcoated aluminum wheel, american racing number AR-26. They are long out of production, I bought a set on closeout way back in 1997.

yeah i have yet to find a set anywhere that is complete and are actually in good shape
