Looking for a 1896-1989 TA
Hello everyone, I am looking for a 1986-1989 trans am. I am located in Howard County, MD. The color isn't a big deal, but I'd prefer black or red. Black ws6 wheels preferred, but not necessary. if it is a small project, I can deal with that, nothing too major though. T-Tops are a necessity. 305 or 350, doesn't matter, but needs to be a V8. Manual would be a plus. I'd prefer the "regular" trans am, but GTA's are fine too. Also, my preferred year would be either '87 or '88 as those are easier to find w/manual trannies. Will be able to travel out at least ~100 miles. Thank you.

Not bad. So from what I see, it needs new paint, interior restoration, and it has an engine problem. I'm not sure what a code 44 is, but from what I can remember, it's something about the o2 sensor. Is there anything else? Do the t tops leak?

I've fixed the code 44 it was a o2 sensor it needs a tune up I've fixed a lot since December the t tops do leak but only under pressure like when washing the car. Needs headliner and headrest, starter is going bad has a heat soak problem. Other then that its a decent car I'm not a fan of digital dash or the deluxe interior. I just put on 4 new sumitomo tires wagner thermoquiet rear brakes moog idler arm and all new sway bar links. Have new kyb shocks for the rear yet to be installed.

Re: Looking for a 1896-1989 TA
Sounds good. What part of southern MD do you live in? I am open to coming up to look at it on Wednesday evening or Saturday, all day, this week. Also, I'm guessing it passed inspection, since it has tags on it. If you want to give me a call, my phone number is 301-854-1004, you can give me a call tomorrow and I'll be home after 1:00pm, thanks!
