My first car - 1987 Trans Am
Hi everyone,
A few months back I bought my first car, a 1987 Trans Am hardtop. It has the LG4, 700r4 auto, and 3.23 posi. Nothing special really, but it is a very nice car and will do fine for me. I bought the car from the original owner, who purchased the car new from the GM dealership about 20 minutes from where I live. It has since done almost 230 000 km, but was very well cared for. A few years back she had it repainted in the original colour, Black Sapphire Metallic. Other than that the car is original, with the exception of normal wear items like tires and battery. Inside, the car needs a new dash pad, floor mats, and rear seat back(well cooked from the sun), but is very clean otherwise. Please excuse the somewhat murky pics, the car won't be seeing the outdoors until the weather get better.

Re: My first car - 1987 Trans Am
Thanks for the kind words visitor. Decided to tackle the power antenna. Predictably, the nylon cord had broken. The mast was also in pretty rough shape from being left up, so I ordered a replacement from Modern Day Muscle. I had to fab up a mounting bracket - mine was nowhere to be found- and then reassembled everything. Also repainted the trim nut when everything was apart.
