I stumbled accross this car in 12/04 at a local dealership while I was out looking for a truck.  It's a fully loaded 86 with the rare Recaro option.  I've as yet to see one with more options.  It even has power seats - extremely rare when matched with the Recaro seats.  The car is currently driven regularly. 
 
HELP!  I need a set of original dealer installed rear window louvers for this car.  MUST have provision for the hatch mounted rear brake light.  I will even consider parts...

Gotta love that classic black and gold look!

86 Trans Am

The car features an anemic 305 TPI motor (86 was the slowest of all the TPI cars).  I did do some upgrades, including SVO injectors, dual cooling fans, new cam from Crane Cams, roller rockers, upgraded ignition, fresh air system, Edelbrock emissions legal shorty headers, Flowmaster exhaust, and high flow cat.  Still not what I consider fast but it's a little more fun to drive than it was before.

The engine crapped out on me in the spring so I installed the 305 from my smashed 92 TA convertible.  It was in good shape so I only freshened it up.  I added Edelbrock coated headers, 19# Bosch design 3 injectors (highly recommended), custom chip, and a Jardine high flow cat-back system.  A new transmission was installed too.  I'm anticipating new paint in the fall.
