mosterholt's 1984 Pontiac Trans Am


Welcome to my site! This is for my 1984 Pontiac Trans Am. I find myself the third owner of this vehicle and am proud to say that I was impressed by the previous owners care. I bought the car originally in 2002 and it had 91,952 miles on it. Since I was stationed in Germany at the time, I had to keep it in good condition and keep up with the tradition of garaging it every winter. So, every winter from September to May it was a garage queen! That is until 2005 when I was reassigned to Cannon AFB in New Mexico. Consequently, this thing has never seen snow! Rain? Oh yes..posi on wet roads rules! It now has a chevy 350 bored .040 with just under 2000 miles on it and the 700R4 got a B&M shift kit.  I have a custom Hotchkiss suspension, aluminum 3" drive shaft, custom 3" exhaust, 10-bolt rear end with 28 spline moser axels and a Zexel Torsen carrier with the original performance 3.73 gears.

If there was an option available in 1984, I've got it. Power seats (driver only), power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, power rear hatch release, cruise control, delay wipers, air conditioning, rear defroster and the coolest feature?...T-Tops! It all works too...mostly. hehe As well as a 23 year old car will anyway. It's a real challenge sometimes to keep up with it.

Please go through the pages to see the mods I've added and the accompanying pictures where I managed to take them!
