This is my 1983 Trans Am, It is black and gold and is a recaro edition. My dad ordered in from a pontiac dealer in 1983 and has looked this way ever since and i have pictures to prove it. It has a chevy 305 that was bored out to a 350 but later found out that 305 would blueprinted as 350's. It is a 4 speed automatic with the 700r4 transmission, Synethetic transmission fluid was changed every 7000 miles and the car only has 86,000 original miles. Oil used was mobil one synthtic and is changed every 1000-2000 miles. My father has removed all electric wires like cruise control and air conditioner for peak performance. Has removed all the smog pumps and other smog things. It has a unsilenced air intake system. A rebuilt 4-barrel Edelbrock Q-Jet 650 cfm. An edelbrock performer intake manifold. It has SLP headers and it has a SLP Y pipe with removed cats. It sounds mean. Other modifications have been done but will remain unsaid. Car was dynoed last month at 296 hp to the rear wheels and 303 pounds of torque. That is around 350 hp at the crank and almost 360 pounds of torque. Has not been run at the track and probley never will but i predict mid to low 13's. Car has been clocked to 60 in 5.17 seconds. Everything is original , right down to the engine block to the paint. Enjoy the page. 1 of only 3 originals known to date.
Please sign the guestbook and dont forget to rate it and how could you rate this as you dont like it or its only an ok car? You know you love it.
This is what the car looked like in 1984.
This is what the car looks like now. Still reflects like water and paint is in better condition because of all the coats of wax and care. This is the front end shot of the bird, as you can see the drag is low, lowest to date is 82-83 Trans am with a .22 drag.
Side shot.
The paint reflects like water in the sun.
A close up shot of the bird.
The 15 inch Rims use in the series knight rider. Came stock on car but are hard to find now and if you find them you will pay a fortune.
The side bird.
Trans am sitting in the garage.
Notice the stock mufflers and yes they still do shine, Stainless steel!
If your wondering why this car doesnt look stock is because it is 1 of only 3 of this edition known to date and the other 2 i believe have been repainted and has new decals and are not original owners, my dad is the original owner and it has never been repainted or had new new decals put on.
This is my dads mach 1 isnt it just the most baddass picture ever.
This is my dads truck, It has the 5.3 liter in it. Check out his site below to see more pics of the mach 1 and the truck. http://members.cardomain.com/bad5spmach1
