Hello from Paramus
 

Hey all, new forum guy here. My name is Mason, and I just bought a 1985 T/A, 47k original miles. T-tops, 5-spd, posi rear, 5.0 TBI High-output. This is my second trans am (my very first car was an '88 T/A, 5spd--sold it about 2 years ago). Anywho, just wanted to say hi, and am looking forward to getting to know everyone, and do some meets and cruises :-D

Welcome to the club! You've got a huge following in the Paramus area, I'm in Hawthorne myself and I work in the area at nights so you might catch my car on rt.4 & 17 on occassion.

What color is your car?

How about some pics?! My very first car was a cherry 85 Trans am, love those 3rd gens. Welcome to the forum

It's maroon. I'll post pics after I bring it home and give it a good washing and whatnot (getting delivered this wednesday).

where in paramus? i live just across the border in oradell... work for ppd in dispatch part time as well :)

welcome :cheers:

Welcome Kyle! And this is why he didn't post any photos yet...this is what he has thus far ;)

haha, thanks nick. didn't want to show the pre-buy pics, but no worries. to maroman88--I live on Alden road. If you come up rt17, and pass the McDonalds (by ski barn and metropolitan plant exchange), I live directly behind it

awesome car! funny because that was the absolutely identical car I had, but did many mods to it and made it look a tad bit sweeter. Is it TPI? I did a lot of mods to mine..swapped the 305 tpi out with a 4 bolt 350, did heads, cam swap, had the tranny worked, posi rear..was a cool 3rd gen than sold it before I left for the marines.. look forward to seeing more of the car

sweet... no, not a TPI, it's a TBI--rare option on the 5.0 HO. most came 4bbl in that year

*edit* - my old T/A was a TPI, though

ya I kick myself because I had the same year car, same everything as you but the Tuned port injection which was the most rare because it was the first year of it and not many had it... Kick myself everyday for selling it

hola mr mason

ahoy, senor gardocki ;-)

here's some pics of my old Trans Am... you may have seen her around...

Congrats on the purchase, and welcome to the club!!

welcome my buddy (frankdrivesafirebird) his girlfriend has basically the same car idk if its the same year and hers is tpi though

thanks, all :-D actually, i guess it would make sense that so many 85's are TPI, as that's the year that induction came into play on the T/A's. however, the TPI engines weren't available with a manual transmission that year :-(

that blue bird looks good

Nice TA, congrats and welcome from another fellow Bergen county native. :nod:

yeah, i miss her, but she was starting to have some real problems, and at the time, i couldn't afford to maintain her. i've got high hopes for this '85

welcome.

yeaaa i know that street lol, i also work for bogota pd dispatch and one of our officers live over there.

i think i remember seeing ur old TA up for sale back when

:welcome:

Nice car! Welcome.

:welcome:... I'm in Tenafly so I'm also around the area a lot. i drive a beat old benz though
