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 
-Mason

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?

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

thanks, all 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
