 I am selling my Jamaica Yellow 1992 Trans Am. This is a true original paint Jamaica Yellow car. Jamaica Yellow is a color that was only offered on Firebirds in 1992, and was only put on a handful of cars. I am not sure of the exact production figures but to the best of my knowledge gathered from reputable sources there were about 35 Trans Ams built in 92 in this color. There were 14 GTAs built and I am not sure if the GTAs are part of the 35 total Trans Ams. Either way, the color is rare. The car is also a very early build car for 1992, it was built on Aug 26 1991 and is the 2600th Firebird built for 1992, possibly one of the first Jamaica Yellow cars.

I bought the car from the original owner in California in 2009. The car has spent it's entire life in southern California and when I bought it I brought it out to Chicago. Since I bought it, I put approximately 3K miles on the car in over 4 years now, all summer time driving and mostly to car shows. The car does have 147K miles on in but you would never guess it from looking at it or driving it. I drove it back from LA to Chicago 2100 miles without a glitch. I have fixed some minor leaks on the car and now it does not even leak anything! Of course the paint is original so there are some chips in the front bumper and on the hood but nothing major. I have spent close to 100 man hours restoring the original paint on this car. Please look at the pictures and you will see that it does not look like it has 147K miles on it. The paint IS all original. I had the car at a number of shows and asked people to guess the mileage on the car by the look of it, most guesses were from 10-40K miles, and these were from other hobbyists. The car looks phenomenal.

The interior is Black Cloth, in very good condition, there are a few cigarette burns on the drivers front seat but they are minor. The seats are not torn, headliner is not sagging. Windows and locks work. Power antenna works! Both headlight motors work.

Mechanically the car drives great, no smoke, not even on startup. It is the 5.7L 350 L98. Auto trans shifts perfectly fine. The front rotors are warped a bit and pulsate so it will need front brakes. The heater core has been bypassed!! PLEASE NOTE that the heater core has leaked in the past and the previous owner looped it out of the cooling system so the car has no heat at this time. I have not fixed it because it does not bother me enough since I only drive the car in the summer.

The car has brand new OER GTA style wheels with all new centercaps. It's sitting on Goodyear GS-C tires that have less than 1K miles on them and are perfect. Everything is stock on the car. The only mod that I made was an aux input into the factory  UX1 cassette player radio only to find out that the radio has dead channels on the right side. So it needs a new radio but the speakers are all new Pioneer factory replacement speakers.

I have been involved with ThirdGens for over 15 years now. One of my previous ThirdGens took first place at the Trans Am Nationals in 2009 in Stock class, that is how meticulous I am about my cars and this one is no different. My username on Thirdgen.org is RPM WOT L 98 if you wanted to research my reputation. This is a beautiful car, in a super rare color, by far my favorite ThirdGen I have ever owned. I am selling the car because I am pretty much out of the hobby, I have been slowly moving out for a few years and have sold all my other hobby cars, saved the best for last. This car has been sitting in climate controlled storage for almost 2 years. I take it out once  a year for an oil change and to get the fluids moving. These pictures here were taken a few days ago, so this is exactly how the car looks and exactly the mileage on it.

Please ask any questions before bidding. The reserve is set fair, I know the market on these cars. Don't let the mileage deter you, I typically would not be too interested in a 147K miles car either, but besides the fact that this car does not look or drive like it has that many miles, it is also super rare and real headturner. The phrase "man when was the last time you saw one of those" is what I hear all the time from people on the street when this car comes out.

Good luck bidding and please ask any questions you might have.
