    A nice little discovery

    Last fall I picked up this car to restore, it was a 1986 Trans-Am 305 TPI.
    Someone before me did a crappy paint job on it, and during their custom paint job they painted the center caps completely brown.
    Well, yesterday I noticed the paint was peeling a bit on one of them so I decided to scrape it off to find that it was not the typical Firebird symbol.
    Instead it said.
    Pontiac Performance WS6 in the center.
    I thought, now that was a nice to find.

      So now the question is: are those the stock original rims?

        Well, my 85 TA is definitely a WS6, but the centercaps were just the Silver Birds.
        But that could of been because the original owner may have ordered it that way.
        I have no clue that the default package WS6 package came with for 85 and 86.

        But it was a nice surprise though, I didn't think my 86 was a WS6 at first.

          My 87 has the WS6 package, but the center caps just have the bird on them.
          Well I sould say they did because I sold the rims last year.

          Thats a nice find though!
          Makes you wonder why he painted them?????

            He painted the poor car Green and Brown..
            I am surprised he didn't add shag carpet and fuzzy dice.

                  Hey now.. The only 4 Cyclinder F-Body I have ever seen happened to be a 3rd Gen Camaro.
                  Now talk about Insanity, that was just nuts.
                  I really wanted to buy that poor car just to put a V8 in it.
