This is a big post. I drive this car every single day. Back and forth to work, the grocery store, cruising, racing, weekends, rain or shine. I am the second owner and it has a clean title. Originally a west coast car.
Well here I am again after putting a new motor in it. I am considering selling due to financial stress. And it's not getting better because I have a bad habit of buying more and more car parts. I know what car books for but they never sell for that price and it's hard to gauge because of all the money and modifications Ive done, along with a brand new motor. Here is the info:
-1996 Trans Am WS6
-6-speed t-tops
-115k miles on BODY
-Black on black
-leather and pwr everything
Condition:
Exterior is 8/10. Paint is good. Normal scratches for 13yr old car. Front bumper needs a repaint. Besides that it is excellent - no damage/dings. Front tires are good, rears need replaced soon.
Interior is 9.75/10. Absolutely mint except for verrry minor wear on the driver seat bolster. Has black shift and ebrake boots from redline goods. 97 gauge cluster with new cover. Ebony seats from 02 Ws6.
Mechanically sound 10/10. Runs excellent. I did a cam swap and ruined the original motor. I just replaced it with a freshly rebuilt LT1 out of a 96 Trans Am. Tore it down and did all the work myself. 2bolt main. Clevite rod and cam bearings, Federal mogul main bearings, Melling oil pump sv high press., Seal pro moly rings. All new plugs/seals/everything. The heads have been milled and have a mild home port job and gasket matched to intake. Cam and valvetrain. The motor only has about 800 miles on it and is being broken in on Castrol GTX 5w30 and has been changed frequently since the rebuild. The car runs strong I just whooped a LT4 hotcam car last weekend with ease.
Modifications:
-Ebony leather interior from 02 WS6
-Pro 5.0 shifter LSS
-Redline goods black leather shift and ebrake boot
-McLeod clutch single disc (brand new 600 miles)
-New OEM flywheel at the same time
-New AcDelco optispark
-Taylor Spiro Pro wires
-NGK Vpowers
-Pacesetter ceramic coated long tube headers
-2.5" true dual exhaust, xpipe
-Tuned by Madtuner
-Lowered ~1.8 with Intrax lowering springs
-97 gauge cluster
-Comp Cam 230/236 .544/.555 112 lsa
-Comp Cam 1.6 sa rr
-Patriot gold dual valve spring kit
-Trickflow hardened chromoly pushrods
-Comp Cams 3/8 he rocker studs
-New Cloys timing set and chain
-BMR lower control arms
