SOLD! :) :'( :) :'( :)

1999 Trans Am - M6 - Pewter

$7,000 firm

Located in Simpsonville, SC.

Trying to get a few hundred above pay off for it to be able to afford a DD beater car. I took a paycut to have less stress in my life, as the job I left last November was going to make me have a mental breakdown. I have a great job now that will have me making great money in a few months, but right now I need to cut down on bills to afford to live until then.

Plus I have a 120 mile round trip each day to make it to work, so I need a smaller, more economical car for now.

Details:

86,000 miles

Rear Tires: P315/35ZR/17 Sumitomo HTR Zs
(was previously posted as Nitto 315/35/17 Drag Radials in the rear, but they were pretty wore out in the middle, so I ordered 2 new P315/35ZR/17 Sumitomo HTR Zs to go on the car)

Leather Seats
Neutral Tan interior

The only interior flaws I can think of are a few long cracks in the upper dash pad, which is common on these cars, as everyone knows. On the exterior there are 2 chips in the very bottom of the front bumper.

Also, you have to muscle into gears sometimes, shifting into 3rd every now and then and down shifting from 6th to 5th and 4th to 3rd every now and then. (synchros?) You can see the thread I started about my Monster clutch by clicking on my screenname and clicking on "Find more posts.." If its a clutch component from monster, the clutch is under warranty. Could be synchros, bad clutch install, or faulty clutch components.

I tuned the car myself with HPtuners and an LM2 wideband. I have a street tune on it until I can get it on the dyno for fine tuning timing and such. Since I need the to sell it, that may not happen, unless I get some free time. The car made decent numbers when I first started tuning, though, after I made only a few changes. I have learned a lot tuning my own car. I have not had the car dynoed with all the knowlegde and work I put into the current tune, though. The only dyno charts I have are of the ones with the previous owner's tune and after I got the AFR a little close for streetability and WOT.

Seeing how the AFR runs what is what is commanded, i am sure if I dyno the car, the curve will look even better and the number will be better than when I first started learning how to tune around 2 years ago. (Thanks to the LS1Tech forum, HPTuners Forum, Greg Banish, and lots of other regular members on the HPTuners forum for directly and indirectly helping me with the art of tuning, the learning never ends)

The car is running a Hybrid tune. I have been from an SD tune to MAF only tune, but decided the Hybrid tune was best for this car's setup and for me.

Few pics, more to come, will get interior pics as soon as I can:

The tune from XXX Motorsports was done when the previous owner had the car. It had drivability issues as a WOT only tune was done when XXX had the car. After I got the car, I put a stock tune in the car and started tuning from scratch.

Beautiful car! You never said what the old dyno numbers were and some of us are wondering. Thanks.

Gotcha, I posted a chart, don't know if you saw it. I edited it into the original post. I posted the image from the dyno software and I scanned in the print out that has the AFR shown as well.

I have a video of a dyno pull when I had the TSP true duals on the car, I will post it when I find it.

damn that is a nice car, gl with sale man that is a give away price

Thanks guys!

Here is a video when I first got the car and the tune from XXX Motorsports was still on it, as well of it having TSP true dual exhaust. I miss that exhaust, but the neighbors gave me dirty looks with it, lol.

I guess this video or more to see what the car looks like than anything else, because everything, but the looks, is not valid anymore.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUQCJjoEqEk

What do you mean by everything but the looks is not valid anymore? You only changed the exhaust and tune.. right?

I hope all else is either the same or better and that this thing is still around when I have the money. It will be mine and sporting a ram-air hood!

clean looking sleek beak dude, good luck with the sale.

Thanks TAtoad!

prokilllsx, what I meant about the "not valid" comment was what you said, it now has exaust running out the back in the form of a Magnaflow Catback, and is a little quieter as well, unlike in the video, where it had the TSP true duals. Yes, the tune as way differnt as well.

I guess not valid was not the correct thing to say.

I have allways wanted a OEM ram air hood, but couldn't justify the cost. One of my firends has a Pewter T/A with the Raptor hood. He got it dirt cheap, it looks sick on his car.

so the car now has a more restrictive exhaust and is de-tuned a little since the last dyno?? I wouldn't think the numbers would drop too much but I don't know.
If I buy your car it will be justification for the expense of a new hood for me :)

Trade for a nice DD?? http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/vehicle-classifieds/1219105-2001-ford-f150-4x4-lariat-supercrew.html

The car is not de-tuned. it has a MUCH better tune on it now then the tune in the video. The tune that was on the car in the video was the tune from XXX motorsports, not mine. That video is really old. Soon after that video I bought HP tuners and tuned the car myself.

The dyno sheet that was posted shows what the car put down near the beginning of me tuning the car, it has no relation to that video, that was a whole seperate, dyno pull from a long time ago.

If I dynoed the car now, the numbers should be even better than what is on that dyno sheet. And that is with just street tuning it. And if I can tune the car on a dyno, I would really get all the potential power to the ground and make even better numbers that that, as well as a better curve.

Great. Thanks for answering all my questions. I hope to get the money together real soon to buy it from you.

Interior and underhood pics please?

I am working on that. I can get those posted Saturday. I have to go sell a guitar of mine tonight and tomorrow after work its my firend's wife's birthday party, so I will be in no condition to be near a car, lol.

I know you say firm, but would you take 5500? Thats all I can come up with

i'd buy it if it wasnt pewter lol

Sorry, but I have a payoff amount right under 7,000. I have to have 7,000 in order to be able to afford a beater car.

Thanks for the interest though!

Oh, come on. Pewter is cuter, lol

Your pics make me like the pewter better, I'm gonna look at the twin to yours with an auto hopefully this weekend

Thats a f ing steal. You won't have that long. Nice Ride.

Thats's a nice truck, but I am needing something above the 30 mpg area. I am curious, how would trading vehicles that have money owed on them work. I am sure the lender would not like it and make it hard to do for the barrower that still owes on the vehicle. I could see a bank looking at how much a vehicle is worth and not letring the trade happen until the loan is paid off.

Someone would have to pay to have the title cleared up.


Beautiful car... just one month shy of what I can do....

NIce car wish you were closer...

I flew to FL from SC to buy this car when I purchased it and drove it back. I got a good deal on tickets though. Come on down, I will pick you up at the airport and get you cruising in this thing back to KY. lol.

Seriously though, if somone wants to do that, I am willing to pick you up. Ofcourse you would want to see pics of the interior and engine bay, which should be posted this Saturday. And there is nothing like being able to test drive a car before you buy it. Or have somone in the area close to the car that you know come test drive it for you.

thats common now days LOL the beauty of the internet,:eyes: I went 500 miles to chicago for my sierra

Pewter looks great and don't you even think of selling that car for less than you're asking. Unless, of course, you are selling it to me.

beautiful trans am and a perfect price at 7k. if only I had the $! best of luck with your sale!

PM sent.

I completely understand you not accepting the offer. I just figured I would ask since thats all I have. You never know if someone will accept something so you have to ask before you can know for sure.

I wish you well sir on your car and the future sale of the vehicle. I was never a fan on Pewter but YOUR car was done correctly to make that Pewter Beautiful. Kudo's to you for pulling it off.

Best of luck.

Any pics of underhood and interior yet?

Pics finally posted of the engine and interior in the original, 1st, post.

Update:

The rear 315/35/17 Nitto Drag Radials are being replaced with brand 2 new P315/35ZR/17 Sumitomo HTR Zs, as the rear Nitto Drag Radials were pretty worn out in the middle.

Now, for the people planning to come look at it from great distance, if you decide to buy it, you don't have to be so careful when it rains, lol.

Thanks,
Andrew

Nice car! If my car was paid off I would do this, but unfortunately, I owe for about what I am selling, and have no money to pay down the loan to justify trading for your car. Nice ride though!

Thanks! Hope it does sell quickly there are a lot of people in line to look at it in person, hope they like it.

Replied to your PM.

I'm also very interested! Have to talk it over with my dad quick and we will see what i can do. You literally have my dream car, i've always wanted your car haha

Awesome, glad to here you like the car.

Sent you an email, will send another with contact info.

I can gauruntee you a purchase for 7k. The only problem is i would need time to sell my 67 Firebird and 98 Z28 Camaro to get the money :-\

There are a lot of people in line that are suppose to come buy the car within the next 3 weeks. A few want to come this week, but I am going to be out of town from Thursday to Monday.

For everyone in line for the purchase of the car, I am trying to keep you all informed about everyone else and when they are suppose to be coming and looking at/buying the car.

Look for updates in the form of PMs and Emails. If you are interested in the car, send me a PM and I can get you in line and informed. We all know there are a lot of "talkers" out there that say they will buy the car but never do, or never get back with you about coming to get it. So just let me know if you are interested, who knows, you just may be the next in line.

I think it's safe to say the car will be sold within days - shows what happens when a really nice car is priced very aggressively, even in a slow economy.

Good luck with the sale - it looks great!

i completely agree. I wouldn't have money for a few weeks to purchase the car. by then i know it will be sold, so i'll back out of the running. If only i was old enough to take out loans haha. Goodluck with selling your car, i hope i can find a deal as good as this in the future

Im third in line, if I get my turn sorry guys it will be sold....hahahahha...Bump for honest seller..I had deal to buy another car but guy sold it out from under me to local buyer before I could get to it..after we had reached a verbal agreement..
