this is the third or fourth time he has listed it, highest bid has been around $24K. He wants $30K, good luck with that...

he painted the valve covers yellow to match the yellow accents.....this must be the real deal....if those dont match then it cant make full use of the race oil.

That car isn't even that impressive lol. I feel like most of the cars on here are quicker and handle better.

"Wheels were then ultra high speed balanced and infrared aligned"

That can't be cheap. He's just trying to recoup some of his money..

also, keep in mind...

"Be prepared to be stunned. This beautiful, extraordinarily powerful exceptional handling, rare one-of-a-kind driving machine is yours for the bidding! You have seen other 2002 Trans AM's for sale for $40,000 and $35,000."

He's right about that.. I am stunned, but haven't seen many 2002 T/A's for sale for $40K and $35K.. Maybe that's Canadian?

I'm just surprised a very dumb person has that kind of money to offer for that car. That's ZO6 money. Everyone on this forum with a bolt on car would like even half that offer

Actually I was incorrect, it went to $29,999!
I found the old auction, all over the ad it says its a WS6, which according to the VIN it is not so he changed the description on the current auction. If you look at the bid history though the high bidder has "0" feedback so I would dare to say there was some shill bidding going on.

Thanks! I've watched this 10 times already and I'm getting more and more depressed that I can't spew out that much techno sounding BS.

Dinglearm indeed!
