Arrow My New [to me] 97 Trans Am. (PICS)

I finally got it. As the title says, its a 97, fully loaded. Leather, monsoon, t-tops, 6speed. 107,000 miles. Brand new Kumho Supra 275/40/17's in the rear and the same in the front, but not new. Eibach sportline suspension. WS6 hood, SLP twin cold air intake (airbox soon to come) BBK polished throttle body, trickflow intake elbow. Panhard bar, strut tower brace. Flowmaster catback. Oh. and a 120 wet shot installed.

It cost me $4700, it was quoted to me before he fixed some stuff, like the MAF, and put those new tires on it. If I wasn't going to buy it he was gonna sell it for $5000

It's got some imperfections, but what car doesn't? It will all get perfected in time!

The nose came into contact with something pretty good.

Ditch the red emblem overlays. Not only do they not look good on any 'bird, they don't match the black hood stripes.

I posted the miles in the original post. 107k. It cost me $4700. He quoted me that price before he put a new MAF, tuned it up, and put new tires on it. If i didn't buy it, the price was going to go immediately to $5000.

Yes, I plan to get black PONTIAC inserts and black Trans Am decals

He hit a dog doing 60.. He said it wasn't that bad, but the paint has been gradually chipping away.

Enjoy it! I love my 97. I currently have the nose and fenders off so I can repaint them.

Yeah, it's not a true WS6, so i'm guess it was installed aftermarket. I'll get that straightened up sometime

Nice car, with a little work you have a foundation for a really clean car
