Default Brought her back to Texas... Low Miles SOM WS6 inside

Well this car has had quite a background.. As far as I know im the 5'th owner. The car has 35,000 miles as of now, I picked it up in Mississippi from a well known member on here. The day I flew out to pick it up ( January 7'th ) was the worst possible day ever to pick up and drive ANY car with drag radials on it. It rained literally from Baton Rogue, LA all the way to 45 in the middle of Houston, I wasn't complaining about the gas mileage though! Going 45-55 the whole way I managed to get away with 32 MPG hand calculated.

The car is in immaculate shape, I have actually gone back to previous adds on here when the car was for sale and looked at pictures and it still looks like it came off the showroom floor.

Performance mods? The car was built by none other than Texas Speed out of north Texas. It has ETP Heads/MS3 Cam/Fast90/90 and all other supporting mod goodies and puts down 463hp/411tq to the wheels. The car also has some suspension and is lowered 1"

Most people would think the car was ragged on because it has sooo many mods and whatnot, but for being such a low mileage car it couldn't possibly be that bad.

As most of you know I had a thread on here about #7 going out, the motor will come out this weekend and everything will be fully replaced in the bottom end that way I know the motor will basically be brand spankin' new!

On to the fun part.... Pictures!! Keep in mind these are just pictures from previous owners and the posted adds but when I get the car running a full detail and photo-shoot is definitely in store!











These last two are actually from my phone.

The picture below is the day I picked it up ( not raining yet )


This picture is in the driveway along with the SS... Lol poor car

As far as I know the springs are Hotchkis, and it rides WAY better than my Black Trans Am did at stock height. This is like a Cadillac compared to my other car. It really surprised the hell out of me especially for being lowered.


Thanks for the compliments guys the sun needs to come out already!

Yeah SOM is probably one of the best colors on the Fbodys. I would take a Viper Blue Trans Am but they never made one

Yeah I have quite a few plans for this car that's on the list just haven't got around to doing it, been super busy with work.

----


On another sad note: We put a borescope in #7 today and it looks like everyone elses problems, outer ring decided to break off my walls look pretty horrible on the scope so if worst comes to worse ill probably be boring it out if a hone doesn't fix the problem.

No word on my ETP heads yet I really hope they aren't that bad they come off Friday.

Will keep you guys updated.
