95 Trans Am LS2 Conversion... First lat me say, if you are here to look at the car, inquire about buying it, or ask questions, be my guest. I hesitated listing the car on Tech because for every person interested, there are 7 people who want to tell you your car isn't worth crap, and you're an idiot for asking that much. With that said, I know this car isn't worth a ton of money, and I also know that the buyer market for this car is VERY small. There is a very specific buyer group that would be interested in the car. So please of you are here to flame the thread or contradict what I'm asking for the car, I ask you hold your tongue so people who may be interested can get answers and don't get lost in the shuffle.
1995 Trans Am (GT trim), Hardtop, 6speed car.
-81,xxx on the body itself, less than 1000 on the motor/tranny setup.
I will post the list of mods at the end of the thread, but wanted to just tell a little bit about the car. I've owned the car for 6 years. It started as a stock LT1 car that I did a little to here and there. When I maxed out the power of the LT1, I decided to change it up a little. When I started this, there was no one doing the conversion. Now that I have it finished, it seems there are plenty of people doing the swap. I hope that this one stands out just a little more than just putting a motor in a car and beating on it.
The short block of this car was assembled by Steve Schmidt Racing Engines out of Indianapolis. Their work in the racing engine scene is second to none. The motor has a new GM crank, it's been line honed, studded, and gone through the works. I have paper work to go along with it. The transmission is an RPM stage 5 6speed that has was freshened up 2 years ago and sat until 1000 miles ago.
I love this car, but some things have come up and I've decided to sell in order to start over. I've got a ton of money in this car, and I know I will never get out of it what I have in it. I also know that this isn't just an every day LS conversion. I have taken time and tried to do the cleanest install I can. The colored parts on the motor is powder coat, and are very well done.
It does have a ram-air hood on the car. It is Arctic white and the car itself is Bright White. There is a shade difference, and is an easy paint fix. I was going to have it done in the spring, but decided to sell. I can provide a body shop that will do quality work at a great price if need be. The car has been lowered and needs a front end alignment. That can be done by myself and I also have 2 new tires to go on the front of the car. Bought the wheels with crappy tires and wasn't going to put the good ones on before it was aligned. I can have it aligned and new tires put on, or just send the tires with the buyer.
I have additional pictures if anyone wants them. I also have a crappy video of it running for the first time. I can get another video if need be. The car comes just as it looks. Switch panel, gauge cluster, wheels, hood, and NX kit stay with the car! I also have a set of UMI boxed sub-frames that go with it.
Short list of mods is in the sig or just click here.
I'm asking $9500 obo. I'm going to stay pretty firm on that price. We can sway a little, but I need that much out of it to pay off some debt and start clear.
Feel free to ask for refernces. Many people on this board have seen the car in person and can attest to it's cleanliness and the way it runs.

Could I get some more pictures to whicks16@gmail.com when you get a chance? Also do you have a build thread on for the LT1 to LS1 swap? Thanks.

To those of you who are interested or even contemplating; Let me say 1st, that the car is as clean as they come and is by far a hack job Trans Am. The entire car was built with a specific route in mind and was meticulously put together. No quick throw it together and go engine swap here guys.
For those interested, I urge you to take the chance and at least look into this car. You will not be dissapointed.
I have seen it in person (in the process of the build and finished) and will verify it is a VERY Nicely built car.
Wish I had the spare cash myself, I would not hesitate to pick it up if I did.
Good Luck Burt!
