Default 1995 Turbo Trans Am Fully Built Ground Up Street Car Project

I'm CONSIDERING, selling my car. It's been a ground up project for over 2 years now, it was stripped to nothing, a bare shell, and built back up with the sole intention of being a badass daily driver street car. Power, handling, comfort, you name it. I could ramble on for hours about what's done to the car. I'll try to describe the car a little in my own words, include a summary of what parts are in the car, and some pictures. I'm sure I'll miss a lot, but it's a start. I want to get some opinions on what it is currently worth. Im going to be moving soon and wont have time or space to finish this thing anytime soon. I also have a ground up 73 datsun 240z restoration for a customer that is taking all my time to finish up. It is not your everyday Trans Am for sale so if you guys don't think it's worth anything as is I'll hang on to it and finish it in a few years. [/end rambling]





The turbo kit was made by me, it's all 304 stainless to the firewall then mild steel. Only V bands used, everything it perfect, no rattling pipes, no leaks, all quality. All mating exhaust surfaces were milled flat after all welding and fabrication was completed. All hotside parts are generously braced and a flexpipe is after the downpipe so nothing cracks! All the coldside plumbing is mandrel bent tig welded alluminum. All couplers are several ply silicone couplers with high quality band clamps. All the engine management sensors are brand new. 90mm throttle body is from a nissan, the stock intake manifold was time consumingly modified to accept it. (lots of cutting and tig welding!)


All machining was done by or for me at Transfer Performance Machine Shop. All bearing clearances checked, new valve guides, good valve job, resurfaced heads, rings file fitted, 4 bolt splayed main caps fitted correctly, etc etc.

Almost every hose is a braided stainless with AN fittings (fuel, coolant, prety much everything BUT the vacuum and heater hose lines). Much detail went into the hose routing, oil catch can setup, etc. Fuel lines, brake lines, all that is brand new. Brake calipers are not new, but the paint on them, pads, hardware, etc is. New rear rotors, resurfaced low mileage stock front rotors. Braided stainless brake lines.

The paint is flawless, body work flawless, doors are gutted with emphasis on making them open and close like a dream. All hardware holding body parts on and such is NEW. Rear bumper and tail lights are custom fitted around a custom hitch that adds some weight to the back of the car and some chassis integrity.

Car has a good sounding stereo. Double din touch screen headunit, (4) 6.5" polk audio speakers powered by a ???watt sony amp. 2 hidden 12" JL Audio subs powered by a second ???watt sony amp. Grant steering wheel with pontiac logo, 3 pillar gauge pod, headliner, dash, etc all in good shape. New GM dashpad, leather front seats, rears deleted. Six point wolfe roll bar with low slung door bars. 5 point harnesses'. Heat and cruise control sorry no AC!

Car has T Tops.

I have almost all the receipts for the car and can probably get a copy of any I do not. It would take me some time to go through everything and see whats missing and add up how much is into the car. I honestly don't know, it would probably scare me though. I also have schematics and documentation and such for the car to.

v 2 pictures of some of the receipts and documentation I have with the car.
