darkside pt. II (pics added) After a lot of thought and consideration I've decided to crush my trans am and start over with a better donor... I'm picking up a mint 98 v6 silver auto tomorrow evening to put my motor in. Lot cheaper to do that instead of restoring my 95 as well as the 98 has a clean and clear title.

It's a pos, 3 bad paintjobs in its life and was totaled by being t boned in the passenger quarter panel/door. Was fixed and looked good when i bought it then one day the bondo fell off :/ its not worth its weight in scrap.

Unfortunately the 98 I picked up was far from mint like they guy said... But I got him down to 950. And cost me $160 in fuel 12$ in toll fees, $25 to rent a trailer, and a trip to the ghetto :/ pics when the sun comes up.
Sorry to hear that it wasnt what he said...the ghetto is a wonderful place ,,can tell you how many time i went and looked a Grand Nationals here in Chicago ...only to find a pimped out dubeed regal with a GrandNational emblem on the dash......fuckn xxxxxxx

It looks as if he done donuts through a barbwire fence lol but only dents are drivers headlight door and a few hail dents on the hood, car had ashes all over in it, smelled like weed, console looks as if he dumped a route 44 drink in it and closed the lid, hole in the block I'm guessing. it had a major rod knock and a huge oil trail down the street onto the trailer. His woman was wearing pink leopard skin tight leather pants. My wife was not impressed, but it only took me 5 minutes to get it chained down and the hell out of there!

For so.e reason I can't get on photobucket from my phone to post pics, I started again today at 4:15 and at 5:45 called it a night when the engine and tranny were laying on the ground.

Harness is going back to my buddy in Nebraska to change it from a 95 to a 98 along with the v6 harness today.
Does anyone know how to post pics from photobucket mobile?
While digging around in the car I found the original window sticker, and the factory build sheet. Thought that was a pretty neat find.
