Default Got a new LSX(Suprise find)

Well since I was LS1less for now going on a month now, I was starting to go on withdrawl.(Sold my 04 Z06)

I didn't want to spend too much this time, so I set my "ideal" budget at 15k(Also helps with taxes, anything under 15k private party goes by year.)














1999 Artic White Trans Am Firehawk M6

Details:
39K miles(Bought from Second Owner)
No paintwork
Factory Options
Tan Leather Interior, t-tops, monsoon 10 speaker, 12 disc changer, traction control, Hurst 6-speed, some of this was standard on T/A's.

SLP Options
Chrome Wheels
SLP Firehawk Floormats(Still brand new, never used)
Auburn Rearend(1 of 5 Artic Whites to have this option)

Car was bone stock up to afew months ago. He changed the H-style hurst shifter **** for the white q-ball shifter ****, and he put a weld in 3" flowmaster muffler in, and changed the SLP dual/dual tips, to chrome 3in singles.
This is a shame because the stock dual/dual is one of the best catbacks for these cars.

Doesn't need too much.
Needs a recharge on the A/C
Enginebay could use a dusting
Lil' stuff in the interior needs to be done.

Just thought I would share.

Plus he is getting me all the stock items. Brakes were just done, and it has pretty new tires on it. Though I have to get a reprint of the SLP birth certificate.

Thanks for the congrats, Does CETA, mean register it? or?

Edit: looks like he threw out the stock tips and muffler lol.

That is a more rare bird right there! Great find! I think by CETA he means painting the rear bumper black or some other color.

Thanks for the gratz guys. I thought it was a pretty good deal as well. I was actually looking for a LS2 GTO M6. And when I saw this I couldn't pass it up.

I want to get the car back to stock, fix the exhaust and shifter ****, and want to fix the lil' interior things.

All I plan on doing to it, lid(hopefully blackwing), (dual,dual catback), smooth bellows(like the look), bo white pnp tb, LS6 IM(haven't decided if I want to get rid of the EGR yet),and lou's short stick. Then a tune.

325whp is the target.
