tangelo 1999 trana am lsx 454
A short story of how the car came to be.I am disabled from a motorcycle crash in 2005 xmas eve. I purchased the car from a dealer who gave me a good deal. I wanted something to do with my son as working,building,racing cars and bikes of all kinds is all i have ever done, together with my son up to he was 16( when i had my crash). After I purchased the car it sat for a year only being driven 4 times once by myself, after the hand controls were installed.It was mint inside and out untill I was ill and amitted to the hospital.My girlfriend choose to drive it . when she came home her foot got stuck in the peddles,while coming through the gate.need not say much more about that,lol.
Well the plans for just a quick 12k and drop in a 427 went away.It made no sense at the time just to repaint it the same color when 75% of it had to be painted. sort of wished that is what i had done .
It has spent over a year in the bodyshop being completely taken done the the bare chassis.
Anyway here is all the info as i may end up selling it now. i have about 50 pics from the build but most of them are in a phone not being used i will have to get it turned on to up load them later. GO to my page to see and read all the specs it has a lsx454 still sealed up 4l80 ,every bmr part made for it,and another 10k in new parts still in the boxes.
