Heya - new WS6 member Hey Guys.
I have been reading and viewing threads for the past two months in preparation for my Trans Am purchase.
I am not exactly a "n00b" to cars or Trans Ams. We have a fully restored 79 Trans Am Smokey and the Bandit replica, so that is where my love of TA's started.
Just this week I purchased a TA.
Here is a pic.
2001 Trans Am WS6
I got a pretty killer deal on it.
36k miles, completely stock, the engine was unmolested. The only prob was I think the owner power shifted and/or wasn't that great at the six speed because the 3rd and 4th gear synchro's are out of whack.
Quick and cheap fix though, so all around it was a good buy for me. Just waiting for the warranty to activate so I don't have to buy the synchro's, hehe.
Took me a long time to find the bird that had all of the options I wanted, and that was taken care of.
I spose I should thank you all now, because many of you will probably answer alot of my questions from here on out.
Glad to be here.

$19,500 out the door.
2 year bumper to bumper warranty on the car, which brought the price up a little (which is included in the price above).
This same car had a sticker price of just over 22,000 at the beggining of the spring.
I waited until summer was over so I could bring them down quite a bit.

Welcome you came to the right board for questions on the ls1s. I am verry happy to see another ws6 owner coming aboard and post some pics of your 79 t/a but if my memory serves my correctly and my movies on my dvd player smokey and the bandit never had a 79 cause didn't 79 come with the new nose with the enclosed headlights and shaker. In Smoke #1 it was a 77 or 78 with the batman nose and #2 was an 80-81 cause it didn't have snowflakes or a shaker and #3 was the 82 t/a. Dammitt now I gotta go see those movies again with my g/f hehe Welcome aboard. Btw I type to much just read my other posts.

What exactly is NBM Ant?
I will post pics of the 79. My dad is a diecast model car collector, and his smokey and the bandit car looks identical to our 79. Honeycomb wheels that are gold, gold bird on the hood, lightly gold trimmed, golden brown Trans Am on the back, etc.
Though the diecast version is a 78.
Well anyways, I know it isn't exact, it was just based off of that "look".
