Today I bought an arctic white TA hardtop M6! bone stock with only 57K on the clock. All she has is a stereo system and a Pro 5.0 (but that will soon change ). Picked her up for $8500. Hopefully someday she can compete with the LS1 guys!!!

Congrats, what year is it? Sounds like it would be a 93-94 since it doesn't have tops.

well, i seem to be having some trouble uploading the pics, says its an invalid entry but whatever. would it blow your minds if i said it was also a cloth interior? cuz it is (and quite comfy too ). i really dont think it could be a formula with TA parts, its got the wing, the foglights, the doors says trans am on them, and the guy i bought it from said it was the original paint...

It does blow my mind that its a hardtop and cloth seats...look up the RPO codes and see if its a formula or an actual t/a.
