Talking Just Picked Up Another Trans Am...

So I picked up another Trans Am today. This one is an '01 WS6. 149,000 miles, t-tops, 6 speed, black on black, Borlamouth exhaust, headers, etc. Snapped a few shots with my POS cell phone camera. As you can see, VERY dusty from sitting in a garage for the past 3 years. Seems like it's got a blown head gasket, spun bearing, etc. No big deal. The motor will be going to Blitz Performance in Kennett Square to get some work done. Should be drivable very soon!! Can't wait.

Shots:












And for reference, here is my other one:

Thank you fella's! I got a great deal on it since it was a friend of mine selling it.

Plans right now are still unsure. Debating cleaning it all up and making it into somewhat of a show piece, or racing it. Time will tell!

Haha it would be a fun race car, that's for sure. But then I have to decide for auto-x or 1/4 mile, and I really love me some auto-x (I'm a former E36 M3 owner). I may also just use my 98 as my M-F daily driver in spring/summer/fall, then use the 01 as my weekend daily driver in spring/summer/fall.

lol, her VW is manual (she hates auto) so it could be, but she tells me she's just excited to work on it with me.

Thanks all. I need some free time to work on the new one. It's "cleaner" now that I have had it sitting outside for a couple weeks. The rain definitely did a nice job cleaning off all that dust!
