Default finally got my F-body!!

i finally bought my trans am! im going to pick it up later this week and ill post more pictures. anyways it is a 1995 trans am. it has the lt1 and a 6 speed manual. it has only 73,000 original miles. the car is bone stock except for the rims, witch i haven't decided if i will keep on the car or not. its leather T-tops, power everything. fully loaded, and spotless! super clean car, he even had the original window sticker. heres some pictures for now, i haven't really decided what mods im going to do yet. so far i think is tint the windows, put the 97 ws6 hood on it, and headers with a nice exhaust. also if i take the wheels off i was thinking either black or chrome c6 rims. let me know what you guys think and what mods you guys would do! ill keep you all updated on what i do to it and when i pick it up! thanks!

Hard to believe that T/A is close to celebrating it's 20th birthday. Sure looks decent and well cared for from the photos. The mileage is good too.
Best of luck with it. May I ask what you picked it up for?? (You can send me a PM if you don't want to publicly say anything). I keep track of pricing as much as possible, especially older 'stock' versions.

Nice TA! It looks like it may also be lowered.

Clean car, nice find. Stock isn't a bad thing, mean no one has really messed with it and it's all original. Makes working on it a bit nicer.

looks nice, but lose the rims . Lower it with strano or bmr lowering springs , get an adjustable panhard bar , clear or black front and rear corner lights and the ws6 hood will look great . Maybe do a charcoal ceta mod on the rear bumper .

Nice clean lt1

Lumbar seats! Good find.

Just throwing in my 2c, but I would recommend against tinting the windows. The hatch is already hard enough to see out of at night even with 20/20 vision.

IMO find a ram air hood, WS6 wheels, clean up the exhaust outlets and enjoy it!

Thanks everyone! Got it Friday and haven't been out of it long enough to post! Absolutely love the car. Already put a couple mustangs in there place. It's a great car. I didn't think I would like the rims at all but in person there not to bad. What I'm looking for to start is the ws6 hood. Then probably headers and exhaust. The car is spotless we put it on our lift and I couldn't find a spec of rust anywhere. It's going in the garage till the snow and salt is gone but when she's back ill post again and post when I start mods! Once again thanks everyone! I'll post some more pictures tonight.

hey everyone sorry I haven't posted lately. still loving the car, the cops do too.. but its awesome im so glad to be in an fbody now. I figured out what im going to do now. I plan on putting black c6 corvette z06 rims on it, redo the speakers all around. a new cold air intake, headers, catback exhaust probably slp. electronic cutouts. and a cc503 cam, or a lt4 hot cam. also the ws6 hood then also I plan on getting new taillights since the ones on it have the seal broken and get water in them,, ill get the factory taillights again, possibly tint them darker. also I was looking at hid conversion kit for the head lights and possibly angel eyes to go around the fog lights. ill keep you all posted!

Don't bother with a CAI. Its a complete waste of money unless done properly which has the air filter dangerously low to the ground.

Get the WS6 hood and then get a Ram Air setup for that.
