Yes, those were an option on Trans Ams for 2000.

Those are the base model "twisties." they replaced the standard 5 spoke 16 inch design. Base Firebird, Formula, and Trans Am all got the same rims during a certain period of time unless you had the WS6 or Firehawk option.

The car is overpriced. Dealer trade-in on a convertable 2002 is about 16k... much less a base 2000.

Look in the vehicle classified section of this site and find a very sweet car for the same cash or much less.

That is an aftermarket radio and not the Monsoon.

And you are right, they are asking a bit much. Heck you could have my 2001 TA WS6 for a grand more.
