Well sad news fellas while waiting for my taxes the lady sold it to someone who offered her her asking price. But all is not lost I found a 1997 Trans am ws6 m6 that is in far better shape.

Looks like it needs some TLC too, but nearly as much as the camaro. Does this car have any rare options?

Is that the same gas station that the SS was parked at btw? lol

On a side note, if you buy the car, you should sell me the hood and or wheels

Haha on hood and wheels. Idk if there's any rare options I know it doesn't have the 12disk changer, or post seat other than lumbar adjustment. And no traction control. So i don't know if thay makes it rare?? Ya it needs just some paint and clear and one small tear in driver seat but this car is in far better condition than the ss. On a side note its not I was in hillsboro Texas when I stopped. The ss is in Austin Texas.

1961ba427...i love that commercial on the '96-'97 WS6's...black bird..clean lines on the LT1 WS6's...also, really love the ram-air system more on both the LT1 cars then on the LS1's...that '97 SS that you have has a really awesome set-up for cold-air, not so on the LS1 cars...same with the WS6, the LT1's ram air looks better to me then the ram-air on the LS1 cars...hell my '99 SS seemed shut-off for air flow compared to the LT1 set-up..also, the LT1 sounds better with the same exhaust vs. the LS1...not saying quicker, but sounding better...both my cars have the same exhaust and it's my LT1 that sounds better then my LS1...just my 2 cents...
