Came with hooded ceramic coated long tube headers not installed. Has new spec clutch and drilled and slotted rotors newish tires. Payed 4700 for it has 115k miles and the interior is in far better shape.

Nice looking ride for the money, much better than the SS you were looking at.
All WS6s up thru '99 came w/ only the 17" RPO N66 wheels (except the '97 'verts which got 16" chrome P05 wheels, and the 30ths which got the blue QA9 wheels). Did the N66 wheels change from painted to polished between '97 and '98? Or did Pontiac offer both painted and polished wheels w/ the same RPO in '97 (was '97 a transition year where both were installed)?
I'm just thinking his wheels are really dull and need a good detail. But if you know something I don't, I'm all ears.

forgot to say, with that cat-back and hooker headers that thing will sound awesome, since it's a LT1 they have a better sound to them then a LS1...i have both and with same exhaust the LT1 just sounds better, maybe it's because of a different firing order...

The OP's car looks like it has 96 wheels.
