Default MY 1999 30th Anniv. WS6

I bought this one yesterday it is my 3rd T/A and probably the most comfortable one lol.
It is all stock with the most miles i've seen on a 30th anniv. ever (161k) someone must of had fun driving it lol.
so far the only issues ive noticed are cosmetic.
They took the graphics off all the car and the hood left some pretty bad spots where the stripes were and the previous owner had the blue tint take off the wheels and then polished.

Here are a couple pics




will take better ones when she's all cleaned up but so far my plans are to get the hood painted or add some stripe over..and maybe basic free mods

E-bay is the only place I see a whole set. It's not original though.

I would kill him for taking the tint off those wheels. Those are probably my favorite wheels of all time.

I bought a set of the eBay seat covers for my 25th anniv and am happy with the quality. I went with vinyl so it would last a little longer. Only issue was getting the side panels sewn on. They look fine but you can see about 1/4" of stiching that wasn't there originally. But like others said this is really the only option.

My 25th was in similar condition when I got it. Have to wonder how that happens to special edition cars..,

i can see it.

its your everyday car, you park it in not so nice neighborhoods, instead of getting her stolen you rip the graphics off.


that car would last two minutes a crappy city with daytona stickers on it lol

that cars an attention *****!

That car was raped. Brings a tear to my eye. Are you planning on getting it to its former glory? Say yes.

discOmonkey...you said it right...attention ******...that what a beautiful f-body is, and i have that same problem with my Z & WS6...you park it away from everyone else and come back out and find some a-hole parked right next to it...

OP...down the road maybe you can put the stickers and wheels back on, but for now you own a 30th and a damn good looking car and like DAN said , why the **** buy it and do that to it ?????....though i have seen worse...it finally has a good home...

I know I'm not really comparing apples to apples here but, I have made 30th anniversary wheels for a model of a TA that I built. I just shot some transluscent blue over the chrome until they were the shade I wanted. You might be able to get some automotive grade paint and try the same thing.

If it didn't work you could always take it off. I imagine it would be a lot cheaper than 800 per wheel.

And I agree with all the rest, I would kill for a real 30th anniversary car. No clue why anyone would disgrace it that way.

Still deciding on whether to order the graphics or not...
But then I would have to powder coat the center of these wheels blue

Screw em the car looks good as is, although I'd go with a bigger eyebrow on the tint and smoke/clear the corners then your set on appearance.

Same here, black SS with chrome ZR1s & it draws mega attention so a 30th with all the blue accents on white=100x more. I dont usually park mine out away from everything so it isnt as noticeable to others. I should so I dont get door dings & scratches.

OP...down the road maybe you can put the stickers and wheels back on, but for now you own a 30th and a damn good looking car and like DAN said , why the **** buy it and do that to it ?????....though i have seen worse...it finally has a good home...
The 30th TA is my favorite looking Fbody & its a shame to see all the things that make it that on the outside removed. The wheels alone are
but for now you got a sharp looking WS6. If it wasnt for the wheels I would get all the 30th stuff put back on that car. I dont even know where you can buy a set of those wheels. I hope you got a good deal on it for all the stuff thats missing.
