Picked up a Trans AM

I picked this up the other day for a helluva a deal. It's a 99 auto with leather interior, power everything and 218,000 miles! It is in great shape. It runs, but motor needs to be rebuilt. Needs a new windshield and drivers side window motor. I bought a WS6 hood and need to take off the pin stripe. It has a new Tranny and Rear End. I am going to have the transmission built to handle more power. Not sure what route I'm going to do on the rear end. I am still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the motor. Either going to go big cube with Nitrous or do a forged bottom end and boost it...still working with G-Force to see which way I'm going to go. I like the idea of a 416 LS3(Mikes favorite). Going to do some suspension and chasis upgrades for the street and change the wheels. Look forward to having fun with it!

Thanks! I paid $1,500.00 for it all together

It needed a new motor and the owner didn't want to pay to do it all.

$1500? Bad *** deal man. Even though the motor needs to replaced. Thats a clean MF car. Good find.

Lol! Yeah, I should have never sold the Vette

I would have been enjoying life right now. I think I've driven my other car maybe 2 miles in 6 months...

I like the LS3 idea. I just need to decide what compression to go with

I haven't owned a non blower car in a while.
