I'm selling my 1990 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It has LSx/4L60E Power and is equipped with alot of go fast goodies. I'm getting rather bored with the swap and am looking to get into something a little newer as this car has all the squeaks and rattles of a 20 year old car. It has been modified pretty extensively. I'm not really looking into parting it out. This car has been 12.0's at 114mph in the 1/4 mile on 1.7 60's. That was done before the 4L60E swap. This car should hit 11's with a good launch.

The Bad
Front bumper recently got a few scrapes while loading onto a trailer. Also has a couple dings on the driver side sail panel and one on the right front fender. I'm no bodyman but I think these could be pulled out by a paintless dent repairman.
Needs a new B&M 3' Heavy Duty Shifter cable. I kinked this one installing it after the 4L60E. It shifts fine, just kind of stiff going from park to reverse.
The driver seat has 2 tears in it. I never messed with it in hopes of swapping to newer seats. Never got around to it as you can see.
Has some slight cam surge still, has stalled a couple times, probably just needs more tuning done to the pcm. It always fires right back up so I havent messed with it.
Needs an alignment, has a noticible pull, didn't notice any damage to any suspension components when rebuilding control arms and replacing shocks and springs over the winter.
No Air Conditioning. My biggest complaint, oh well thats what T-Tops are for!
Speedo not wired up at the moment. I'm going to fix this.

I'm asking $7500 or trade for a stock(ish) 4th gen LS1 Firebird or Camaro. I'm open to other trades as well, I'm looking for another toy. I'm pretty firm at this time on the price.







I can get plenty of pictures upon request!

Thanks,

Im trading this car for a 1998 Formula. I'm keeping my Cylinder heads, fast92, and injectors. Also swapping transmissions. He's doing a Front mount turbo and a TH400 to this car. I'm amped!
