I am getting out of the fast cars business and concentrating on college and my girlfriend. I have spent almost everything I have made in the past 2 years on this car. This car has never been wrecked and I just put a little over $4,500 in it over the past month. I was in the process of modding it to make a lot of horsepower, but I have had a lot of issues so 500 fly wheel HP isn't bad I am pricing the car as suggested with the book value being close to $10,000 and the mod value used, plus not charging all of the labor I paid, just 25% because I just had it done, here is the figure I came up with. I owe just under $2,000 under this figure so I need every penny, plus I have put close to $30,000 in it already. First here is what it is:

This engine only has less than 5,000 miles on it and the heads, pistons, and rods have less than 100 miles.

1998 Pontiac Trans-Am WS6
-black, automatic, 99,000 miles on body alone
-black WS6 17" wheels with a not so great powdercoat job

MODS

--ENGINE
---6.0 LQ9 370 c.i. iron block
-----All machine work by CNC machine
---PORTED & Polished 241 heads
----flow 285 cfm @.600 lift
----Rev valves & Comp cams 918 springs
----Comp Cams pushrods
----Harlan Sharp 1.7 rockers
---204/218 04 Z06 cam
---Eagle LS1 Rods
---JE forged pistons
---Crane Hyd Roller Lifters
---SCAT 6.0 crank
---Z06 ported oil pump
---Z06 ported intake manifold
---Z06 Fuel Rails and injectors
---Z06 MAF-descreened
---6.0 Truck coil packs-for more spark
---Shaner S3 ported throttle body
---MAC 3" Off road Y Pipe- Ceramic Coatted
---Z06 timing chain
---Federal Mogul bearings-all
TOTAL ENGINE USED PRICE=======> $6,900

---Tranny is a 4L60-E rebuilt less than 200 miles ago= $850

---All suspension was replaced with OEM WS6 suspension at 70,000 miles = $200

---It has a 4" VFN Fiberglass WS6 hood= $550

---Powdercoatted wheels=$125, but they need redone so $$00

---BMR Adjustable Torque Arm= $225

---SONY CD Player and 3x5 Cadence mids=$$25

---Nitto 555R Drag Radials with 80% tread left=$300

So with all of these at used prices the total comes to $$9,050 for mods plus the $10,000 book value, but I know I couldn't get that for this car fast as I need it so the final price will be........


$17,500 OBO

Pics upon request, questions can be email to me, please dont ask questions on here, pm me for the answers.

I have not ran it at the track since I got the heads, pistons, and rods in, but you can expect at least high 11's, and that is being very conservative I did however drive from Houston to my hometown of Ashdown, AR with 1 tank of gas and it was a little over 325 miles.

im sorry to flame but 17500 for a 98 with 99k miles is pushing it! but sounds nice.

The engine has less than 5,000 miles
The tranny has less than 200 miles
The heads have less than 500 miles
The suspension was replaced 29,000 miles ago

The body is the only thing with 99,000 miles on it I doesnt feel like a 98 T/A with 99,000 miles on it, I can assure that.

Here is a TTT for a good guy. Why has he been banned again? He did pay everyone back you guys know. I know this kid and he is really a stand up guy. He just got in over his head, he made a mistake like everyone does. Now yes he was wrong for not paying the guys back faster, but I think he learned his lesson and now he is trying to get out of this business so why not let him sell his stuff here? It is not like he can scam anyone, that Nick guy had the FBI all over him for nothing. He never got in any trouble from the police neither because he never had any intentions of scamming. TTT for a good kid who is trying to better his life now.

Auctane by the way your car books for under $10000 and the mods could be had for less than that, but not much more. I was looking into buying your car, but I think I will stick to my Z06 I would say it is worth every penny of $17,000 though.

It really amazes me that US car prices are mileage, mileage, mileage based where German cars is condition, condition condition.

I bot a new 2000 and put 16k on it. It had zero stone chipes (well, it had one sort of), I scraped the air dam about once every 1000 miles, shifted it with my finger tips, and it looked like a new car. I could have put 100k and the only wear you would have seen would have been the drivers seat and the pedals. Everything else would be like new and original. But try and get someone to acknowledge that condition? Forget it.

Hey Richiec77,

Be specific when you say Do not buy this vehicle because I am trying to sell mine. Your comment looks like its aimed at me.

I don't think that was your intention.
