!! Alright, its time to move on, sadly. What you're looking at is a 1996 Trans-Am, has right around 147k miles on it, I bought it at 136k miles, and the previous owner said that apparently there was a bad head gasket at ~100k, and when they pulled the heads there were still obvious cross marks in the cylinders, gotta love lt1 longevity lol. The car still makes great oil pressure, runs very, very strong, I've had it to the track twice, both times on 225 all season tires 
so the short times and ET's weren't great, but I got a 105.23MPH Trap speed, and a best ET of 13.8. 60' times were over 2.0, so if you got those down, you'd be kissing 13.1/2's all day, but I didn't want to launch too hard, rather just have fun then have to trailer the car home. Clutch grabs great, was replaced at the same time as the head gasket, OEM piece. The tranny is getting rebuilt next week, so if anyone is really interested, the car wont actually be up for sale for about 3 weeks, unless you want the car with old tranny, and I can just give you the parts..
Mods;
Lingenfelter CAI
BBK Headers ( emissions )
!AIR
ORY
Borla Stainless Steel Cat Back
Pro5.0 Shifter
LSS
t56 rebuilds tranny stuffings
Optimum Red Top
Maintenance;
Brand new Rotors and Pads on all 4 corners
New NGK tr55's all around
New valve cover gaskets
New Exhaust Hangers ( old ones were all dry rotted and squeaking )
New Wheel bearing on driver side
New Tie Rod Ends
2 week old alignment by the most reputable shop around this area.
EXT Appearance;
American Racing TTM's. 17's, 9.5/10.5 275/315's ( under 500 miles on them )
CETA style B-piller, Mirrors, Rear valance, PPG base coat clear coat black...
! Moldings
! Badging
INT Appearance;
Car originally came with a beat tan leather INT. I replaced the following out of a 02 Trans am with EBONY
Carpet
Headliner
Sun Visors
Door Panels
Kick Panels
Sail Panels
Trunk Flap
Then Installed Cloth seats out of a 94 trans am, with power lumbar, manual rack.
I painted the center console top black, and the radio surround black as well as the gauge surround and the ac vents, it ties the graphite and ebony together well and doesn't look tacky at all..
Hurst black six speed pattern ball
Hurst natural finished T-handle shifter
Sound 'System';
Alpine 9847 Head unit, 3 pre-outs, and AUX input, for any mp3 player.
Cheap Dual Amp, and 10 inch sub in home made stealth box, carpeted with GM carpet. Doesn't hit hard, but its noticeable, and adds depth to the lacking stock system.
That's about all I can think of right now. The car's very, very clean for its age. Under the hood is always spotless in the warm months, as is the outside. When I take the tranny out next week I'm going to be dropping the rear end, undercoating the car, painting the rear end housing with some black paint, and just basically cleaning everything up. The car will look like a 10k mile car when its all said and done with..
The bad;
The driver side door got caught by the wind, and it hyper extended the door, cracking the door skin. I do have a door off of the o2 that I got the INT out of, with a power mirror, and power window motor, complete with glass, already painted white, just needs installed. I'll get this done before sale, if not I will compensate you.
There was some slight scrubbing issues with the rear passenger side tire the first drive I took, before rolling the fender, so theres some scrapes on the sidewall, nothing major.
EDIT!!! NEW underbody pictures
ASKING PRICE: 7,500OBO
PRICE DROPPED!!! 6,500 OBO

When I bought the car, the third gear syncro was going out, popping out of gear every once and a while, it progressively got worse, and now its gone, want to have the car in perfect shape before selling, Id feel bad selling a car with a bum tranny, and just giving you the parts I think needs replaced, then you getting in there and finding more out, I dont want any surprises..
BTW, SES light is one b/c of !AIR and ORY
Im in Moline, on the mississippi due west of chi town.
Shoot me an offer.

Got new pictures of the underbody in the first post, check it out, price is flexable... car is running but not going into first gear, will sell as is if you grab it up for a deal before I yank the tranny, times running out let me know your offer..
Rear end is in great shape, all fresh, no noises, car drives GREAT, way better than before, just no 1st gear
