I have a 2000 Trans Am Firehawk that has 167000 on the shortblock. I have rebuilt the valvetrain about 135000. The car has been my daily driver since I bought it in 2003. It is build number 478 verified with SLP and it still runs very strong. The car dynoed at 400 motor and 530 on a 150 shot. The last leak down test showed zero leak down and good compression on all cylinders. Everything is still functional A/C heater, electronice etc..

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I have most of the receipts and this car is still my daily driver. I really don't want to sell it but I have a 2 year old and possibly another on the way so I need a truck. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles religously with nothing but castrol syntec. It does need a new oil pan gasket and it has a belt squeal in cold weather on a cold start. I have owned the car since 15000 miles and I'm the second owner. I'm trying to get an idea of what you guys think its worth part out or outright sale. Thanks in advance

 

Honestly you'd probably get more to part it. People don't want cars with tons of mods as they "assume" they've been beat on. However tons will want a nice powerful motor that makes 400 to the wheels taken care of. If you can find a buyer for the car for a good price then take it! Just my .02

 

Thank you for responding to my post. It would be a Damn shame to tear this car apart but I fear you are right. Nobody is going to pay what I think is fair for a strong running bad *** Trans Am that I have bled into several times. I think I will keep the car before I tear it apart. The receipts alone add up to more than what someone wants to pay for it.

 

I also think its funny that people turn their nose up at 167000k on the shortblock yet it has good compression and zero leak down and a almost new upgraded valvetrain.

 

i would try selling it complete if i were you first....and after a few months then maybe thing about parting it out

 

It would be a shame as it is a beautiful car. Like he said though id try to sell it complete first and if nothing... then well keep her

 

Thanks for the replies I appreciate yalls opinions. The blue book shows 5,000 or so and with all the mods I would want to get 10k no less. I did have a buyer 6 months ago but I was on the fence about the sale.
