Default What is it worth: 2001 Trans Am

Car is a 2001 Trans Am base model (not WS6), 48k miles, M6, taupe interior, and red exterior. One owner (me), garaged since new, 6-point welded in roll bar, Porsche 996tt front brakes, forged piston heads/cam 347 (original block/crank), fresh T56 (TDP), just broken in TDP stage II clutch (1000 miles, one launch, one burnout), freshly rebuilt stock 10-bolt with Torsen T2R differential (low mileage on diff). ACPT carbon fiber driveshaft, headers, full bolts-ons, full suspension (mostly LGM plus Koni shocks & Strano springs/sways). Painted Firehawk wheels. 200mph Granatelli speedometer. Lots of little stuff I haven't listed. Line lock is plumbed but has never been wired or used.

The interior is nice, no cracks in the console or dash. 1/4" crack on passenger door panel. <1" on drivers door panel. Seats are very nice, and I still have the back seat (doubtful anyone has ever sat back there).

Nice little rocket. Would think $12K-$14K and the buyer would be getting their money's worth. For someone looking for a very streetable and modded M6, this would fit the bill.

Does that roll cage have to be stepped over to get into the car or does is unfasten?

Well you certainly have my favorite color combination . The mileage is right and the only thing I feel you need is patience. It's a limited market for a T/A like yours. I would certainly agree with Firebrian's price range as a starting point. Always cool to see one owner cars too. We are a select few.
May I ask where you live? That Peruvian Grilled Chicken sounds intriguing.

Popular area for F bodies too. Forget the chicken, I like those prices for brake, ps, and trans flushes ($49-$59). The cheapest guys up here in the Northeast usually want $79-$119 for flushes of any kind.
