It's not exactly everything I wanted, and it isn't exactly in my hands yet, but we and the guy im buying from are going to meet up this week to make the trade, the check for the trans am :)

Here are the specs

1998 Trans am 6 speed
Red
Black Leather T-Tops
75,000 Miles
Price: $9,000

He said he's done the basic maitenance and hasn't changed plugs/wires cause he said they told him he didn't need to till 100k? Did all trans ams come with the monsoon system? My gramps has his own auto shop so fixing things will be pretty cheap, has anybody bought a WS6 hood from CERTI-FIT They have one and through my gramps shop I can buy it for $250 list is like $650. Supposed to be functional. What other things might I need to do maitenance on? He said he did all the regular filter/fluids. Ok, here are the pics!!

Well it's not letting me post pictures yet but as soon as I make 5 posts Ill make sure to post them in this thread!

and here is my old car that will now be stripped and sold to get more stuff for the trans am :)
2.4 Turbo 16 psi
Thanks everyone!

Looks nice man, Congrats. But when ya get it polish up them wheels lol. The outside could clean up with some water and car wash. But take the wheels off and take some bleche white to them. Its the best thing i can find that wont harm the clearcoat over your wheels..

Good luck with it.

white bleech???:Ohno: like the stuff we use on clothes? that's interesting~ I was thinking of getting some chrome z06 replica 18's or other chrome 18's looking into maybe spending 1200 wheels/tires 18's or 19's not sure yet, but do want to drop it unless the 19's fill the gap good... im going to start researching :beer:

Very nice upgrade man! It'll be a real headturner with Z06 wheels for sure.

Congrats on the upgrade, looks great. Definately go with the ZO6 dude. I would keep the 17s and drop her down.:yup:
