[robbie]

[Hi-Po]

Gto.

I say the SS ... bigger market of buyers .... Dont think either will come close to a 1st gen as being collectible though...

1999 30th Trans Am.


Personally, the SS has a much better color. I love the CETA, but that collector edition red SS is just a sexy car.

[snaggeltooth]

YOu know whats collectible ??something with chrome ...

[Bobby97SS]

Get the one you can find, its not like they are sitting around the lots, at least not here.

[issues]

get the ce since no one knows the future of the trans am

[nhraformula]

whos to say anyone will even want these cars in 30 years.
if you want to invest, get stocks

[eddierox]

I've seen several ... I think they're called Parakeet Yellow TA Verts and/or other 'Birds get big time dollars or they're still getting their sticker ... and/or depending on the type of Pontiac *Bird* that you would want to check out.

Mileage is a big factor.

The Anniversary SS in red/silver stripes typically gets much lower.

But once again mileage is a factor.

I cannot make this distinction as to why 'Birds get so much and may be a better collectors than the SS other than their *nominal* production numbers.

I sold my SS hardtop 2 years ago here on the board for 15 grand with 30,000 miles on it, but as it turned out it was a factory LS6 design and the new owner has been offered 25 grand for it and says he will never sell it.

Factory SLP cars would be a good investment in my opinion.

In my opinion the 4th gens won't see *big dollar* collector value until they are at least 10 years old to 20 years old.

any 98/99/00 formula ws6, these cars have very low prodution numbers. they made less of these than the ss/firehawk. try to find one.

[snaggeltooth]

97 SS and Firehawk low production and they havent took off.. Buy a 4th gen if you want one ....But dont expect it to increase in value much ..

[Bobby97SS]

What do you guys think my 97 SS M6 leather, 12 disc, car cover, etc, 120K, ex. cond. is worth?

[snaggeltooth]

if it has 120k miles its not in excellent condition it in rough ....

[robbie]

i'm not so much going to buy one to make money on down the road just want to be a little different going down the road. like, you see mustangs all over the place,what about this gto? i heard the ride is way more comfortable and interior noise is far less. i'm still trying to get used to the exterior of the gto. anyway, i'm just getting opinions before i test drive. thanks.

[SexOnWheels]

Buy a Ceta!

Was it really a factory ls6? I thought you and the guys here had a big debate

If you are getting one to drive ..it is GTO all the way ... They ride much better and MUCH quieter ..

Well I sold it here on the forum 2 years ago and and made a mention of it here on AAG 2 years ago after I sold it and after I was informed of what it was by the new owner.

The debate 2 years ago showed it was a true LS6 motor from the factory.
So I thought that was the end of that. Car sold, deal done. Over.

This other member called me out on it 2 years ago and a bet ensued which he denies he made but keeps bringing it up over these last 2 years like I'm full of sh*t for some reason and it's because he welched on the bet and is still trying to get out of it like I even give a sh*t anymore because as it turns out he instigates to try and get me banned which is what happened last time when I told him to shut up and paypal me.

Some 01 and most 02 V8 F-Bodies had LS6 blocks in them. Nothing special.
