Advertised as a trans am and it even says trans am on the rear decal... But has the formula or firebird front bumber. It even has the TA ground effects so i'm a little confused... what do you think?

[nhra-trans-am]

I saw that one too. Maybe the front got damaged and instead of putting a t/a bumper, they put on a formula/firebird bumper

I can agree with that, but then their text shows, ...
"The exterior of this ACCIDENT-FREE Trans Am is in wonderful condition, with no scratches, or dents"

So either it was wrecked & repaired, ..., or someone jsut thought they'd like a change & go for the Formula front instead.

[nhra-trans-am]

yeah, but then again, they are a dealer. When I got mine from the dealer the ad said something similar, but later i saw that the rear bumper had been repainted for some reason

did you notice that the driver side center cap is white and the rest are black. not to mention that the car only comes with 235's

And the tail pipe are not centred, one is longer than the other???

According to the RPO codes in the picture it is supposed to have a CD player and no tape player. All of the missing lug nut covers are driving me nuts. I hope the bidders are looking really close at it!

Stupid question...did the 98's have a solid rear spoiler or is it raised off the back deck like my '01?? This is an anomoly, why would someone change out the front end to a Firebird front end, the T/A front looks so much better.... Any one from near this place could take a run down and find out if aliens abducted a T/A and did some experiments with it??

[nhra-trans-am]

from 98-02 the verts had a low spoiler, coupes had raised ones

You know what they say about opinions.

I've never seen a riced out car with a spoiler that good looking.

Tell me...what is a non-riced out spoiler then if the T/A's is rice?

I love that damn spoiler and it is the ONLY reason I'm not driving a 'vert period.

[00BlkVert6Spd]

I have no idea how to do that and I dont own a coupe TA.

I disagree, it gives it the muscle car look. I'm getting Ram Air Hood on tues and then thinking about stripes so people wont even relize the spoiler. It will be bad ass!!

Education time...class is in session...may I have your attention please...
