pm me if you want some info. only thing that is bad is the salvage title.
and over 100k with not much info on the car.

it's only a ta. a ws6 would be worth it for the hood alone..

Does not look all the bad, the only thing that i see with the body is the driver door to the fender and has over 100miles that i am sure no old lady was driving back and forth to the store there are a lot of place to get all the parts from Trans AM Creation in miami Fla 305 769 0985 http://www.tacreationsusa.com/ good luck

Looks like he got GOT by the "LS1_Bandit..." unless he is the bandit for 3 and a half...

[jd1666]

damn i decided not to get it becuase of the condition ac didnt work or heater needed new nose, paint, battery, door panel and a bunch of other stuff and was to high and had a salvaged title... i went to custom sounds and spent 1 grand on a badass system for a sale they had at custom sounds in burnett if anyone know's where its at. its a badass system though well worth over the torn apart 99 when i just got this for my 97 firebird

[TA421]

The airbags will deploy on crashes exceeding 35 MPH, I would not purchase a salvaged vehicle, you are opening up a big can of worms.
