    i found a 1995 trans am lt1/t56 t-top car. is burgondy and has 17in by 9in boyd wheels ( looks like torque thrusts II's

    heres what its got

    A 1995 t-top pontiac trans am lt1 with 100,00 miles the body is in great shape with A few scratches here and there, just recently installed A comp cam cc503 camshaft , new timing chain, plugs, wires, howards cams valve springs, roller tip rocker arms,trick flow push rods , impalla ss head gaskets, it has A hooker cat back exhaust, mac mid length headers & y-pipe, k&n cold air intake, air foil, it has A brand new stage-3 kevlar clutch for the six-speed, aluminum driveshaft, 4.11 detoit locker, the wheels are 17x9" boyed coddington with 275-40-17 tires.

    wants 3,000$. its looks really clean. needs a little touch up on the front bumper and the head linner is worn around the edges. but still looks good with clean interior.

    so what do you guys think? i dont know the value of 4th gen's thats why im asking

      Seems too good to be true, do you have any pictures? I can only recommend driving the car and running a carfax report on on the car. That price is a good price if the car doesnt have any hidden problems that hes trying to pass on to you...

        That's alot of money for someone to have just stuck into the car to turn around and sell it cheap....I'd check it over real good.

          That should be about a 7k car. There must be something majorly wrong with it to be that low.

              The thing that scares me, is that it seems like the seller knows what he is talking about/ what to do to the car. If he knew about all that stuff, he knows what he has, and if he knows what he has, he wouldn't be selling in that cheap unless there was something wrong with it. Hopefully you can follow my reasoning, lol. On a car that modified, KBB is just a base point. It is worth wayy more than that KBB number.

                I totally agree - I dropped about 7 grand into my build up (including the suspension and what not) so there's no way he should be selling for 3k unless something isn't right.

                    i know what you mean. i plan to run the vin. check the entire car over for rust holes.

                    he says he lost his job and he needs the money. i know its a rare chance but this does happen to people. i wish i could send you guys the pics the car looks so sweet even on a cheap camaro phone.

                    clean michigan title. he said he never got around to getting it insured b/c he has another toy. i know this sounds fishy but it wont hurt to go look at it. who know's i might be finding myself the deal of a life time.

                      They do exist. Hell, when my dad was on the force years ago, he and his buddies responded to a call, only to find in this little old lady's garage, there sat, under boxes and all sorts of other things, a Tucker. The rare finds are there. But be very aware of any and all bad that may mar that silver lining.
