Alright, let's do this FAQ style and make it simple, shall we?
What are you selling?
1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with about 104,XXX miles.
How much?
PRICE DROP! $5900 or best offer
What factory options does it have?
- 5.7L LT1 V8 285 HP
- Charcoal leather
- Manual Traction control
- Power everything
- T-tops
- Automatic with 3.23 gears and Posi
- Chrome 5-spoke wheels (excellent condition)
What modifications have been made?
- Color screen Pioneer headunit
- iPod interface box (allows iPod control/charging through headunit)
- Infinity door speakers
- Rockford Fosgate 6.5" sail panel subwoofer
- Pioneer amp for door speakers
- Rockford amp for subwoofer
- Shift kit (installed professionally by previous owner), not sure of brand or stage
- Polyurethane transmission mount
- Polyurethane torque arm bushing
- Borla catback exhaust
- Stainless steel Corsa clone exhaust tips
- 180* thermostat (160's were sold out when I decided to replace it)
- New water pump (+/- 1,000 miles ago)
- Shaved door trim, looks like LS1 doors now (muuuuch better)
Anything wrong with it?
- Needs nose repainted (someone in a lot backed into it, no physical damage whatsoever, just paint)
- Needs u-joints replaced (already purchased them, just need to drop the drive shaft and pop them on)
- Quarter sized hole burned into stitching on passenger seat (While helping a friend air up his tire with a small compressor, the wire melted through the covering and naturally, through my seat.) Also, typical bolster wear on driver's seat, however, it can be patched up as it is not too serious yet.
- Tires will last through summer with no problems but I recommend replacement
- I HAVE NOT ever had problems with the window motors, optispark, tail lights bubbling, or panels cracking.
Pictures?

Pics do not reflect the nose paint damage or new exhaust. I will take updated pictures, including pictures of all damage, as soon as I get back home to her.
How many times are you going to list this car for sale until you're serious?
I mean it this time. It is necessary because I am leaving to a place I cannot take it.
And where is that? Why are you selling it?
I am leaving for the United States Air Force on September 2nd, 2008. It is too hard to have it shipped all over to where I am, so once I am settled at my base assignment (hopefully in FL), I will get into an LS1.
I don't get it. Cut to the chase here...tell me exactly what I am buying.
You're buying my baby. I love this car with all my heart (just ask my girlfriend). I have tried to sell it a few times because of pressure from gas prices, but decided to hang on to her. Now, I have joined the Air Force and there is just no reason to let it sit at home for 20 weeks 1,000 miles away. It's summer, someone else needs to pop the tops and have a good time. I never beat on her and rarely drive her hard. Now, let me be clear. It's obviously a fast car so I lay into her for fun every now and then, but I am not your typical 20 year old car owner. I just don't find myself driving her as much because I have been riding my bike or running places to get myself in shape for basic training. She is 100% reliable no matter what trip she needs to make. I have an internship in Detroit and Grand Rapids and a handful of times, I tasked her with driving there. Always a smooth, relaxing trip, and I get pretty damn good gas mileage, too. She is never driven in the winter and stored in my Dad's garage next to his WS6. We have both spent most of our lives around F-bodies and other assorted cars, so it is always well taken care of. Mobil 1 full synthetic and a new filter every 3,000 miles. I don't care how anal it is, I like fresh oil. I wash her pretty much every other day, claybar once per year, and wax once per month. The inside is vacuumed and UV protected every time I was her, and admittedly, the interior is in very very good shape. No serious stains or discoloration. Never smoked in. The paint is still brighter than most red cars on the road, even brand new ones. My friend has the same red T/A and his paint is faded and flat in comparison. The car was originally owned by the brother of the wealthy gentleman I purchased it from. He owned it in Grand Blanc, and his brother bought it in South Carolina. Because the gentleman was well off, it always received the utmost care regardless of price. He had it professionally detailed and maintained, and kept it in his garage. It has never been in an accident or anything of the sort.
How can I get a hold of you?
- PM me
- 989.493.4564 ANY TIME. I don't care if it's 4 AM, I'll probably be available and willing to discuss it.

NOTES:
I can probably have the issues taken care of, but I would rather get rid of her ASAP. With that in mind, make me an offer after you have subtracted a fair amount of money from the price to take care of everything yourself. I know EXACTLY how much each item/labor will cost, so please, be fair to me.
NO LOW BALL OFFERS, PLEASE...ANYTHING SERIOUS CONSIDERED!
ps. This is my 400th post! High five for me!
