IMPORTANT
The starter has seized its existence, so the car does not start anymore. If you want the car in this condition, feel free. However, I'm planning on fixing the starter, when I do the price will reflect repairs.

Well I'm putting up my 1996 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale M6 w/ T/tops (Do NOT leak).

The price is 1800OBO, at the moment.

The car has 185xxx miles as it sits next to my house. Inspection is due in march of 2010.

Mods include:
K/N CAI
Magnaflow C/B
Ram HDX clutch
Mad Z28 tune.
180 Tstat.
!CAGS


The bad.
The car has three codes right now. And I think the starter is about to go.
P0101 - The MAF has been replaced so this should not be a concern anymore.
P0430
P1371
AC/heat work, but they only blow on your feet and window. I never use them so it was never important to me, but I just remembered. There's suppose to be an easy fix on shoebox's website for this problem.

The opti was actually replaced last year, but I guess that wasn't good enough. (plugs and wires have about 20k on them.)

The wheels that come with the car are stockers that are pictured on the first image. Tires have ~5k on them, I used them as my winter tires, so they did not get much of a workout.

This is what it used to look like before the cat back.

This is as it sits right now (TT2's have been sold).

Ok, someone buy it - it will make a nice project car :wink:

UPDATE 1

Few people mentioned that they would like to see pictures of interior, and I promised to take some and post them today. So here they are, as I said there's nothing wrong with interior besides it being dirty....

No worries, I have the cigarette lighter, so there will be no hole there when you get the car.

There are no tears in the interior, as you can see. So you can even buy this car and part it out of you really wanna. I'm sure you will make your money back!!! :nod:

Someone asked about the paint, and I took some picture of "areas or concern". The paint overall is pretty good, its still shiny after you wash/wax it. But it does have some wear and tear, it is 13 years old after all.

Picture 1. When I bought the car this was there - I do not know what caused. It's about the size of a thumb tip (actually it fits there perfectly...) So it is not very big.

Picture 2. Some paint damage on the very bottom side of the bumper.

The rest of the car is fine. If you would like me to take a picture of anything else, just let me know.

Well I'm at Penn State right now which is in State College PA (16801). Pretty long drive for you. I'm planning on getting the car home on Feb 14-15th, so you are welcomed to come by then. Unless you really wanna drive here... which I won't mind :lol:

Here's a little better picture of the wheels and the car.

The wheels + tires are 550 OBO. Don't hesitate to ask :lol: 17's with 275's upfront 315's in the back. Back wheel has curb rash, otherwise they just need a cleaning.

Sorry, I just called AAA and they quoted me 4 dollars per mile, and I live 200 miles away. No way I'm paying 800 bucks for towing. That's BS.

I will either find something cheaper when I get back, or I will fix it here. Unless someone has a tow truck and wants to buy it as is... :lol:

Sorry for the hold up, Ill get it sort it out. Now I have to find a good shop in State College PA...

hey. i just happened to be reading this thread. if you would like to get the car home, the cheapest way is to rent a tow dolly or trailer from uhaul. it's only like 45 bucks to rent a trailer for the day, and for a bit more you can rent a truck to pull it with. I've done this before when I was in the same boat that you are in, and I found it to be the most cost efficient way to go.

Exchanged the old MAF for a new one, so there shouldn't be any MAF problems.

The starter is there, I didn't do anything to it. It just doesn't turn over. Last time it broke, piece of it got jammed, I forget where, which prevented the car from turning over. After that was fixed, everything was fine and dandy. :shrug:

I forgot about this but the car was sold, but I'm still receiving pm's.

Whoever bought it; I hope you enjoy it. I can't match your phone number to any of my PM's so I'm kinda confused :lol: Good luck!
