one rare bird!!

This blue convertible prototype is 1 of 1 made, reverse of coloring of a 1999 30th Anniversary Trans Am. Everything, right down to the badges, is reverse colored. The wheels are Titanium pieces that cost more than $2,000 each.
The wheels used on the TA were 18” magnesium units borrowed from the Corvette parts bin. The wheels were powdercoated white to go along with the white graphics on the car. A complete Baer 4-wheel disc system replaced the OEM binders. The fronts featured monster 14” rotors, cross-drilled, with Baer aluminum calipers. The rears were 12” rotors capped again by Baer aluminum calipers. One thing is for sure, the car had tremendous grip and stopped on a dime.One of the coolest things about the car, however, was the little plaque on the console. On production 30th Anniversary Trans Ams this plaque lists the number of the particular car its on, such as “257 of 1500.” On the Dream Cruise car, however, the little plaque summed up just how special this Trans Am is; it read simply “1 of 1.”

id say manesium, titanium would cost WAY more than 2 grand per wheel and they said that they re-used the stuff and i know that they make sum 1/4 panels out of magnesium to save weight.
