1996 Pontiac Trans Am for sale - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

I HATE to do this but I'm putting up my Trans Am for sale.

1996 Pontiac Trans Am A4
2:73 gears
T tops

Why you ask? I had a spinal fusion (C6 to C7 - metal plate - 4 screws etc put in my neck) and I can't take the stiff ride. I've put maybe a couple hundred miles on the car since September 2008.

I just got a 2009 Mercedes C300 (with a soft ride) as a new car so the Trans Am is up for sale.

I bought the car from one of our members - here is the original thread:

The previous owner was meticulous with records - I have a HUGE file with everything!

I really enjoy the car but I never planned on making a race car out of it - I just wanted a nice well rounded daily driver. If I was going to make a race car out of it I would not be selling it - I would let it sit until I'm healthy. I've done some mods to the car since I've owned it:

Long tube headers w/ AIR and EGR
Daul 3 inch cat's
Magnaflow exhaust
MSD Opti, Coil, Wires (original owner)
Cold air kit
Air foil
Mail order tuning
Poly tq arm mount
Poly transmission mount
Pan hard rod
35 mm front sway bar
boxed sub frame connectors
1.6 roller rockers
H4 conversion
Xenon low beam headlights
royal purple oil (original owner)
Slotted front and rear rotors
strut tower bar
aftermarket alarm
locking gas cap
2:73 cars cannot go into first gear as GM put a restrictor on the automatic shifter, I removed that
LT4 knock modules

I dynoed the car at TTP at put down 280 RWHP and 303 RWTQ in 2nd gear (damn 2:73's) -

I have since added the high flow catalytic converters and tuning so I guess it is probably right around 300 rwhp and 315 rwtq

I got a best of 13.839 and 102.17 in low 70's degree and high humidity in June 2008 (didn't have the cats on or tuning yet)

I had planned on doing the following but had the spinal fusion:
Torqu arm mount
Trailing arms
3:73's
21 mm rear sway bar

The only bad with it is the headliner is a bit ripped and the plastic dash bit has a crack - you can see it in the pictures.

KBB.com says a good condition Trans Am is $4,880
Add in the modifications

I am looking for $5,000

Car is dirty in the pictures as I haven't been driving it - I will wash/ vaccum it soon.

Hey,

As for bottom dollar for the Trans Am - I don't really have an amount in my head - what is the buyer looking to spend.

No thank you.

I'm getting out of the f body game due to neck surgery (spinal fusion).

bonesbrakr · 05-31-2009, 04:07 PM

Not a problem. Figured it doesnt hurt to ask. Without the trade id only be able to go up to $3800 and i know thats too low so free bump and good luck with the sale....

12secondv6 · 06-02-2009, 11:34 AM

Thanks for the offer - yes, $3800 is below what I'm looking to get but thank you for the interest.

12secondv6 · 07-20-2009, 07:39 AM

TTT, car is just sitting in driveway collecting dust.

I have my c class back so I'm not driving the T/A.

Quick recap, neck and back are still bad so keeping an f body is not an option for me.

I've looked it up and the T/A fits the guidelines for cash for clunkers. If no one buys the car this summer than I'll be trading the T/A in, getting a new car, and they crush my trade in T/A.

Someone buy it

12secondv6 · 08-23-2009, 08:33 PM

TTT or best offer

maroman88 · 08-23-2009, 09:24 PM

Just got it back from inspection. For me to pass, I need to remove my xenon headlights and install regular bulbs. They said it looked too blue - I explained that when I turn them on there is an initial blue look but once they heat up it is clear white - they were cool but rules are rules.

The inspection sation said everything else was fine.

I've got some regular bulbs so I'll put them in this weekend and get it reinspected.

Just bring it to a goodyear or something man...believe me its worth the 30 bucks.

12secondv6 · 10-01-2009, 12:38 PM

This garage is only a couple blocks from the house - it is actually much easier to go through them because my back/ neck can't handle the car.

But, I appreciate the info

12secondv6 · 10-04-2009, 02:57 PM

Bulbs changed so I'll make an appointment sometime this week
