Description:

This listing is for a modified 2001 Trans Am with 21k miles on it. I personally with the help of Abra auto body did a frame up rebuild so it will have a salvage Title, but this is not a smash and fix for profit. I have spent 13 years on this car. I took it down to the frame. All parts that could be were upgraded to top of the line performance parts.
The paint is Corvette Millenium Yellow. The engine was pulled and all parts stripped so the engine bay and other areas will also be yellow and not white the original color. The front left fender has some paint chips from a tire scrape. Easy fix. Other than that the paint is perfect.
The exterior has a lot of work done to it. Ground effects all the way around and a WS9 hood not ws6. The hood stays 4 inches high all the way back to the dash. It also has extra engine air vents. I shaved the door handles and the antenna. The car has door poppers so when you unlock it just pops open the driver's door and you can push again to pop open the passenger door. They are both spring loaded.
The engine is a 389 cu in LS6 stroker motor. It's a 6.4 liter not an LS1 5.7 liter. Everything was replaced from roller rockers to rings to crankshaft. It is supported by a chromoly engine K-member/ enginecradle. 100's of lbs lighter than stock. The engine still has good compression and I have dyno sheets to prove it. It's about 480 - 500hp off the crank depending on the tune and fuel type. It has 60 lb injectors as the 42's were maxed out 24 is stock. The cam is huge and has a tall lope so it has the rough idle I like. No drivability issues at all. I just had it into the dyno tuners for a checkup in July and she is good to go. My opinion bulletproof.
The transmission is a built 4L60E with a shift kit. It has about 10k miles on it after rebuild. I have had zero issues with the tranny and it's solid as a rock. I recently put in a Vigilante 2800 stall torque converter with a turbo mod as I was going that route, but stopped. It's very street able at 2800.
The rear end is a Moser 12 Bolt with 4.11 gears. This is not for the highway, but at 70 I am at 2400 rpm so it isn't too bad.
The fuel system is a dual Walbro 255 setup running at 70 psi. 60 lb injectors up front with aftermarket rails. Future proof for boost or NOS if the new owner decides to go that route. No nitrous have even been ran through this care PERIOD.
The exhaust system is SLP long tube flow matched headers to a Y pip and a flow master exhaust. There is also a cutout welded in place for open exhaust for the track.
The intake is a custom build. The intake manifold is a fast 90mm paired with a 90mm Nick Williams throttle body. Manifold ports are port matches to the heads.
The battery was relocated to the back of the vehicle and has it's own bracket and 200 amp breaker (not a fuse).
There is a two way lcd alarm and auto start installed. It will tell you if there is an impact from 100's of feet away and you can start and see it started as well.
The interior is in good condition. Seats are fine with zero wear or rips and the leather is still great. Nonsmoking vehicle. There are a lot of gauges installed. The 3 middle vents have gauges in them now. Very unique. Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel Pressure. I also added an aftermarket steering wheel.
The tires are good, but the wheels themselves are showing some wear and corrosion. The wheels are just chrome 2002 Corvette wheels. I'd have them refurbished or just get a new setup, but the tires that are on the vehicle are not cheap and have a lot of life left in them. Nitto Drag Radials are on the rear. Falken F451 Z rated on the front. I do have draglite 13.5 et streets, but haven't ever used them on the car, yet. . .
The suspension is stock ws6 springs and shocks. Every single piece of the rest of it has been replaced with stronger and lighter chromoly parts from A arms, trailing arms to the adjustable torque arm. Almost every single suspension component is adjustable so if you drag or run it at the track you can have it tuned to your needs. Full suspension tune is not cheap though. That cost me $750 alone and I had it setup for street not drag.
The brakes are zinc plated drilled and slotted rotors with EBC brake pads. Still in great shape.
The car is water tight. No odd leaks from the T-Tops or windows.
Things that should be noted.
I removed both air bags. I was going to install an LCD in the passenger side, but never got around to it. I removed the AC so there is no AC at all either. Also the Cats have been removed as well. Might be an issue for out of state buyers. It has only seen the track one time on a 90 degree day. The car is capable of low to mid 11's easily with slicks. The Nittos spun all the way through 1st gear and the best I got was an 11.7 in the quarter without a dyno tune. Even spinning I beat vipers pretty easy. With traction the car is a monster in the eighth mile.
The bad.
Even though I did a restoration in my opinion and not a repair it's still flagged as salvage. It has been inspected by MN DOT and passed. I've been working on the horn so I might have it fixed, but it's not a huge deal just needs to be wired properly with the new steering wheel. There are a couple gauges for the turbo I planned on installing that are not connected, but are installed and included and can work without boost as well. Wide band A/F and Boost PSI. The paint chips I mentioned earlier in the description on the front left inner fender. I just bought a new center console lid I haven't put on the old one broke. The radio needs an intennna or an antenna. I just listen to CD's. They make cheap antennas that go on your windshield. The exhaust tips did get kicked and are slightly bent. Not bad. That is all I can think of so other than that she is perfect.
Final
There is too much to list everything and I may have missed some things so bear with me. I have a lot of parts to go with it as well. I don't need to sell this so please do not low ball me I won't even respond. I have over 50 grand into this and countless hours of blood sweat and tears and a few scares. If I don't get what I want I will just keep it. I think with a little work its magazine worthy. I just don't have the room anymore and don't use it enough. Hence the Mileage. I will entertain offers, but no I will not trade you for your honda civic. ;)
Any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks
