You are looking at a beautiful 1995 Trans Am with only 31K original miles.
I found this car in the neighbor's garage with 28K miles on it about 5 years ago. He purchased it for his wife to drive and she did not use it very much. It was completely original and in perfect shape so I bought it. This is my favorite Trans Am body style and I love having it in the garage to look at. After buying it I took it to McSwain's Automotive in Rockwall, Tx and had the following installed:
Edelbrock throttle body
AMI mass air sensor
Cold Air intake
Strut Brace
New Chrome Alternator and other little misc. Chrome pieces
Fantastic MagnaFlow exaust with adjustable sound plates
New High performance brake pads with slotted and punched disks (looks really good and stops on a dime!)
Honeycomb tail lights (I have the original slotted tail lights but I happen to like the honeycomb ones better so I ordered them and put them on).
Corvette Chrome rims with BF Goodrich g-Force T/A 50's
This is the car I dreamed of owning when I was fresh out of college and could not afford it, now that I can afford it I built it. It is real fast and handles like a dream. Sounds amazing. More fun to drive than a corvette in my opinion.
So I have kept it under a cover in my garage. I start it up every couple of weeks and bring it to temp and move the tires around. When the weather is perfect I take it out and drive it around town. (This car has not seen rain for over 11 years) It turns heads everywhere it goes because it looks almost new! I took it to a concert at the House of Blues in Dallas and the valet guy parked it right up front with the Mercedes and Ferrari's just because he thought it was so cool.
The interior looks about as new as 18 year old interior can look (with the exception of a few very small scratches and one crack in the dash - see pics)
The exterior is in excellent shape. If you are familiar with these cars you know that since this is original, there is small spider webbing in the flexible front section ( see pic )
Because I want you to know exactly what you are bidding on, the other small flaws are as follows. Small scratch behind passenger window (see pic), touched up scratch near gas filler neck (see pic), small scratch on dash from when the main hard plastic dash pad was replaced.
Everything works perfectly. (even the power antenna!)
So why am I selling it? My oldest son is about to start driving and I do not want to be tempted to allow a teenager to drive this car. When I bought it I figured I would have it until it was 30yrs. old, but things change.
I have all the parts (except the exhaust) to return the car to completely original. I have the rims, original tires that came on the car, original tail light assembly, air sensor, etc. This is all included in case you want to return it to original when she turns 20 and becomes and antique.
The car is in my garage in Heath, TX if you want to come look at it before bidding. Feel free to email with any questions.
Finally, I am not interested in talking about Blue Book value. This is a rare opportunity to own a really cool F-body that is in better shape than any you will see. I have about $ 20K tied up in the car and I am not trying to get that much out of it but I am not interested in selling it really cheap either. Just wanted to be up front about that. Thanks for listening!
Enjoy the pictures and good luck!

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?
Sun, Feb 4 2018It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
