Purchased Feb 2012 with 1750 miles on the odometer. I'm a 53 yr old professional male, the only driver, always garaged. I have never spun the tires, they cost too much and it's hard on the car. Bought from a private collector who never drove the car. I bought this to build it into a serious street machine. I have spent a year and $22,000.00 to get this Trans Am to where it is today. I'm a performance car builder ( GTO, Trans AMs, SRT vehicles) and enthusist with lots of experience and many cars on my resume. I will e-mail you the "build resume" on this gorgeous car for you to read, it's 4 pages and would take too much to list here.
I built this to keep as it is my last project, and planned on driving it and being buried in it when I die. I along with the performance shop and a friend with 20 years experience who helps me with car projects went thru this car with a surgeons precision to make it what it is today. I'm probably the only person who would drop the front cradle and engine, suspension, transmission, gas tank and overhaul a car with 2750 miles on it, that's what I did with this TA.
I have pics of the mileage at 1750 then 2750 during the build, and 8877 as it is presently. Every piece and part has been touched, inspected or replaced as needed. The car was only driven 1750 miles over 10 years. $22,000 invested in engine, suspension, exhaust, powdercoating, wheels,tires,interior, sound system, and more...30 MPG HWY with 500 HP and the car still looks almost stock in appearance. This was built as an NHRA Trans Am from the factory, it has all the WS6 parts also.
Summary of the performance modifications: Comp Cams 228/228, Stage 2 CNC Ported Heads, American Racing Headers, B&B Triflow Quad exhaust, Koni Struts, suframe connectors, bigger swaybars, WS6 OEM Hood, Blackwing Intake, 4 layers of undercoating, interior sound deading, Stereo with a sound stage that is unbelievable until you hear it, SiriusXM, bluetooth, DVD watch movies while driving, retains factory steering wheel controls, numerous interior upgrades,it goes on & on.................
Original Laminated window sticker, 2 keys + Fobs and a folder with all the build invoices and everything else. Please ask for and read the build sheet it is descriptive and covers everything. I have other pics and a few from the build time w/2750 milles. Future Relocation forces sale.
This Trans AM drives as smooth as a new Corvette, 0-60 4 seconds flat, NO exhaust droan or road noise in the cabin, immaculate show room condition, everything and I mean everything is new on this car, top to bottom, bumper to bumper, inside and out. Folder with all invoice and expenses goes with the car, title in hand, car remains parked until sold.
OVER $42,000 INVESTED IN THIS CAR
If you are looking for a low mileage Trans Am they are getting to be rare these days, if you have always wanted the ultimate american muscle car owned by a mature owner and built to precision standards like this one only 2 choices exist:
1) try to find one under 10,000 miles that's $20-$24,000 and spend a year and $22,000 to get it to this level and performance.
2) Consider this car and spend the extra $4-$5,000 and save yourself a lot of money, I'm taking a $15,000 hair cut selling this car, and throwing in $1,500 of additional Wheels, Tires, Slotted rotors, pads, and other stuff all BRAND NEW for FREE!

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ Hatchback
Sun, Jan 22 2023The car-building world was rushing headlong into front-wheel-drive by the late 1970s, eager to reap the weight-saving and space-enhancing benefits of front-drive designs. General Motors designed an innovative FWD platform to replace the embarrassingly outdated Chevrolet Nova and its siblings, and that ended up being the Chevrolet Citation. The other US-market GM car divisions (except Cadillac) got a piece of the X-Body action, and the Pontiac version was called the Phoenix. Here's one of those first-year Phoenixes, not doing a very good job of rising from its snow-covered ashes in a Colorado self-service yard. Pontiac had used the Phoenix name on a luxed-up iteration of Pontiac's version of the Chevy Nova during the 1977-1979 model years, and so it made sense to apply that name to the Pontiac-ized Citation. Phoenix production continued through the 1984 model year (the Citation managed to hang on through 1985). Just to confuse everyone, the Nova name was revived in 1985, on a NUMMI-built Toyota Corolla. The LJ trim level was the nicest one for the 1980 Phoenix, and it included lots of trim upgrades and convenience features. However, even Phoenix LJ buyers had to pay extra for a three-speed automatic transmission instead of the base four-on-the-floor manual ($337, or about $1,291 in 2022 dollars). If you wanted air conditioning, that was another $564 and you had to get the $164 power steering and the $76 power brakes with it (total cost in 2022 dollars: $3,080). Affordable cars weren't so affordable back then, not once you started adding basic options. Both generations of the Phoenix had grilles influenced by those of the Pontiacs of earlier years. The base engine was the chugging 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, but a 2.8-liter V6 was optional. This car has the V6, rated at 115 horsepower rather than the Duke's miserable 90 horses. The price tag: 225 bucks, or 862 inflation-adjusted 2022 bucks. The Phoenix was available just as a two-door coupe and five-door hatchback. The MSRP on this car would have started at $6,127, or around $23,469 now. That would have been a pretty good deal even after paying for the options, with the Phoenix's excellent mix of good interior space and solid fuel economy… but the Citation and its kin (the Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark as well as the Phoenix) suffered from seemingly endless, highly publicized recalls and quality problems.

And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals.
