After a long 2 years of searching for the right combo of colors, price, and mileage I finally came across a car that fit the bill. I got her all washed up last night and unfortunately the previous owners neglected the paint so it does need some help. Most of the damage can be corrected with some compounding and polishing. the side body moldings will also be getting removed. Others are going to need to be wet sanded to see if they will come out. As the car sits it has 4.10 gears and a SLP catback. Plans for the exhaust will be headers, cutouts after collectors, and dual 4 inch oval tips. The car will get lowered with new springs and struts. It will be getting retinted because the current tint doesnt look to hot. I'll also be getting the car tuned and the rear tails, fog lights, and turn signals tinted. I will also be getting RPM 505 rims down the road. I will be doing a SLP lip air intake or Volant havent decided yet. Maybe a cam down the road. Expect pics after I get it all corrected which may be a month from now with how busy I am detailing. I am already really enjoying being back in a V8 and this car is a head turner as it sits. Enjoy!

One of my favorite cars! And the color is beautiful. Here in Chicago, there are only red and black ones.

Awesome car! One of my favorites as well. Those LS1's are great and you can really make some serious power with some mods. Plus they sound fantastic.

You know for a body style that came out in 1998, wow that's 15 yrs old... they still look very modern. Heck I even like this style more then the vets or that time period.

What year is it?

Love the color!


We did a 1999 Trans Am that looks very much like yours, my buddy Jay went on to sell it for a $7000.00 profit to a collector in Texas.

This is my dream car. It's on my "list". I'm waiting for the right deal too. I have to have black or white though.

Awesome pick up! Very glad for you!

I love the fbody camaro ss and ws6. Wow! What an aweaome car. With the right suspension setup they'll handle like a vette and look 10 times better doing it. Sweet!

Yeah I love that color too, a nice set of 18" Torque-Thrust style wheels would be my choice and I'm looking forward to seeing what your wheels look like on the car. On a sidenote its funny how far perf has come since that car came out. When new the WS6/SS's of that vintage had 325 hp, now the new Impala with a V6 has 303 hp, amazing!
