It does need new paint but the body is great. I have owned a couple of Iroc's but never third gen Trans Am. I have always wanted a GTA but this thing was to nice to pass up. Let me know what you guys think.

Very Nice 'Vert man!!
And I love the WS6 too! Those AR coke bottle wheels looks awesome on there. I wonder when we'll see those on a thirdgen.

Thanks for the support! Most of the guys at LS1.com said I should have got the heads and cam. I don't think they realize how good (and rare) these cars really are. There's more to life than just going fast. Have two great cars to take to cruise night is one of them.

To answer the questions:

Yes, it is the one that was on ebay at Hillsburough Chrysler outside of Portland. They were asking $6950 to move it on ebay. Kelley Blue Book listed $7500 for a possible retail price at a dealer. I paid under NADA trade in at $6400. I think I did REAL good. I belong to one club locally (Western Washington FIrebirds) and would love to check at the CREW! Let me know when and where you get together.

Short term plans are to use it as my daily driver while I work on the other one which I am currently polishing all the external pieces. Once I am done with that I am going to try my hand at painting the trunk lid. Anyone care to give me some pointers for this? No real performance mods forseen but am open to low budget ideas. I can't wait to take them both to car shows and cruise nights.
