Tons of performance upgrades including:

If you pay full price I'll include a set of LS6 heads. I just haven't had time to install them on my car.

Some pics can be seen here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2407208

After the SEMA show email me for more pics. I'll wash and wax the car and take updated pics. The car is fine and runs reliably. It handles and drives great! Awesome sleeper, nobody will expect you coming..

Also forgot to mention the following parts on the car:

-Z06 clutch
- stainless steel brake lines
- hellwig sway bar

-BV

If only you were on the other side of the country! That's a great price for the car you'd be getting!

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

Thank you.

Yes, I probably priced it too low considering everything I've put into it.

And I'm still remembering things I forgot to list on it above that the car has.

Things like the Spohn strut mounts, and I have a new "Drew's" crossmember for when headers are ot be installed on the car.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

Its still a rot box like you posted on fbody.com

Clean the body up and it will be worth every penny your asking

Until then... not so much

Pocket, why do you say "rot box"? Eat up with rust or something?

Ouch. The parts on this car are worth way more than what I'm asking. then there's the EXTRA parts I'm including, then there's the car itself.

If anything I'm asking too little. Unfortunately for me, I feel guilty asking a lot for anything I sell, which is why I'm not in sales for a living. I'd starve.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

A complete functioning LS1 swap that you could take and place into your own 3rdGen is worth much more than $6500.

Dude duplicate your post in the engine parts for sale.

Here is the listing title.

LS1 w Tranny and all extras comes with free firebird $6500.

If you were not so far that engine would be sitting in my car tomorrow.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

Not a bad idea, thank you. However, the car isn't as bad as some are making it out to be. But, either way, like you say, the mechanicals alone are worth this. then there's the suspension and brakes I have, and lots of extra parts. This really is a steal.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

buy it and drive it back. greyhound ship the parts

you'd be bringing it home if you did. I'm from upstate NY myself (where I got the car back in 1991) and the car was originally sold in NJ, not far from Edison.

It did a lot of sitting through college and wasn't driven winters.

That's why the car itself has about 134k miles.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

Hey, tuske427, sorry to go off topic here, but can you explain to me what you did to get her to be smog legal here in CA? The biggest worry I have when it comes to starting my LS1 swap is getting her to be smog legal out here. I don't know if you would prefer to do this in emails or not, let me know.

I would reccomend buying the car as is in a running condition and sell your engine to recoup some $$.

Re: LS1 powered '84 Trans Am for sale!! LA, CA

i wouldn't make back a dime selling the engine. it's currently in pieces and i've already bought over a couple thousand dollars in parts haha. i appreciate the response and love the car. if it is still for sale after i've had time to save some money i'll definately give it serious consideration. good luck with the sale.

I know that feeling. Financially, I'm taking a bath offering the car for this price, let alone accepting a lower offer.

Still for sale? Semi-interested. Willing to ship? Worried about the rust seen on the floor pans.
