Wow!
Very nice car Joe (both of them too
).
In 1999, I too, went and looked at a under 5,000 miles 10th Anniversary Trans Am.
This one was perfect too.
It wasn't for me, but for someone I met on the internet (on some Trans Am board, it may even have been TAC).
They wanted $25,000.00 for it.
It looked like it was right off the showroom.
Except for that small rear main leak.
It had louvers on the back glass, and a bra on the nose.
The owner (a girl, as her father died, who really owned the car), put the bra on, before he passed.
She never took it off, and didn't want me to take it off.
So, I gave the best discription I could.
Everything was super on the car, but I couldn't see the nose.
Man, I wanted that car!
I was out of work, she wouldn't do any trading, and the guy I was looking at it for, started trying to deal with her.
She called me, mad that I had said something wrong about the car.
I guess he decided to wait her out, as he got the car much cheaper (I believe around $18,500.00).
He was somewhere from back east.
I seem to always be looking at beautiful cars for people (I looked at a super low milage 25th Anniversary Trans Am, that was just in the current issue of HPP, and even got my name mentioned).
Someday, I'll be able to look at one for myself.
My last car was really my 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am.
I had put money down on it, in October of '88, but then I bought 4 other Trans Ams befrore the car was delivered (April of '89).
But I sure have bought a ton of parts for them all, including the ones I don't have.
I sure would love to find one like yours, in the same condition, for little money. ;D
But somehow, I don't think that will happen.
I have a bunch of NOS GM decals for that car of yours, including a new in the tube, Hood Bird.
Maybe if I get rid of some of my non-Trans Ams, I'll have money.
Is that an early shifter knob on the car, or a generic one?
