Not sure if I really want to sell, just life getting in the way. This is a bit of a project, but I think with minimal work the right owner could make this a fantastic cruiser, or make it into a pretty high level autocross/road race car. I was never quite willing to really take it to the steps needed to take it to the next level for that sort of stuff.

Transmission: 6 Speed T56 from 1994 Trans Am, LT1 style, Stage 2 Competition Clutch (brand is "Competition Clutch), very streetable

PA Racing Strut mounts (extra height for more strut travel, important for the low ride height).
Wheels: 2x 17x9.5 ZR1, 2x 17x11 ZR1, 4x 17x9 ZR1 (these are the white ones that have the race tire, Nitto NT01, these arent included, but Im open to selling these wheels, tires for free since they're older. Any ZR1s in the pictures above that aren't white are the 17x9.5 and 17x11 set.)
Basically, this car does NOT suffer from a lot of the handling problems extremely lowered cars have. It's VERY stable and very well balanced. I tended to come in the top 5 or close to it in raw overall times in the autocrosses out of 40-60 cars. Most cars this low are very prone to sudden snap oversteer. This one is not. It's VERY planted.
There's probably a lot of stuff I'm forgetting. The car has some very minor issues but nothing serious. I think with a weekend of work you could probably road trip it if you wanted. The car when dialed in is a great cruiser from a power curve point of view. Very fun, but not overkill for street driving. But also there's things like the radio doesnt work, and no heat or air conditioning, rear hatch mechanism doesnt work properly, etc. Like most cars with this amount of work done to them, it was always a constant work in progress, but always driveable and fun along the way. Just depends on where you want to go with it. Like I said earlier, I was never quite willing to throw a cage in it and gut the interior to make it a road race car. So it's at that point where a lot of the car is ready for the next step, but it's still close to it's street car roots.
Paint is original, with all the character included with that. No rust on it. Absolutely rock solid. As far as I know it's never been hit. I've had it since 2007. Dirty, a little rough around the edges, but a survivor and relatively clean. It's a good foundation for whatever you want it to be, except maybe an all out drag car, but you could probably set it up to do that too, but it's just got a lot of good road race parts on it.
For now, I think the number that makes sense to me for the condition it's in and the value of the parts in it, I'm asking $7500 obo.
Let me know if there's any interest. This is a car that deserves more attention than I give it these days.
