car was already modified for a ls based engine and a t56 tranny
pedals and clutch hydraulic cylinder already mounted
comes with tranny crossmember and ls1 motor mounts
12 bolt with moser axles not sure on spline, and a spool
q1a adjustable coilovers in the back on a protouring half leaf, link bar setup

there is also a brand new fuel tank with a ls style drop in pump already installed

the body is straight and has actually already had all the bodywork done to it and painted but the guy ran out of money and the body shop never finished clearcoating the front fenders and hood so they are all faded and scratched
if it werent for that i wouldnt even worry about paint for it right now
as far as i can tell the body is all original i have found factory green overspray on almost everything so it appears factory and i know that this car sat in that body shop for about ten years and in another shop for several years before so it has been sheltered nearly half its life atleast
all of the glass is perfect no chips or cracks
the interior is non existent the only interior i have is the factory dash of course,two late model 98-02 trans am bucket seats already installed factory console and custom shifter plate and a modified t56 shifter that comes out in the right location

i posted some pics guys sorry my wifes camera cord isnt working for some reason so these are cellphone pics
it is a very straight and clean car and has alot already done and well over the asking price already invested
sorry i will try to get better interior pics but that is basically it everything inside is being stripped, sanded and painted black,probably 2/3's done with sides dash and rear but still need floor also
also that is a photo of the rust under the trunk lid which as i said is covered and not worth cutting out to me when the trunk lid covers it,but it is like that on the sides and top of drip rail

yes i do have the front fenders and bumper
the fenders need to be repainted they were never cleared and are scratched and dull because of that
the bumpers look ok have some pull marks where someone hooked a chain or something
i had planned on new bumpers any how for $350 why not

I also have cash.
I'd like some pics of the interior the way it is, and of the hood, not real clear on the style of hood your referring to. Also, of the rust damage you speak of.
Also, what front wheels/tire setup is it running?
