Default '98 Trans Am, H/C/I/E, 420RWHP, etc.

What's it worth?

Clear title
No accidents
Has A/c and heat, entire A/C system was replaced about 25K miles ago.
Has entire interior, speakers, Pioneer head unit, etc. Paint is not great, but not bad. Swirls mostly, looks tons better when it's just waxed of course, it's just old paint.
102K miles on the odometer, not much at all on heads, cam, intake, tranny, almost all the big mods basically. Stock bottom end(minus cam, etc). Great oil pressure, voltage, etc. All lights and signals and everything else work as they should inside and out. Dash pad is cracked but I put a cover over it I purchased online that looks much better. rear main leaks a tad as it does on all LS1's, nothing major though. Full charcoal grey leather interior, no rips or tears. New tranny mount, carpet out of a low mileage T/A shortly, new window motors on both sides along with the felt pads, new windshield wiper motor, new driver side power lock.

Suspension
BMR LCA's
BMR LCA relocation brackets
BMR Adj. panhard bar
Eibach springs
Bilstein shocks in front
Bilsteins in back, have Strange 10way adjustables sitting here ready to put on if wanted, brand new.
T/A rear end girdle w/stud kit
Stock rear with stock 3.23 gear

Wheels&Tires
Centerline convo pros, 15x4 in the front with 26x7.5 M/T sportsmans(street legal) and 15x7.5 in the back with 275/50 Nitto drag radials on them. Rear tires have maybe 500 miles on them, never seen the track. Maybe 1400 miles on the front M/T tires right now.

Transmission
BUILT 4L60E, will hold 575+HP, I can give you a detailed list of everything that was in the rebuild kit if you need. Edge 3800 stall converter, B&M tranny cooler, new TCC and PWM solenoid last week, shifts perfectly and locks up perfectly.

Engine
Stock block, rods, pistons, bottom end basically.
PRC 5.3L Stage 2.5 heads, fully CNC ported & assembled,stainless steel 2.04" intake valves, 1.575" exhaust valves, PRC dual valve springs, titanium retainers, TSP hardened pushrods.
Torquer v.3 Cam, 231/234 duration and lift is .643"/ .598" on 111 LSA.
LS6 intake
Ported throttle body
Rollmaster double roller adjustable timing set.
Ported LS6 oil pump.
Racetronix 270lph fuel pump.
SVO 30# injectors.
Powerbond 25% UD balancer pulley.
ARP cylinder head bolts.
Chevrolet racing centerbolt valve covers.
Coil packs are relocated to under the windshield cowl.
SLP cold air
SLP lid & smooth bellow
TurnOne Hi-Po Power Steering pump w/billet pulley
New alternator

Exhaust
Pacesetter ceramic coated headers(no air&egr)
Custom ORY pipe
QTP 3" electronic cutout
SLP dual/dual muffler
02 simulators in back

When the car had just bolt-ons, full exhaust, tranny built, and drag radials(stock heads&cam, stock TB, and heavy 17x9.5 wheels in front) and made ~310 RWHP, I ran 7.77 at 88.56 mph with a 1.69 sixty foot at our track. That's a low 12 high 11 pass at any decent track with just a bolt on car. I made a couple passes with the car how it sits, on my old M/T drag radials, and spun my way to a 11.9 at 114mph, 1.7x sixty foot, and this was at Bristol, TN where all cars are noticeably .3 and a few mph slower then almost any other track around, DA and elevation are terrible. It would go 11.5s at Bristol with a decent 60 and alot better as I said at a good hooking low elevation track. Car made 420/389 this year at the rear wheels, tuned by Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh. It runs great, and needs nothing, just get in and drive.
Here's a video of a 7.81 pass at our track, nothing but bolt ons as I said. Car runs very strong. It's very, very quiet for a H/C car when the cutout is closed, and very loud when it's open. Pretty peaceful cruising on the interstate with it closed actually.

If there's anything else at all let me know, I have tons of pictures and such, me know. Thanks for your time.

Also forgot it has a ram air hood, haha. Not a WS6 car, though. The very last picture is how the car sits as of now, except with Nittos instead of M/Ts.

Really Good looking car- love the stance of it.. With it having the stock rear, and miles- and auto(to some hurts this car) I would say around 8-10k.. Hope this helps..

Was putting it up for 10K or best offer, and throwing in some tires in case someone doesnt want to drive around on drag radials, so it helps alot man, thanks.

I agree with bigblock4 on the price, I bet you can get $9-10k out of it. The market obviously isn't great so that is the only thing that may stop you getting the price its worth.

Just looking around, this is the 3rd thread you've posted a rear end actually de-valuing a car. Auto cars put the majority of the strain on the transmission, not on the rear, they don't experience the shock of a dropped clutch at 5-6k, everything is preloaded and unless on a t-brake (not available for a 4L60E) we don't leave past 2k. My rear end has held just fine with zero modification to a best of a 1.4 60' with many other 1.4X 60's to back it up.

Also, it being an auto may not be worth as much to someone looking for an M6, but will be worth more for someone looking for an A4, its all relative to what people want.
