WS6 Trans Am or Formula 1998 to 2002 Wanted
 

Looking for a car for my son and I to work on. Lower mileage, unmodified, auto trans car preferred. Anything but bright red or white! I like the 1998 to 2002 because of the LS-1 engine instead of the earlier LT1 with the fault-prone Optispark distributor.

He likes the WS6 because of the factory ram air hood (what can say? he has good taste in cars for a 13 year old). Since I got my first Z11 Camaro when I was 14, I figured I should start him out at a similar age.

Mechanical issues are not a problem but prefer an original paint, non rusty car.

Thanks, Steve

Still looking. Prefer a black one. The red ones attract too many tickets. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Here's a black hardtop, but is somewhat modified.

I'd love to locate something closer to me in NJ. The shipping/travel cost is what kills a decent price on these cars. And the vast majority that I have run across have been modified and driven hard.

The ideal car would be an unmodified, 2000, black, T-top car, 6-speed with low miles...located across the street. (Like how I found that '87 IROC Z/28 a few years ago that was 1.5 miles from my house. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img])

I like the idea of a 2000 since that's the year my son was born. Kind of neat to work on something that is the same age as you.

98-99 had LS1 intake
2000 models tend to burn oil.
01-02 came with the better LS6 intake.
Check www.ls1tech.com or www.fireball.org forums.

I have been checking out LS1tech.com already. Very good info there.

Stay tuned! (no pun intended)
