1995 Pontiac Trans Am
355 LT1 with 12,000 miles (rebuilt)
T56 six speed (rebuilt) with Hurst Billet plus shifter
Moroso CAI
MSD OTVC wires and Streetfire coil
Pacesetter Headers into custom 3" Y pipe with Dynomax bullet cats
Hooker Catback with 3" cutout
PCMForLess Tune

I got this car in a trade with a member on here in April of 2011. It was in pretty good shape but had some sensor issues and emissions issues. When all is said and done I replaced the IAC, MAF, O2 sensors, Opti, water pump, spark plugs, and installed the cats on the Y pipe to pass emissions. The car runs like a swiss watch now; very smooth idle and very responsive throttle. The stock interior was worn light grey leather so I installed ebony leather seats.

Future mods include replacing the worn panhard rod, installing a rag joint eliminator, installing ZR1 rims and tires, a new clutch, and a rear rebuild or replacement. Oh, and a good polishing. The pics are just from a wash and quick hand wax.

Certainly a work in progress but a blast to drive nonetheless.

Car looks great Bill. Anything built inside that 355? Or was it just a stock rebuild that they cleaned the cylinder walls on...

Stock rebuild, but I am cool with that for now. Gives me a chance to baseline the rest of the car and make sure everything is up to snuff before I start changing cams, etc.

Great looking car man. I love that color! I had almost the exact same car but mine was custom ordered with the standard firebird spoiler instead......had it only a month before it got totaled.

that is the mystic teal metallic right? my 95 Formy was that color and is awesome

WildBillyT · 01-05-2012, 01:16 PM

Yup. MTM code 43. I am trying to work up the balls to try touching up the paint in some spots. Because it's metallic and kind of color-changey I am very hesitant.

98F-1camaro · 01-05-2012, 02:06 PM

oh, nm. I thought it was that blue color that you dont see around too often. Still a nice looking car.

ZR1s added yesterday. I was concerned that they wouldn't look that great on a Trans Am so I went with black lugnuts to break up the silver. I think they look pretty decent.

Blackbirdws6 · 01-08-2012, 02:52 PM

I think they look pretty good. What size did you go with?

17x9.5 SLP ZR1s. 275/40's all around. Looking at these pics reminds me this car needs a polish and detail so bad.

The car handles noticibly better but brakes worse.

Wheels look good, but I still like the chrome stock wheels. If the new wheels were chrome, I would say they could be awesome. Nice looking overall condition and the interior mods look really nice.

I like them both, are you selling the stockers?
