trading to an lt1

[Derek3.4]

Well, looks like I'm trading my 93 camaro v6. BUT, I'm going to be getting a 99 T/A in return. I only wish they would have kept the ls1 in it. It does have a built lt1 in it right now. The guys swears it would half track his old z28 he had traded to it. All I need to do is put the front end back together. It looks to be a ws6 model with the factory ram air hood. not sure though. He started it up for me and it sounds like one hell of a beast. I've also talked to a few people who knew the car and they told me it would flat fly out from underneath me. I was told it had around 2k put into the motor. It was set up for nitrous but they took the bottles out and left all the gauges. I think overall, it's a pretty good deal. Been dying for a v8 anyways. I still have the 00 firebird to play with once I finish the t/a.

I was always told that if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Good luck.

Why would someone put an LT1 in a 99 Trans Am?

Well, he said that 99 trans am has an LT1 in it. He also said he needs to put the front end together, so thus it was probably crashed. So, a 2-3k car that needs a lot of work for a good condition 93 camaro v6 that doesn't need any work doesn't sound too bad.

Re: trading to an lt1

Well, from what I can figure the guy that owned it before this guy was into racing and had a built lt1 he wanted to use or blew up the ls1. The guy told me it didn't have a scratch on it when he got it. After 3 days of having it, someone tried to steal it and didn't even make it out of the hollow before he crashed it. The front was put on a frame machine and straightened out (i know the guy who did it and he doesn't half *** anything). That's why the front was taken apart. I have to hook the radiator up and re-assemble the front clip and headlights, do a little painting and it would look awesome. The car has sat for a year and a half and it started right up after he jump started it (dead bat.). All in all, I don't think it's too bad of a trade. It's everything I'm looking for except its not a manual. That can be fixed later. I'm going to be getting a really good job and I'll be able to spend a little extra cash on it to get her looking good. I don't think re-assembling the front will be that bad at all, I'll still have my firebird to reference things. I can always save up and put an ls1 back in it if I choose to. I'll be going tomorrow to sign over the title and hopefully will have the thing this weekend if I can find a way to transport it. The guy already has all the parts to re-assemble the car. He was in a bad wreck and the damages keep him from fixing it himself. He really justs wants a 6 cylinder for his daughter. He was also offered a mustang around the 2000 model era that has a wicked paint job and no motor and he chose my car instead. I'm not going to lie, it'll break my heart to see my first car drive off, but 7 years is a good run.
