Transmission: Pro-Built 700r4 w/ 3400 converter
Axle/Gears: 10 bolt w/ 3.42 gears
FS: 1989 Street/Strip Trans Am $3,000 obo

Well... the time has come to sell the car. I've had it for 10 years and have not had the time/money to put what is needed into it the past few years. Time for someone else to enjoy the car. We had a baby 8 months ago which has taken away from time and money I used to have to enjoy the car.

Car is located in Nashville, TN.

Details:
1989 Trans Am
Car has ~135k on the body
Engine was swapped out ~5k miles ago
Trans replaced shortly after.

Specifics:
355 c.i. w/ TRW Forged Pistons
LT1 crank and PM Rods
Clevitte 77 main and rod bearings
Mildly Ported Trick Flow 23* Cylinder Heads w/ .600 lift springs
227/233 112LSA 109ICL Combo Motorsports Camshaft
Holley Commander 950 Engine Management System w/ Wideband Upgrade
Heddman 1 5/8" Long Tube headers
Custom TaterShack 3" Y-Pipe
Hooker 3" Catback
Pro-Built 700r4 Transmission
Edge Racing 3400 rpm stall 2.4 STR Torque Converter
3.42 Gears

I'll add more as it I remember/find details on everything I put into the car.

Asking $2,750 obo for the car as it has all the parts to be a great project. Parts alone in this car are worth more than the $2,750 asking price.

The car could use some paint and 2 tires (perfect excuse to throw DR's on it!)

How drivable is this car for street? Daily driver material or no?

I think I've seen this car...i'm a former WTFBA guy, looking to get back in the fold.

Re: FS: 1989 Street/Strip Trans Am $3,000 obo

Hey guys... thanks for the interest!

You may have seen this car a time or two at various events we attended in the MTFBA w/ the WTFBA guys.

Car is in Nashville. We are moving, but to another house in the Nashville area. Problem is that we are going to build this house and it won't be done for 4-6 months and I'm left w/o a place to keep the car.

Title is clear and in the fire safe at my house...

I will try to get some interior pics over the next few days. Super busy right now w/ moving and work, but I'll get something for you soon.

The car is actually pretty tame and would be great as a daily. I actually daily drove this setup for about a year after I put the motor/transmission in until I got a 2000 SS to DD. That was before the HSR and Commander 950 though. It should actually be even more street friendly w/ the new intake and ECM.

The car is not sniffer emissions compliant now, but you don't have those issues down in the Memphis area anyways. It is just us Nashville guys that have to worry with that so that won't be a problem for you to DD the car.

The car has been run on this shortblock/transmission combo once. It has not been run since the intake and Commander 950 install.

Dont bump it to the top,, leave it at the bottom till we figure a way to get it in my garage ..... Ive talked to Chris extensively on the phone he seems like a great guy to do business with. Its a shame the car is so far away from me or else it would have been sold awhile ago......

Guess distance didn't end up being an issue after all!!! Hope you enjoy the car! Glad it is in the hands of someone who can treat her well!
