The basics
- 1988 Trans-Am in Silver (Mercedes Brilliant Silver making it unique).
- 5.0L TPI (Tuned Port Injection) V8 engine.
- T-top with removable glass roof panels.
- £3,000 ono
The good
- new battery. Was having trouble starting it last year but new battery has cured that, even in the cold (-4degC this morning and started first time).
- service history since I bought it in 2008. (Nothing from before this).
- performance air filter.
- serviced annually since 2008. (No history before this).
- custom stainless steel twin exhaust system fitted in 2009. Quiet around town but makes an amazing roar when you press the loud pedal.
- Insurance comes under classic, so it's cheaper than my Mondeo.
- radio / cd player with USB port for ipod. (Internal dash photos are from before I installed it).
- original bag for the roof panels.
- sports suspension.
- I have spent over £2000 on her in the last two year. Some structural welding and loads of shiny new components shipped in from USA.
The bad
- the seatbelts pass the MOT every year but I wouldn't want to rely on them. (I have spares that will come with the car).
- the driver seat tilt is locked in position to pass the MOT. (I have spares that will come with the car).
- there is a small crack in the windscreen around where the rear view mirror attaches. It has been there for 5 years and never moved.
The ugly
- the paint around the wheel arches is starting to blister. It is still intact apart from a tiny breakthrough on the front right but probably only has a year or two left before it will need respraying on all four wings if you dont want to do a touch up job before then.
- there are a couple of cigarette burns to the interior headliner and wheel arch cover, from before my time.
The rest
- I have a box of other parts including a section of exhaust (not needed since the stainless system was fitted), spare seatbelts, filters, belts, seat hinges etc that I will thrown in as well.
- I will consider delivery within the UK for the cost of fuel and a train/plane ticket home. This is to be negotiated separately. Deal price assumes collection from Dyce. I can meet you at the airport or train station if required.
- reason for sale. I feel guilty having her tucked away in the garage most of the year when someone else could be enjoying her. I am currently doing less than 1000 miles a year and haven't even had the time to take her to a show this year.
Photos
- Large photos are from summer, small are from previous years. If there is anything specific you want to see, just ask and I will take new ones email them out. I can also do short videos if you want to hear it start, or run, or anything similar.
NO SWAPS.
