**This is not a perfect car but I am not asking top dollar. I am being 100% upfront with any interested person as much as possible. I listed any/all of the problems no matter how small below. This is great base/cheap way to get into a cheap fun LS CAR.**
The car just rolled over 100k miles on the odometer. When I got the car, it was sitting for over a year in the driveway. Right off the bat, I did a full synthetic oil and filter change. Overall inspection front to back, reset tire pressure, new wipers etc. The car originally had tan interior that was painted black. Also the car has 93-96 Camaro seats that are custom upholstered Black with White Center Sections. The rear seat was originally a tan leather Trans Am seat that is now painted black. The door panels are the original tan door panels painted black. The door panels do not have the common cracks on the top panel but are only in okay shape. The Carpet, Sail Panels, Speaker Covers, Rear Hatch Panels, Cargo Flap, T-Top Holders, A-Pillars, Kick Panels and Hatch Panels all came out of a 2002 Trans Am and are factory Ebony (Black) in color. The carpet has some stains in some areas, the worse area is in the rear hatch. I showed a detailer and he was pretty confident he could use an extractor and get the stains out no problem. The headliner was originally grey and some one wrapped it in Black fabric it actually doesn't look that bad. The sun visors are removed and there a two small spots of ripped fabric by the curve of the t-top. The t-tops remove/install easily no fighting to latch the t-tops.
　
I just replaced both front window motors, and re-riveted the drivers side window regulator from a previous repair so the windows function as they should.
The Bad/Problems: (Being as open/picky as possible)
There is a scuff/paint flaking on the right curve of the rear bumper.
The front turn signals are painted white and nearly no light shines thru.
The passenger power mirror doesn't adjust to the right.
There is no keyless entry remote there is a aftermarket alarm remote that doesn't work.
There is no AM/FM Radio reception and the power antenna does not go up/down
The steering wheel controls do not work with the aftermarket radio
No Front License Plate Cover
The exhaust is very loud because it is full straight pipe.
The y-pipe rubs/hits the floor at certain stops/accelerations when going slower.
There is an exhaust leak from the y-pipe to the passenger side header.
The 10-bolt has some slight gear whine on light acceleration
The LED Gauge cluster lights flicker/dim (Never had luck with LED lights on F-body clusters)
The HVAC display lights go on/off at random (Haven't pulled/checked the connector)
The A/C is inoperable - Hose missing from the top, compressor and condenser are all gone.
The vehicle should be tuned/checked - The car idles high and runs very rich, also shifting is sporadic with the stall and at Wide open throttle it will tag rev limiter in 2nd gear sometimes and 3rd. Upon further inspection it appears the trans needs some parts replaced or a used unit swapped in. Hence my price drop (Not sure who tuned it, or if its even tuned but the speedo is correct and no Check engine light is on)
The OEM fuel gauge is inoperable and the Autometer Fuel Gauge reads high, when you fill the tank the Autometer gauge reads super pegged full. When the Autometer gauge reads Full its about 1/2 tank, and when the Autometer gauge reads 1/2 Full your about on empty. I've been keeping track on the trip odometer. I'm assuming whoever installed it used the factory sender.
The OEM Volt gauge and Autometer gauge both work and there is no issues there.
The passenger side low beam headlamp has a ziptie across the top left corner. I haven't had time to inspect or look at it but it doesn't shake or move when driving and the light works.
Washer nozzles don't squirt onto the windshield it sprays out under the hood. I haven't looked into it and not sure if its just a fitting or the hose is disconnected.
The passenger side wiper arm is missing the cover that snaps over the nut that holds it down.
I have one set of keys (Ignition/Door) No OEM Key Fobs/Remotes
There is no owners manuals/paper work with the vehicle
No spare tire, tools or jack included.
The door ajar chime goes on as soon as you open the door even if the key is not in the ignition.
The drivers side t-top seal leaks slightly if you spray directly on it or go thru a carwash.
Missing the door lock tab/covers on the door panels
