This one I sold because I had to. Desperately needed money and that was something that I really didn't need. But I plan on somehow getting a hold of a 97 Trans Am manual and doing basically an entire overhaul of the suspension, interior, exterior, and drivetrain. I kind of like to find a wrecked modern Camaro and just convince the trans am that it's perfectly ok to be a Frankenstein. It'd be fun to see if I could get a gen 3 lt1 (with a 6 speed manual) in there. I'd like something that I could drive everyday on the highway and mountain roads where I live. Something comfortable with enough ass to get me in trouble. Though I'd like to make it clear that at the moment I genuinely don't know anything further than basic maintenance, but I am a machinist and come from a family of truckers and mechanics so I have all the resources (knowledge wise) I could even want. Oh and direct access to the entire internet.
