Some recent life changes have motivated me to try and sell my car and autocross accessories. It's been really wet out here lately, so the car is just too dirty to take any nice pictures of it (besides, you all know what a '99 Pewter TransAm looks like
). Once we dry out, I'll get it cleaned up and snap some shots. For right now, I'd like to sell everything as a package, but priority goes to selling the car. So if someone wants the car but doesn't want the trailer, wheels, tires, etc, then I'm more than happy to work with that. I'm not willing to sell any of the parts or the trailer until the car sells, or until at least a week or two go by.Also, if a deal is made before June (when classes start up and I no longer have the free time), I'm willing to drive a fair distance to help get the car delivered. Maybe not all the way to the east coast, but probably half way, near a major airport.
I'm asking $13,000 o.b.o. for the entire package below, and I'm willing to mix and match if you don't want everything. Some options include leaving out some/all the wheels, tires, and/or trailer (pretty obviously). I'd also give a discount if you want it with out the stereo/speakers/sub/amps if you're looking for strictly AutoX'ing and want to cut out a little weight and cost. I'll also consider discounting the car if you want some suspension downgrades, but would rather keep it as a package for now.

-Tire & tool trailer
-Class/number magnets (ESP, 2, and 7)
-2 point sub frame connectors (new in box, not installed)
I'm also including the original 16x8 chrome wheels, factory stereo, and CD changer at no cost in case you ever want to "restore" it to completely stock form.
Since the engine was replaced, the car has not been drag raced, street raced, or over revved. The engine replacement was done by a dealership and had a full factory parts and labor warranty when it was done. That warranty has since expired, but I had NO problems with it at all. The car is setup to be able to AutoX very well but is not so harsh that it gives up daily drivability. It's an absolute blast to drive on the mountain roads we have around here. I've done nothing to the engine (other than replacing the engine) or drivetrain.
When I got the original engine dyno'd, it put out 310HP at the rear wheels and 317 ft lb of torque at the rear wheels. I never dyno'd the new engine, but I can say for sure it feels stronger than the original did. Of course, the original had over 60k miles when it was replaced, so it may have lost some of its umph and the gain I'm feeling could just be from getting back to where it started.
The exterior is in very good condition as it has been in covered parking or a garage all its life. There are a few small rock chips in the paint, but for an 11 year old car, it's in terrific shape. As for mileage, it's not hard to get 28+ MPG on the highway. I got 31 MPG coming back from Wyoming last summer. Normal freeway driving typically nets me mid to high 20s.
I apologize for rambling on so much, but if you still have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call.
