First real drive in over 7 years (last pic is when I got her)

Randomly happened upon this 2000 Trans Am WS6 Convertible for sale the other day. Pulled the trigger on it today. Only 19k miles. Loving it.

Whole weekend full of chickens

Ended up being much longer than expected so TLDR:

Car is diluting oil with fuel and I don't know why. Has a few other symptoms that may be related.

Video is an example of regular idle with no surge as these issues seem to be inconsistent and I am trying to limit running it due to the fuel dilution.

My 1989 Trans am with an L98 is running poorly. My number one concern is fuel dilution, fuel seems to be getting into the oil at a steady rate, but compression tests seem good and it is extremly close to nuetral blow by. It also idles at 1400 rpm until it has heated all the way up. Once it has heated up, it has a surge with an amplitude of about 70rpm, but it doesn't always surge. I think the issue causing the dilution is that it is running rich, even though at idle there is no black smoke, I can smell it, and there is black smoke when revved a little. I can also smell gas when I take off the intake boot between the throttle body and the MAF sensor. This made me believe the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm was leaking into the plenum via vacuum line but it holds fuel pressure when primed as well as holds vacuum. It is also acting normally with fuel pressure while running with fuel connected and disconnected. Here is a list of relevant parts I put on: FPR diaphragm, fuel matched injectors, coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor, idle air control and the entire ignition system. All of these parts have brought the car from not running to where it is now, but it still has thus issue. The throttle position sensor outputs the exact correct range, the MAF sensor was unplugged and the car ran the exact same after a much longer than usual crank period. I have checked for vacuum leaks extensively using carb cleaner and but blocking off all non essential vacuum lines.

Smokey and the bandit on the big screen

I’m looking for a 93-97 Firebird / Formula front license plate mounting bracket. I’ve got no way to affix my plate to the car and New York is a two plate state so I don’t need to accrue any fix it tickets once this thing is out of the shop. If anyone’s got a lead on one (or knows an aftermarket part that won’t force me to drill my bumper up), it would be most excellent.

I have a 1995 5.7l convertible trans am (not ws6) and I need to find this piece can anyone help?

2002 Trans am, 33,905 miles, Michigan

Been looking for a 3rd gen trans am for a while now and found one that seems perfect, wanted to see what the consensus was? 5 speed manual, 305, with the digital dash for 11k.

Update: Talked to the guy and saw the car, GTA is confirmed, motor is 350 from corvette, transmission is world class T5, 9 bolt rear end. Everything else is stock and its rust free. Gauges all work but some readings are slightly off. I think 9k is a fair price
