5,102 Original Miles/WS6 Performance Pkg/5.7 Liter LS1 325hp V8/6-Speed Manual

2002 Pontiac Trans Am

Forecasting the classics of tomorrow is pure conjecture and speculation. Vehicles are inherently liabilities, not investments. However, some vehicles are undoubtedly more significant than others. If one were to attempt to validate such a vehicle, here are some issues to consider: Is it an anniversary car? Did it Have Limited Production, does it hold water with pop culture use, and is it fun to drive? Well the last one is speculation.

For consignment, chance to put yourself in the seat where you will be driving excitement! This in the form of a 2002 Trans Am 35 Anniversary Edition. This car was much beloved by its owner who has recently passed, and now his wife is parting with this low mileage much beloved car. A beautiful coat of collector yellow with ebony trim combination, WS6 performance package, and I'm excited!

Exterior
Making use of many a curvaceous surface, this car appears to be moving when standing still. From its shapely integrated bumper with fog lights, turn signals and air intakes, it seamlessly moves into the hood. Up here we are greeted with more air intakes, bulbous hidden headlights and a dual cowl hood scoop complete with dual screaming chickens and licking flames heading towards the windshield in multiple shades of warm gray. Speaking of the windshield it has a major swept back rake to it and adds to the Rubenesque line when viewed from the sides. More air intakes, good gaps and some sweeping graphics are seen here. The large black B pillar supports a swept back curved greenhouse glass rear window, and this makes its way under an integrated tail spoiler. More round design on the rear honeycomb taillights, and another curved integrated bumper and we have a thing of undulating collector yellow beauty.

Interior
Popping off the smoked glass “T” tops we can venture inside to a world of more curved surfaces in the form of high back, black leather covered power bucket seats with embroidered screaming chicken graphics stitched into the headrests. A dual bucket setup in the rear. All this leather is in good condition showing them aging gracefully. The buckets flank a sweeping forward black console which houses a large glove box/armrest and the black leather booted and topped Hurst shifter. The undulating dash, in black, houses the instrument panel, a banging Delco radio/ CD player with equalizer and 10 speakers strategically placed to rock your world. This radio can be controlled by the steering wheel so you can continue your cruise while changing the tunes. Nice black carpet covers the floors. Just a note the mileage showing on the digital odometer is a paltry 5,102 original miles.

Drivetrain
With Ram Air, EFI and a WS6 performance handling package, this healthy mill can take you down the road at exciting speed. Rated at 5.7 liters, our LS1 with electronic fuel injection, and a T56 6-speed manual transmission throwing power back to a RPO code GU6 3.42 posi rear axle will have you up to speed in no time. Exhaling is through factory manifolds, and stock mufflers.

Undercarriage
Save for some usual surface rust on uncoated suspension parts, it could be considered factory underneath, with great structural integrity, super clean floor pans, and a straight frame. A low restriction exhaust, traction control, independent front and torque arm rear suspension, and power disc brakes all around. I'm now past excitement nearly to the point of delirium. Cue the yellow overspray from the factory!!

Drive-Ability
Turning the key will ignite the candles immediately. This car has plenty of power, rides very nicely, and has an ergonomically comfortable interior setup for the driver. A flip of the traction control switch and you get a whole different ride. Great airflow without the smoked glass t-top panels installed.

Well maintained, and looking good, one cannot go wrong with this not mellow yellow anniversary edition 6-speed beauty. 17” black coated 5 spoke wheels with high performance tires, plenty of conveniences, and the removable “T” top and we have produced exhilaration, well beyond the bounds of excitement! NURSE!! Time to change my diaper, the decoder just took me for a test drive. (Tongue in cheek!)
