Well everyone, the search is over! After a 9hr trip to Kansas City, Missouri for graduation and looking at a car, I’ve finally found my first F-Body! I am a proud owner of a Bright Green Metallic 1998 Trans Am. *Applause…the community goes wild!* (I know it is not a Camaro, but it is in the family!) There are only 98 Trans Am with this color made, and Pontiac never brought it back. So…please help me welcome “Jade” to the F-Body club!

Exterior:

The body of the car looks really good and clean. There are some fades/nicks on the weather strips, but that is expected for a 14 year old car. After winter, I planned on replacing all the weather strips.

Interior:

The inside of the car is “immaculate” compared to other cars I have looked at! Haha. The leather is in good condition. The only issue is the head liner/ visors. There are some rips/saggy spots; Nothing to major though. I have already called a few upholstery shops for some rough estimates. Within a few weeks I will have the headliner redone.

The visors have some tears in the liner and are starting to crack. I can get “new” visors on eBay for around $50-$100.

Engine:

The engine sounds are runs mechanically well. I drove the car all the way from Kansas City to Ohio. She purred all the way! The engine/bay is dirty. I have an appointment this week to get the car detailed. The will clean/degrease the engine bay and make it look as “new” as possible.
There is a small issue with the high beams. One, they do not work, and two, the high beam light is on the dash. The car is going to the mechanic tomorrow for a tune up, and to see if any/all belts need replaced, so I will find out what the issue is.

I am going to make a mod log for this car in the "Show your car off forums" so check back often for any updates!

Enough with all the talking…time to introduce you to Jade!

Wow, that looks awesome, I've never see that color on a bird before , just v6 camaros.

 

Thanks! I have never seen it before until I went to look at it. I really like it!

 

I don't believe I've seen that shade of green on a 4th gen before. Looks really nice, congrats.

 

Looks great love the green

 

Nice ride! What did you end up paying for it?

 

Cool man.. Good for you!! First order of business is to get a set of wheels on it. I think something with a black center and a polished lip would look great with the green. The only thing I dont like is that it only has 2 pedals.

 

congrats! love the color.

I have the visors from my racecar in the garage, they are in pretty good shape but are light grey, if those will work, you can have them, I have no need for them

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I payed $4,900.00 $100 under my budget!
