In this video, I buy my childhood dream car! This is a car that heavily influenced my love for the F- Body Camaro and Trans Am and what inspired me to buy my ultimate dream car at 18, a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6. This video was kind of a rollercoaster as I was super excited to buy it and I did get it running and driving after it was abandoned for many years but what I found hiding beneath was pretty devastating.

Bring the T/A over to the kids house and help him swap the engine. Great learning experience for him and it will complete your journey from 25 years ago. Leave the carcass with him to sell the parts to make a few bucks. Your Mom would be proud and make a nice manicotti dinner for the family. Merry Christmas! 🎄
That'd be a great video.
Better yet bring the young man to Legit Streetquarters.
Absolutely
i was just about to say that, would absolutely watch that!
This is the best idea I’ve heard in a while. I really hope he does that
Thanks for keeping this channel not only about cars but about FIXING them. So many channels used to work on cars and now they're just about making content and only turn a wrench one in every 10 vids.
We know who all you’re talking about too, without mentioning names. Well said.
@@standyourground9973 Am I the only moron that doesn't know who you're talking about?
@@77yogurt I'm not 100 percent sure either but I'll take a guess and say SC
@@77yogurt Tavarish, Samcrac, Auto Auction Rebuilds.. few that come to mind
@@standyourground9973 I see now. I don't follow them too closely so I haven't noticed.
Alex, you are the king of turning lemons into lemonade. I agree with the others who pitched you not only surprising the kid with the car for parts, but helping him do the swap. Your dream car will live on and you've done a great thing in the process. Thanks again for all the awesome videos!
Wow man what an awesome guy, I just stumbled Apon your channel and I love your content and the fact that you are willing to give a car away to keep the car community going and inspire the younger generation is awesome, thank you
Beginning of the video: Wow, only $1500, can't believe you got it for that!
10 minutes in: Wow, I can't believe you spent $1500 on that car.
Win some, lose some, glad you're able to find a good home for the engine, LSC doing wholesome deeds as always!
That's exactly how I felt
How much was it sold for initially?
@@gzhang207 new LT1 TA fully optioned would have been just under 30k
I had a feeling you’d end up with this. I’m happy to hear you’re giving it to someone that needs the engine 👍
Exactly what I thought, someone is going to get a great engine out of this.
for $1500 it's definitely worth it.
I want the dashboard
Of course his motive was to score this car. Why do you think he was buttering him up about this was the very car that got him into fbodies. And, please let me wash your car. I wouldn't be complaining about how rough the car is especially when you only got it for $1500. If you don't like it then sell it for the same to someone who will appreciate it.
That old dude screwed him with this POS car
Car guys are the best type of people. They always help and even go as far as giving free parts to other car guys without even known them. I am so glad to be part of the community.
You're such a good person. Thanks for doing this for this kid. I wish someone did this for me when I was growing up. Good man. We apprieciate you
I'm heart broken that it was in such bad condition, but happy that you got it to run again if only for a little while. I'm sure Mel will be happy to see it drive too, and if the kid with the dead engine ever gets back to you at least some part of this car may live on. Also, I know not everyone is down with mouse traps, but even if you want to go the humane route just make sure you put them along the walls and in corners where they'll run to stay our of the line of sight and act fast before they start to consider your nice warm garage their new permanent residence.
Exactly, get that car out ASAP before they make a new home
Someone we pass by walking the dog has an E34 540i manual that has sat in the driveway for years. I think the tag is from 2018. It's rusty though being a Michigan car. So sad.
Screw mice. Just kill them like any normal person would.
My first two cars were LS1 Camaros (Z28 and an SS) back in 2000/2001. Back then, the LS 4th Gen F-bodies were all basically brand new and I'd never seen one with high miles - seeing that undercarriage that I was once so familiar with just falling apart really hit me. Can't believe how time flies. Edit: seeing the poor old girl drive and try her best despite her condition was even worse, oof
There’s gotta be less corrosive solutions to dissolving snow, road salt absolutely RUINED this once great sports car and relic of the 90’s
@@standyourground9973 there is! I live around Detroit and my county uses a brine/beet juice mixture to treat the roads. It's much less corrosive and puts way less salt into the waterways. Unfortunately, it requires different equipment to spread and all the surrounding counties still use rock salt.
@@scottbutts6703 probably red tape as well… Thanks for chiming in, that’s promising
@@standyourground9973 good name and pic.
@@scottbutts6703 brine/beet juice is a pretreatment that you put down on bare asphalt to prevent frost from making the road icy. It does not melt thick snow and ice. If you get 6” of snow you need to put down heavy amounts of rock salt to melt the ice and snow back down to the asphalt.
So glad to see you trying to work on this car. Its so sad seeing a lot of these cars rot away.
I applaud you. Congratulations for driving your youth car. One of my favourite cars ever too. Love the body, the big red lights, the pop up lights. That moment you talking to the / year old Alex...priceless. congratulations again. Drive it on video one more time please.
That guy just kept that car till the value and condition plummeted. I get projects that never get started/finished but seems like he was just hoarding it as if it was gonna miraculously fix and restore itself one day.
Classic example of never meet your heroes Alex, I do feel your pain, there was a bike I saw everyday growing up and when I was old enough to ride I bought it, it's been off the road many years and was to far gone to be saved, I ended up using it for parts, broke my heart to do it.
Anyways on another note, to get rid of mice get some traps and use peaunut butter as bait that'll catch the little critters.
I don't know why, but from a purely mechanical point of view, this was among my favorite of your videos. Seeing it go from a hopeless rust heap to running well (albeit still not at all street safe), was deeply satisfying. The fact that you give it to a young guy in need makes it even better. Bravo!
Awesome video! Love Trans Am’s also. I’ve had a 1997 and 2000 TA in the past. Very cool of you helping out a younger generation.👏🏻
Alex, regarding getting rid of the mice: I would recommend the Classic Rat Zapper. I have used one for a long time whenever the mice try to move in. It uses 4 AA alkaline batteries and electrocutes the mice when they ground the contacts inside. I found the mice in our area (I live just north of you) really like cocoa puff cereal. A couple of pieces of cereal in the far end works like a charm. The mouse goes in, grounds itself on two metal plates, and dies quickly. Then you just dump the mouse outside or in the garbage.
@@mcf3778 the Rat Zapper is not a live trap. I have tried those sprays that he tried and they don't work that well if at all.
@@mcf3778 Key word was ELECTROCUTES not trap.
@@mcf3778 That's the thing, they didn't actually relocate on their own...
Fucking spam bots. stop posting the same thing under multiple accounts on multiple videos. get a life
@@RLC2020 I have never seen bots copy my comments into other comment threads. Thanks for pointing that out.
Plumb the exhaust into the cabin and leave it running for a while, that'll sort the mice out.
As long as u sit inside while its running
@@snoopy5736 definitely sit inside it, it will scare the mice even more
So glad Grandpa never killed himself. The old Garage had Termites and he used to let his old car run in there warmed up but with the choke manually set back on. Quickly bail out and let it simmer for a while....
🤔 interesting…
@D B are you dense?
Good to see you passing it on to someone in need, especially a young enthusiast, good karma bro. Watching from Mission Beach, Queensland Australia.
I have a ls1 camaro and also did a few videos of getting it started from sitting 12 years and I gotta tell you it feels good to see things resurrect again. Congrats on getting the car started !!
Hi Alex. Thank you for all the enjoyable content you create. I have enjoyed and learned quite a bit by watching your videos. Im hoping you and anyone who reads this can benefit from my experience. I bought an auction car that I did not know had mice until I got it home. I struggled for months trying to get rid of them before I was successful and they did extensive damage to the wiring on the auction car as well as my daily. Mice do not have bladders. They urinate as they walk leaving a trail. The trail of urine is an attractant scent for other mice that can be picked up from quite a ways off. This means even if you get rid of the few that are in the car their urine trails or anything that they have urinated on like carpet, seats, etc. will continue to attract other mice. I do not wish to alarm you or anyone. My intent in sharing this info is to encourage you to scrub and disinfect anywhere you even suspect mice might have walked. What compounded the problem I had beside not knowing that mice urinate everywhere is that modern cars have wire casing made of a biodegradeable food based product mice can actually live on. Ingenious idea right? Many cars have suffered thousands in damage this way. There have been hundreds of law suits by consumers against car manufacturers that are easily found with an internet search. The manufacturers won and consumers were on the hook for the costs of the repairs. I hope you do not have the small problem turn into a months long nightmare like I did. In my experience I also learned that Honda makes a wire harness tape that is infused with capsacin to keep the mice or pack rats from eating and living on the vegetable oil based wire casing. Also in my experience that peppermint spray works well as a preventative measure. It does not work to overcome the attractive smell of their urine if mice have established themselves somewhere as they have in that TA. Until you remove and discard everything that is covered or saturated with their urine in that TA it is a big invitation to any mice downwind of it. Please learn from and benefit from my experience. Also please be sure to wear mask and gloves. Mice waste carries and spreads many harmful diseases that are highly transmissable to humans. Stay healthy and well please. Sorry to communicate this info to you that might be distressing. Im hoping you can nip it in the bud before it escalates like my situation did. Id also recommend not using the pellets that are an attractant that they eat and then die. They can eat them then crawl into a wall, hvac, or dashboard and die. Difficult to find and the smell is sickening. Best Regards.
I didn't get a notification for this video, but I saw your post on Facebook. I'm glad to see that you're going to turn this experience into a positive one. Great video, Alex!
Awesome, Alex. Super nice of you to help out a young enthusiast. 👍
I just did the same thing. The car that made me fall in love with Monte carlos finally came up for sale so I bought it. It’s been 24 years of wanting this car and I finally got it. It’s rough but not too bad. 💪🏻 such an awesome feeling buying your childhood dream car
That's what every car looks like here in Manitoba, Canada. I like your channel as you deal with similar issues to us up here. Rust, cold weather and broken bolts.
I am still amazed at your car finding skills! Congratulations!
LOVE THAT CAR :)
GLAD YOU HAVE IT NOW CANT WAIT TO SEE WUIT YOU DO WITH IT
One of your best videos yet, always enjoy your content. Too bad it's not worth totally fixing it up. Would love to see you part it out.
A cat would make pretty quick work of the mice + they're always a nice addition to the family :). Just make sure to not have any loose coolant around!
I agree. And if you get two cats, you can start a cat channel called LegitStreetCats
Agree plus you get the 300,000,000 cat lovers (views) that spend all day watching cat videos.....everyone loves a good cat video
I had mouse problem until I got 2 cats.
Man.. that thing makes me feel REALLY good about my 98 Formula, even with the clear coming off, the bad fuel pump, and the broken rear diff. Welcome to the 4th gen club, mine was my economy car for long distance drives while I was in the military. Yeah a 5.7 LS1 is an economy engine. I think it needs a stroked 6.0 and a 9" because I have other stuff to do long trips in.
Hes had a 4th gen for along time
swear I'm seeing you in every comment section now lol
@@moparjr89 haven't been getting his videos in my feed, and somehow got unsubscribed.
@@busterscrugs similar interests?
The classic snap traps work great. If you have trouble with the mice snatching the bait without getting trapped, then bait the traps without setting the traps to gain their trust a few times and then set the snare.
The glue traps in the big tin box trap works great also.
Shawn Woods has a great channel that covers all kinds of mouse traps and pest control. He has a great video on bucket style trap that will work for sure on those mice. Good luck!
My first car was an 86 IROC-Z with a 5.0 TPI. My second car was a 99 Trans Am with the LS1. Every day I regret selling either of them. The 86 was a little crusty, but those IROC-Z's handled great and sounded mean. The 99 was a money pit, but damn it was fast. My favorite pastime in that TA was smoking mustangs and the occasional jaguar that thought they had a chance.
I had a 1995 Formula Firehawk WS6, LT1 with 6 speed manual, that car was the fastest darn stock vehicle I’d ever owned.
Sad to see all the rust! Glad it ran for you! Enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing!
Looks like a nice car to work on, I guarantee that when you finish you'll have a Sence of accomplishing the cars restoration ,you'll be very proud driving her down the street knowing you did everything to bring back a nice long gone but back trans am muscle car. It'll be nice to see it back on the road again.
Just when I got excited 😞. I hope you find another LT1 car to do a series on. Keep up the great videos Alex!
Welcome to Legit Mouse Garage!! I hope you get all them little dudes out of your garage! They are cute tho! 😂
Reminds me of a 1999 F250 super duty I bought. The 7.3 turbo diesel's a beast, like brand new, but there's more rust than metal on the body. I'm slowly rebuilding the truck a few pieces at a time, and cutting out parts of the truck and wielding new metal in a few pieces at a time. It's a long process, but a vehicle can be brought back to life with enough time, money, and labor.
You can always determine the coolest guys in the neighborhood by what cars he’s pushing down the street home. LoL
Definitely another epic LSC video. Just remember to keep T-Tops as souvenir. You deserve the Momento. Lol.
A really great donation to that kid besides that car would be a 24x conversion with a 411 PCM so he doesn't have to go through the Optus spark blues.... Watching this video reminds me of how glad I am that I sold my LT1 cars
What a score! Glad u are the one with it, only if I could find a deal like this😏😜 love the LSC content🙌🏻💯😁
Brings me back to my 73 Nova days in Chicago in the mid 80's.. All the rust under the car where I put a 1970 LT-1 from a wrecked Vette once I made the drive line/suspension safe. Just never had the pets in it.
Just wanted to say that I live your videos and I think it is great that you do good like giving the cars to people.
Well done Alex !!! Looking forward to learn more from you and your projects
Love this channel ❤ I keep waiting for uploads lol
I had a similar incident happen a few years ago. A couple down the road from me had a 85 Monte SS was able to buy it back in 2014 for a father son project. Got quite a bit of work done to it decided to pull the front clip and you could stab through the firewall with a screw driver. Shortly there after it got sold for parts a few weeks later. Broke my heart to see it end the way it did but it fueled my fire to get into cars.
Had a friend back in the 90s that bought a 95 FireHawk back in the day. Loved that car.
Before you give it away, pull those tail lights! They look like super clean 98-02 examples. They are 3-400 on eBay! Would recoup some of your $$ before it goes to parts car heaven!
No one buys that shit tho there’s plenty in the junkyards
@@migmogg8087 there’s not many in the junkyards. I buy all I can and sell on eBay for $150 each
@@202motors6 buy my 87 TA tails $60
One of my high school dream cars also. Keep up the good work.
I like when you listing issues for 40 minutes and on every one you adding on the end "but besides that is fine" :D True love!
my grandfather actually owns a bright red, 1996 trans am (with the convertible top). Theyre absolutely amazing cars. always been my dream to inherit it. We paid a good sum to get the top and interior completely redone (let it sit in the rain down in the humid parts of florida unfortunately) and were planning on getting it brought up here to where we reside now in Georgia. Cant wait to drive it again :D!
I’m glad you bought it!!!!
LSC, it looks like the Philipino cat drove the car heavily during winter prior to parking it. Good thing you didn't pay too much for it and it kinda sucks that it can't be saved but it is what it is. I was going to suggest saving the Trailblazer he also had but that looks to be just as bad if not worse than this Trans Am.
🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥 one of your best yet bredren 💯🔥
Sad to see that TA all rusted out. Nice of you to give motor and transmission to someone that needs it. 😉✌️🎄
Good Morning Alex! I'm going to love this build! 🤜⚡🤛🇺🇸
Cool I like the videos on this Trans Am. They were definitely a cool car when I was a kid, but I just like its what got you into cars. Ive got a few of them like that that were in my neighborhood. 240z and a Mitsu Starian.
I feel this. I had a super nice 87 trans am in my high school days. So many memories with that car. Lucky for me I was able to buy it and fix it up to near show quality while in high school due to some reasonable music success back then. Sold it in 99. Though about trying to track it down many times but I thought it would be impossible. But one night in a hotel room waiting for surgery the next day, I decided to try. I was talking with the current owner within two emails and one Facebook post. I'm in Iowa, car made it to California after a brief stay in Chicago then Colorado with the guy I sold it to. It still had the same tires on it! My custom color shifting paint was faded and clear coat flaked away. Interior looks like someone put two pitbulls in it and the pissed them off. It still ran but had the same gremlins it had when I owned it, even after I dumped a fortune under.the hood. It LOOKS solid as in still no rust but it would need everything, I can only do paint and minor bodywork myself. I wish I had the means to do everything myself. The car meant as much to my mom as it did to me and I'm giving her a kidney soon, so it'd be fun to share that rebuild with her because we haven't really had a whole lot to smile about in recent months. Unfortunately it's too much for me to do.
I was super excited I found it. Then I saw it. It could be brought back, but maybe in another life, I could do it. Super disappointing.
But, no mice!
I got the last tire inflator! Thx for the code Alex! Great Christmas present.
Hey Alex! You should try hyflex gloves! They are really nice mechanic gloves and cost affective
Alex, I am not sure if this translates to F bodies, but my C4 vette with an LT has a Flood Start mode. You hold the throttle and clutch to the floor while cranking the starter. It deactivates the fuel pump, and allows you to crank the engine to get some oil pressure into the system.
Saves me from having to remove the fuel pump relays.
Hope this helps!
Mazda RX-8 has the same feature.
I thought all cars had that "clear flood" mode. (I think my Saturn and Subaru both do) Are there some that don't?
@@rpavlik1 I am really not sure. If not, it really needs to be. I have always worried about the oil pressure after an oil change, so that feature came in handy when I discovered it. If you find out about your Saturn(its rad that you have a Saturn btw) and Subaru, let me know!
Best,
Luis
What a trip down memory lane. I have a 95 Camaro RS that I bought about 7 or 8 years ago. It was in very similar condition to your T/A, especially the floor pan and rear axle and rear subframe and rear inner wheel houses. The body, motor, trans and interior were in really great shape and I had spent $2700 on the car. Most people would have junked it or parted it out, well after about 6 years I got it completely rebuilt and back on the road. It is not a show car but just a reliable summer time daily driver, that with the T-tops out still manages to turn a few heads every time I take it out.
Sup bud! Love your channel and all you do for everyone you can. Your amazing! I put moth balls in the garage. I never have any wildlife anywhere around the garage. Smell is a little strong but it works. Also shave a bar of Irish spring soap around the yard. Everything will stay away. Good luck!

Learning so much from you, brother! These videos are addicting!
I really appreciate your latest video. I now feel like I understand what your life has been like. I have much more respect for you buddy!
Cars sick af. I want one. Congrats.
As for the mice problem, I use a pop can on a wire across a 5 gallon pail with water in the bottom. Add some peanut butter on the can and make sure it can rotate easily. Self resetting trap!!!
I made one of those and it does work real well.
There are humane and easier ways. Where all living beings go their separate ways unscathed. But you guys are too bad ass for intelligence and empathy. Enjoy every negative thing that happens to you. Now, 3 times worse.
I was super happy to see you bought it! At first, I thought... $1500!!??? What a steal!! Then you put it up on the hoist.... Dang!!!
That young kid will def appreciate the "donation". Acts like that will produce gearheads for life. Good for you--and him. Maybe get him to make some vids of the swap in progress.
I've got a 95 Suburban 2500 and I'd love to see you snag a similar car and go through different tiers of upgrades for performance and looks. Like "if you have 1000 to spend, these are the worthy upgrades" and kinda go up from there
Start with a tune up and gaskets and all fluids changed. From there do a corvette servo if it’s a 4L60E, CAI, exhaust, and tune
I love F-bodys. Have to get one again. I bought a really nice CLK500 with a 7G-tronic last spring as I thought it would be as fun but my long gone Camaro -95 Z28 with a 6 speed was much more fun. Way less quality in most parts except mechanical where they are probably equal, but much more character. I'd be looking for a manual LS1 Camaro with some mods.
Try a 2005 E55 amg.. true not a manual but as a previous owner of a 95 Trans Am with a 6 speed absolutely approved.
You and VGG are the best things on the innerwebs, good job
Very good, thank you for the content, and yes, I really appreciated it!
Some new floor plans/rails & all new suspension/subframes & rocker panels & it’ll be good to go
Wow! That escalated quickly from a diamond in the rough to the type of revival Vice Grip Garage does.
I don't think even Derek has enough license plates for that floor.
This episode was hilarious, only because I’ve been in the same position with 4th gens in the rust belt. The absolute coolest part was him donating to the kid if it ran. Great video
Yep! Sometimes you see what you want to see. They are/were fun cars!
In terms of the mice situation, regular spring mouse traps work pretty good if there’s just a few mice. Just put a nice piece of cheese or ham on the trap as bait and they’ll eventually get caught. If you’re worried about there being more than like 5, check youtube on multi catch traps
peanut butter works well as bait too. I put a old snap trap out with some on it and lasted less than 3 minutes before I caught it.
@@computerguytommy Can confirm peanut butter is best.
@@computerguytommy peanut butter definitely works well. I’ve tried other “tricks” found on the internet with no success. Dryer sheets, pepper, those plug in do-dads that emit a high pitched sound. None of those worked. The old spring traps with the yellow bait pad work the best.
Also the bucket with the spinning pop can works well.
Alex: "These F bodies are not that bad to push, let me tell ya!"
Literally me pushing: ☠☠☠
Haha!
Part of the design, they knew people would be pushing them often.
I'm not a big car guy, I just never have been. All I know is that when I was born my dad bought a 2002 WS6 Trans Am Firebird. He built it up and made a bunch of changes to it, and I loved the car. Trans Ams are definitely really cool, and it's nice watching you fulfill your dream car dreams.
That’s why I miss my mom’s 96 Trans Am. The Chicago winters are brutal and the first thing to go are the brake lines from the salted streets.
Anyone other than a CZcams would be wise to sell it for parts. That said, it's all there and with time and space one could strip it all the way back. With shrewd negotiations buying spares it would make an interesting rebuild series.
The seller made out well with $1500 in his pocket and a junker out of his driveway
Glad to see you're back into F bodys
So happy your channel is doing so well.
Regardless of the condition of the car. I think 7 year old you would approve 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Currently own a 1996 camaro z28 with a Holley terminator! Would love to come check out some of your collection! I’m about an hour and a half south of Chicago!
@Dominick Huh?
After watching the first video of this car when you washed it, I was hoping so badly that you'd buy it and have your childhood dream car. When I then found this one, I was so excited to see that you actually did buy it, only to have my emotions come to a crashing halt when I saw what the condition was. What a shame. Such a beautiful car. I've loved Firebirds and Trans Ams since I was a kid, and have a 98 Firebird that I purchased in 2000 currently and had such high hopes for this! But glad to see that the engine runs so well. Hopefully we'll see a follow up video of the engine running in someone else's car, keeping it's spirit alive!
Love These Cars. I Just Put A New Lt1 Block In My 94 25th Ann Trans Am GT. Still Breaking In The Motor As I Type This. Currently At 160 Miles.
I found mouse droppings in my garage last year so I lured one of the neighborhood cats in with a bit of food and closed the door on him. Let him out the next morning, no signs the mouse survived. Welcome to the food chain.
Most likely that rusted floorpan was caused by leaking t-tops and the car filling up with water. You could put a new floor pan in it, assuming your doing the work. Otherwise that could exceed the value of that car.
Classic industries has all the parts.
That car's roached not even worth putting a floor pan in
That’s what I hate T tops. I owned a few and I got tired of wearing a raincoat every time the car was driven.
The majority of the rust is from
Chicago winter
road salt.
I always thought the firebirds were just a little cooler, just a little more unique (grew up a ford guy), and as I’ve gotten older I’ve developed a weird fixation on the WS6 cars 🤔🤷🏻♂️. Having watched the first video in the series and the one where you explain how LSC came to be this second video was pretty cool. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Congrats Alex 🥳
Check intake for mice nest as well, engine could be running rough because of air restrictions
Hey Alex, do a garage update.
Use some Tom cat mouse traps with peanut butter or Snickers also works well. Also place sticky traps around the entrances to their "homes". When placing them use gloves so your scent doesn't get on them. Nice are pretty smart. I did have an issue with them recently and this has worked really well for me. Use a lot of traps though to increase chances of catching them.
Coarse ground pepper everywhere works well as rodent repellant.
I have a '99 Camaro LS1 convertible, 76K, no rust, garaged. Lovely machine.
