My 93 Firebird Formula.

JC316 · 03-02-2012, 07:37 PM

Ok, so here it is. I have done nothing to this car except take it off from the trailer. It runs and drives, but it needs a master/slave cylinder for the transmission. The clutch engages on it's own 2 seconds after pushing the clutch pedal in. Driveable, but annoying. It also has a mystery coolant leak that I am going to have to track down. In serious need of a wash/buff/wax and/or a new clear coat shot on it. Has some interior crap that needs fixing, but it's overall in good shape. Brand new tires. New clutch as well. Has 127K miles on it. The seats have both power bolsters and power lumbar, I especially like the power bolster because I have a tendency to slide on leather.

Only has a few mods. Some mufflers, a strut tower brace, a K&N filter, and a short throw shifter. Currently into it for $1700.

Looks quite nice. Congrats!

Thanks. I practically stole it at $1700 considering the T56 transmission alone is worth $1500. The guy just didn't need her anymore, had kids and wanted it to go to someone that would take care of it.

Here is an exhaust video of it. Not quite as raspy as I would like, but it does have it's charms.

Lol, I had been scouring my local craigslist, ebay, and autotrader looking at every sports car out there for a sold month before I found it. Then I made fairly lowball offer and got lucky.

Been putting my SC back together, so not much progress on it, but I do have some. Put in a new radio, glued the shift boot back down, and cleaned the interior.
