1995 Firebird Formula Year: 1995
Make: Pontiac
Model: Firebird
Price: $1999
Mileage: 100635
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): PA
Color: Green
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
Currently runs and drives, but ticks. Tires are all good, ~60-70% tread. Interior complete, although seats are a tad dirty, but will clean up. Dash is not cracked, and paint is 7.5, maybe 8 out of 10. (paint is peeling on driver's side door sill) Car is bone stock. New radiator last year, and had new head gaskets replaced by GM 2 years ago. Does need rear hatch struts.
Edit: New Battery 2 months ago.
I was quoted around $4,000 for a complete rebuild, and I just don't have the cash right now to do it. Car has major sentimental value, but sentiments don't pay the bills these days.
Pics are in my profile, but will update them when I get the car back from the shop.

Looking for around $2K for the car - it's complete, does run and only has 100K miles on it. I'm in NW PA.

edit: Also have the original t-top shade inserts, owners manual and remote key less entry fob.
Will take and post pics upon request.
I've received many inquires as to whether car would make it to various locations. It's my opinion that if babied, it would make it if the destination wasn't more than an hour or two away, but you risk damage to the crank and more by driving it. The inspection lapsed at the end of may, so driving it without one is a risk that would fall upon anyone that wanted to drive it. (The only reason I haven't had it re-inspected is the cost of towing, inspection and return tow). I'm not going to put any more money into the car. It's listed as needing work, and the only thing I can think of it might need for inspection is the front rotors turned from sitting. It passed inspection last year with minimal effort.
The bearing hasn't spun yet, and could possibly be repaired. Oil pressure is where it's supposed to be, and it doesn't consume/burn oil.
The car hasn't been driven since the tic started, and its very likely that there is no internal damage resulting from it.
Edit: added movie showing oil pressure and dash. No engine warning lights come on. Also movie showing pop up headlights. They work, but passenger headlight chatters.

morning bump
edit: Just pulled oil filter and drained the oil. Nothing in the oil or filter aside from the oil, i.e. no metal or other foreign particles.
