*PRICE DROP* Black Pontiac Formula Full Bolt-Ons+Suspension!!! Year: 1998
Make: Pontiac
Model: Firebird
Price: $9000
Mileage: 77000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): FL
Color: Black
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
LS Engine?: Car has LS engine
I saw basically the same car as this sell for $10,500 a few weeks ago. Only differences were that it had stock cloth interior (I have black leather Trans Am seats in front and back; front driver's seat has a tear around 2 inches on the side of it), it had over 100k miles (30k more than mine), but it did have a mild cam+tune. If really interested I may be able to get a deal on a tune for the buyer, or even get it tuned before the deal is made.
I estimate the car would run mid-to-low 12's in the 1/4 mile with drag radials (has street tires on now). It has basically full suspension upgrades on top of the bolt-ons and built tranny (except for SFCs) so it handles like a Ferrari.
Cash price is dropped to $9,000 now. SOMEONE COME GET IT! I live in South Florida but would be willing to drive almost anywhere for the right deal. If you have any questions PM or email ktrainhurricane@yahoo.com. Can also text (954)649-3855 but if you call I probably wont be able to answer, so leave a voice message if you do.

also change oil every 3k miles with Mobile 1 5w30, but I just switched to Penzoil Platinum last change after hearing bad things about Mobile and reviews by Patman. Did oil+filter change ~500 miles ago. Also changed wiper blades, installed LED Fog Lights and DRLs, and have EL-12 flasher so the bulbs dont speed up or burn on when using turn signals. LED interior lights on the dome and in the mirror (map lights). Car has 20% tint all the way around and is warranteed for life (obviously only applies if you live down here in Florida). ICE COLD a/c that works perfectly. Passenger window motor only works when car is "warmed up" (common problem we all know about) but I have the AutoTrix hardwire kit that connects it directly to the battery, just havent had time to install it yet.

I bought this car specifically to be a daily driver (was coming out of a Turbo Buick that got ~15 mpgs) and its served extremely well at 28mpg. Yes, I am actually getting the full advertised mileage - i make the same trips every day and it uses almost exactly half the amount of gas my Buick did!

PRICE DROP $10,500 - been getting interest but not the right deal yet.
Possibly swapping the TT2 rims with a buddy of mine sometime this week for mint Budnik Cobalts with custom backspacing! Also supposed to have the EGR and O2s tuned out by Erik at Lashway Motorsports, along with plug+wire change. Might have him do a mild performance tune as well...

Budnik deal fell through, but the car is currently at Lashway Motorsports getting checked out - dont know if it's gonna be getting a performance tune or not, but at the least I'm gonna have the EGR and O2s tuned out.

The local deal i've been "waiting for" has just come up, so if someone can BRING ME $9,000 THE CAR IS YOURS!!!
...obviously has to be before this thing gets sold and if that happens price will be back up to $10,500 - this doesnt mean that I will be willing to take $9k after this car is sold either. Instead it simply means that there is a guy locally selling his car for less than what's its worth, and since that is the case I am willing to let mine go for less than what it's worth in order to buy it. Thanks!
