Well, it did help that you raised your offer $1500

I will miss the car...she is a beauty. As soon as I get back on my feet, I'll have another stalled auto. God I miss my red 02 Z28 (PRC 5.3 heads/228r cam/Yank SS3600)

The original poster is actually my buddy. We became friends about 2 years ago after I sold him my V6 firebird you see in his sig. I can gurantee all of you that he will take better care of this car than anyone else I know! I loved my little 6 banger firebird but I am glad the OP bought it and takes wonderfull care of it. I even get to see it evey now and then. Enjoy the new bird david.

Sweet! Gald it worked out for you. I bought my car from the original owner. They (the couple who owned it) kept telling me no that they wouldn't sell it till I waved some green at them from the front door.

thanks everyone, just washed the car yesterday and will be spending most of the day removing stickers/overlays and completely detailing the interior and engine bay. Pics are soon to come

and Cody, you better get up to Fort Wayne this week so you can see the new Bird
