I'm located in upstate south carolina near charlotte

I'm really looking for a good ls1 firebird, do you have any leads from around our area? I want to stay around this price range, lower if possible, would also like to find a 6spd. Any ideas?

I just checked my insurance rates and unfortunatly I think a trans-am is going to be too much, it's almost $200 more to insure the trans-am compared to the formula

not a bad price but it is a Trans Am. they labeled it wrong. the high rise spoiler gives it away. firebird formula's have a wing that has no space between the spoiler and the deck lid. sorry bout that, but keep looking one will pop up.

Went over to my boss's house and check it out some more, took it for a drive, I freaking love these cars.

Here are a few pics, hope they aren't too big. It's a little dirty because of the rain we've had, I've seen it spotless before and it really cleans up nice:




















Lots of aftermarket stuff on it, he estimates around 4k spent. KBB for this car is around $9.5k and he's wanting $10.5k. Does this sound right? He's a freak about his cars and has really taken good care of it, no abuse. It has around 95k miles on it though.

Really considering it, these cars are a blast.

not a bad looking car, but if you get one and get into modding just stay away from slp, consider this a fore warning, waht he has is alright (except that maf IMO) i just wont pay their high prices when there is a lot better stuff out there

anyway car does look good
