Default 89 Formula Parting Out

Parting out a complete 89 firebird formula.

Was ran into in the rear when parked by idiot theifs in a get-away truck who couldnt drive. Motor and transmission are still in perfect running/working condition and the vehicle still runs and dog-walks when driven. One wheel is broken and not use-able anymore.

We've been ripped off! No pics of the interior! That is a beautiful color by the way, I wish the wing would have been the swept back wing and in tact. Anyway of getting a few interior pics soon?

You got a deal, just fix the body up and make sure the air conditioning works. You'd come out like a bandit and I would be getting rid of one of 4 money pits.

......and clean the engine bay a little bit too! lol , I"m sorry, that was rude of me to say that. Forgive me, I've been downing a few buttery nipples at work now.


edit. just read what you said about engine bay cleaned up a bit.

LMAO Forget the body work. And the AC does work still, lmao. Its the 134a though now. R12 was too expensive.

How about a cash/car trade?
