UPDATED INFO ON POST 24

Up for sale is my 1999 Pontiac Firebird Formula. The car has 136,xxx miles on it and is originally from Georgia. It’s a 6-speed car with T-Tops , Charcoal Leather interior, power windows, locks and the AC has been removed. I bought the car as a project this past February and have put countless hours and money to get it to where it is today. It pains me to have to sell the car but sometimes life gets in the way. I have less than 1000 miles on the car since I’ve owned it.

Paint:
The car was prepped and painted by Kolorcraft Autobody and Marine here in Syracuse, NY. It was previously painted black. The color is a 2003 ford color-Dark Shadow Grey Metallic with a lighter black tint. It also has darker grey shadowing in the hood vents, fog light areas and vents on the side(See PICS) The Superhawk hood alone had 8 hours of prep before it was painted as it was still in gel coat when purchased. All of the door jams and hatch sills were painted and cleared as well. The engine bay was painted flat black to match the underside of the hood. It has not been washed since it was painted and has been quick detailed after each time it’s been driven.

Motor-
About three months ago, the oil pump failed and I ended up spinning a main bearing. The motor came out and was completely redone at TBR Machine. It currently has about 500 miles on it since the rebuild and runs great. It was street tuned by a local guy with HP Tuners. It makes great power all the way through the power band. I had it on a local dyno that reads about 35-40 rwhp high and it made 459/382 on motor and on a 150 shot with 4 degrees taken out it did 620/609.

Updated from Post 24

-I also replaced the tailights with very low mileage lights that are in perfect condition.

-Replaced both Rear Hatch Shocks and that works perfect now.

-Replaced the upper center console with a gray unit with a decent ashtray lid. The nitrous switches have been relocated to underneither and now has the cubby hole.

-Replaced the plugs with new NGK-Br7EF's

-Did black overlays on the FORMULA and front bird on the car.

Issues-

-The car still does have a very small leak at the rear plate/oil pan.


-The rear end is whining on accel at 30+ speeds. It was very quiet when it was done but after a few thrashing passes, it got loud. That will need some attention. I've put close to 1000 miles in it's current state and it should be fine.

The car is located in Syracuse NY. I’m looking for 9,500. Thanks.

How does the car idle? Street manners etc.? very intrested . Do you think you can get some interior pics or a walk around video?

It's idles decent for a big cam car. There is a little cam surge when slowing under 1700 rpms. With the 4.10 gear and a 6 speed, it's setup well for the power band but still cruises nice in 6th gear at 75. Here is a walk around video of the car before the tune(SES Light), tint and prostars from my iphone(not great quaility). I will get some interior pics either today or tomorrow.

The rear seatbelts have been removed(Holes in the Sail Panels). And no, I never got it to the track. Should be a solid high 11(motor), high 10(nitrous) car.
