This is a 1998 Firebird Formula hardtop A4, and it has a little over 91,000 miles on it. It is one of 26 Bright Purple Metallic Formulas built.

Stock features: Power Windows / mirrors / locks, Pewter Cloth interior.

I bought it in 2003 with 76K on the odometer, and it was really dirty, a little beat up and completely stock, except for the Raptor hood. I had the paint completely redone in 2005, and took extra care to make sure it was not only done right, but that the result was slightly better than stock. I had them put on extra coats and leave less orange peel so the paint was a lot shinier than stock. It seriously looks amazing when it's all detailed up.

Here's pictures of the process of restoring the body.

The engine is still the one it shipped with, 100% bone stock, complete with the original LS1 intake, and I've not cracked a single bolt on it. The car has been raced (12.676 @ 108.5 is the best pass, untuned), but also been well maintained. No nitrous or power adders have ever been used on it.

The car overall is in outstanding condition and could be shown pretty easily without any real reconditioning. It's not completely flawless, there are some rock chips in the paint, but for an 8 year old paint job it still looks amazing. The car has been garaged for the past 12 years. Seat upholstery / interior is in excellent shape. Runs like the day it rolled off the show room, doesn't leak, and always starts up on the first try. Been running Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it since I bought it. Tires have approximately 3000 miles on them.

Over the past year I have replaced most of the A/C system including the compressor, both power window motors, the Monsoon head, both sail panel subwoofers, headlight motor actuator, fuel pump, serpentine belt and tensioner, shocks and springs.

What's broken (that I know of): Power antenna doesn't work, and I think the driver's door speaker is going. Everything else is in perfect working condition to the best of my knowledge.

Mods:

Induction / Exhaust: Suncoast Creations "Raptor" Hood, carbon-fiber intake lid w/chrome "screaming chicken" overlay, SLP smooth intake bellow, EGR/AIR delete, ceramic coated Kooks 1-3/4" stainless steel long tube headers and catted y-pipe, polished GMMG chambered exhaust.

Suspension: LG Motorsports adjustable PHB, LG Motorsports non-adjustable LCAs, SLP Bilstein shocks, Strano springs, BMR LCA relocation brackets, BMR sway bars (front & rear), Spohn driveshaft safety loop, Powerslot brake rotors.

Drivetrain: Yank SS3200 torque converter, B&M Supercooler transmission cooler, GM 3.42 gears, Eaton posi differential, TA Performance differential cover & stud kit

Wheels & Tires: 19x8.5 (front) & 19x9.5 (rear) RPM 505 wheels, 245/35-ZR19 (front) & 275/30-ZR19 (rear) Nitto 555 Extreme tires, with about 3000 miles on them.

Misc: Deleted emblems, SLP cooling fan switch, wire delete mod.

To whomever is the future owner of this car:

I hate you.

GLWS. This thing is gorgeous, would love to have it, but the timing isn't right with my current build.

I can tell you this...if this car wasn't on the other side of the country I would own it! GLWS!!!

It would not be the first time I shipped a car across country. I sold my purple WS6 to a user off this site, and I shipped it to South Carolina. It could happen if you wanted it to.

That would be cost prohibitive for me...but had it been a purple WS6 I would have to do it...that's the only special 4th gen I haven't owned and a biggie on my bucket list.

There is a pending sale on the vehicle at the moment. I will know over the next couple of days whether it's going to go through, but it's looking pretty good at the moment.

Oh, and if the sale goes through, it looks like it will be returning to the state it was originally sold in (Texas).
