Sport Gold Metallic Formula Possibly FS I really do not want to sell this car except for the fact I have found my dream fbody on this site , so that being said this will be avaliable as long as the other car is, if the other car sells first this will be deleted
Details-
LS1 for those of you who arent familiar with Formulas
1998 Sport Gold Metallic Firebird Formula, 1 of 60 made in this color (1998 only color)
Car is a late 1997 production car
The car has 75,xxx miles on it
Clean car fax, Clean title, no accidents , no body work, no paint work, no rust, no dents, no dings, the front plate cover is the factory gold one that the previous owner had painted black (I wouldnt have!)
Paint is about a solid 8.5 on a scale of 10, very minor imperfections, front bumper has 2 spots about the size of a dime where the clear coat has peeled, otherwise it shines like new, the car does NOT have sail panel bubbles like alot of fbodies do
Car is an A4, 2.73 (working posi) grey cloth interior (had seat covers since new, seats are near perfect), rest of interior is near mint, no flaws to note, new tires front and rear, very dark (5% I think) tint both side windows and rear window, very nice shape, no bubbling or peeling
Options- T-tops (w t-top covers), traction control, pwr drivers seat, single cd Monsoon, pwr mirrors, pwr windows, rear defrost
Mods- (All emissions including EGR are untouched), SLP lid, 160 hypertech stat (new water pump), MAC y pipe with high flow cats, Hooker aerochamber exhaust, 3500 Yank stall, tranny is a stage 2 rebuild with a shift kit and has aprox 15k on rebuild
Car has been to the track maybe 4 times -
Ran a 12.7 @ 111mph with the current mods
Since I have had the car I have-
Replaced both front door speakers and both b pillar speakers with correct Monsoon speakers (old ones were blown in the front and aftermarket replacement in the rear) in proper working order, obtained a nice shape drivers door panel and installed it (old one was cracked), replaced power window switches (both windows functioning perfectly), replaced door handle bezel (old one cracked), replaced pwr antenna motor (old one broke), replaced tail light center section with a new GM piece (old ones logo was faded), it has a new GM piece it is not a cheap sticker, replacement MAF (old one was descreened) I detailed the car from top to bottom with the exception of underhood, a bunch of minor details, bulbs, keyless fob, wiper blades ect ect I purchased a new O2 sensor for it but have not installed it yet, it is throwing a SES for drivers side bank, it also comes with 6 quarts of Pennzoil Platnium and a K&N filter (was waiting for spring to change)
The car runs and drives nice, it idles smoothly and has a nice rumble to the exhaust that is not overbearing, good oil pressure, does not overheat, Headlight motors work perfectly with no weird noises, ect ect , the car is currently off the road for winter and has not seen salt/is stored indoors
If it does not sell quickly I am keeping it and doing heads/cam over the summer
Asking $7,000 firm and is located 20 miles south of Buffalo NY
NOTE PICS WERE TAKEN BEFORE I DETAILED IT, TOO MUCH SNOW ON THE GROUND NOW TO GET IT OUT AND TAKE CURRENT PICS, ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE SIDE MOLDING IS NOW DELETED BUT WILL COME WITH CAR IF THE BUYER DESIRES

Looks and sounds like a nice car.. and rare.. Why wouldn't you just hold on to it and slowly mod it?
IMHO I would reverse the plate filler paint scheme, gold out the rear center tail light panel emblems, get a WS6 hood or superhawk and throw some black blackbird stripes on it.. Then it'd look sick

It also has a new battery and serpentine belt
I am the 3rd owner of the car and it was kept garaged by the first owner and under a car port by the second, its from an area where road salt/excessive snow is not a concern
Theres tons of room to pick up HP cheaply, it has all emissions still, air pump, cats, egr ect, the pcm is running a stock tune, the track passes were on street tires and it had a 2.0 60' time ect ect
It should be pretty easy with a few free mods and sticky tires to click off a low 12 second pass
Like I said I dont really want to sell it but I would love to pick up the Purple Formula in IL but I need to sell this one to make that a possibility
If I keep it, its getting heads/cam/headers/supporting mods/ws6 hood and I will probably remove the front filler plate and replace it with a clear one since here in NY we are required to have front plates

I picked this car up back in December for a good price but I also spent $600+ to have it transported from Deleware/Maryland to here and have since put aprox another $800 into it, the stall was added by previous owner and has the same amount of miles on it that the tranny rebuild does
