Default 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6

1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6

I bought this car with 87000 miles on it three years ago. I bought the car with the intentions of redoing the car as my ideal thirdgen f-body and using it as a daily driver. I’ve always been a fan of 82-92 f bodies and also have a Camaro at the time that I am rebuilding. The car has served me well over the past three years and been a great daily driver. A month after I purchased the car I entered it in the Carlisle GM Nationals where it won first place in 78-02 Pontiac Firebirds. Shortly after that it won an award for best wheels at the NJFBOA nationals. The car was a 305TPI/700R4/2.73 Posi car that I had professionally converted to a manual transmission (WC T-5). All the factory braces were welded in from a donor car (firewall and transmission tunnel) to make it look factory and be safe. I’m selling the car because I purchased a new car for a daily driver; the car currently has 97XXX miles on it.

Please pm the location of the car. I will be buying soon. Would like another LS1. Second choice is LT1. Then L98. Your car is really sharp and looks just like an 87 I had with a trick-flow headed mild 350 in it. Might be tough to pay that much for the slowest F-body I would have owned that needs a headliner and an engine. My last bird was a 98 with a freshly built and cammed LS1 that put 365 to the rears. But let me know what you best price is and maybe I could swing the bucks to transplant a 6 liter. Do you have pics of the interior?

The car is located in Philadelphia PA, I thought it was under my name on the left sorry about that. I'm pretty firm on the price, it doesn't need an engine the car runs flawlessly as is. I can get more pictures of the interior tomorrow I keep the car in storage right now.
