BARGAIN HUNTERS PLEASE READ. I BOUGHT IT CHEAP AND I'M SELLING IT CHEAP TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER WITH NO RESERVE.I INHERITED THIS FIREBIRD BY HELPING A GOOD FRIEND WHO WAS IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS. I'M A CHEVY GUY AND DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PONTIACS. I LIKE 'EM AND HAVE OWNED A FEW OLD BONNEVILLES SO IF THERE ARE ANY EXPERTS OUT THERE PLEASE HELP ME OUT IN IDENTIFYING THIS CAR....I DON'T KNOW MUCH. I WOULD ALSO WELCOME CORRECTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS IN MY DESCRIPTION.MY FRIEND WAS ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE THE CAR WHEN HE RAN OUT OF MONEY. HE GOT SCREWED ON THE PAINT JOB,IT IS HORRIBLE. LOOKS GOOD FROM 25' AND IT'S SHINY BUT THATS AS FAR AS IT GOES. I THINK THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THIS CAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIGH PERFORMANCE DUE TO THE FOUR SPEED, HOOD TACH ETC. I'M ONLY GUESSING, IT'S WHATEVER YOU THINK IT IS. I DISCOURAGE BIDDERS FROM PURCHASING FROM PICTURES,IT'S A BAD IDEA. PLEASE COME LOOK AT THE CAR OR SEND A KNOWLEDGEABLE INSPECTOR THAT YOU TRUST TO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU. I WILL DESCRIBE IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY BUT COME CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.THE TRIM TAG INFO READS AS FOLLOWS: 05E 682237LOR45355 TR 251 O-O PNT I'LL LIST THE BAD AND THEN I'LL GO WITH THE GOOD....I MENTIONED THE PAINT. IT COST $2000 AND IT'S AWFUL. THERE IS BONDO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR QUARTERS, AROUND THE BACK WINDOW AND A LITTLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ROCKERS JUST INSIDE THE DOOR. THE TRUNK PAN IS SHOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS SOME BONDO AT THE CORNER OF THE RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHT. THERE IS NO EXHAUST SYSTEM, IT IS OPEN HEADERS. THE DRIVERS FLOOR HAS A FEW HOLES BUT DOESN'T NEED A COMPLETE FLOOR LIKE THE TRUNK DOES.THE CARPET IS A QUESTION MARK,LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN REPLACED AND WILL PROBABLY CLEAN UP. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WORKS AND DOESN'T WORK AS FAR AS LIGHTS,GAUGES ETC.IT HAS THE WRONG ENGINE IN IT,THE ENGINE IS A CHEVY. THE CAR IS NOT A DRIVER BUT IT IS CLOSE. I THINK WITH EXHAUST,CARB OVERHAUL AND SOME TINKERING YOU COULD DRIVE IT. THE BRAKES WORK BUT THEY ARE LOW.THATS ALL I CAN THINK OF BUT THERE MAY BE MORE SO CHECK IT OUT PLEASE. THE GOOD: THE ENGINE SOUNDS GOOD, IT IS A SMALL BLOCK CHEVY, DOESN'T SMOKE OR KNOCK. PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD ME IT CAME OFF OF AN AIRBOAT IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT. THE TRANSMISSION IS A BORG WARNER ALUMINUM T10. PREVIOUS OWNER SAID IT'S ORIGINAL TO THE CAR BUT I WOULDN'T BET ON IT. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE AN ORIGINAL 4 SPEED CAR. THE SHIFTER IS NEW. THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE NICE AND IN GOOD SHAPE.3 OUT OF 4 FLOORBOARDS LOOK REAL GOOD AND THE SUB FRAMES LOOK EXCELLENT AS WELL.FIREWALL IS EXCELLENT.THE HEADERS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND I THINK THEY ARE STAINLESS STEEL. THE RADIATOR IS FRESH AND IT IS A HIGH DOLLAR ALUMINUM GRIFFIN. THERE IS A HOOD TACH, POWER STEERING AND FACTORY DISC BRAKES NEAR AS I CAN TELL. THE BUCKET SEATS LOOK GOOD, DASH PAD IS GOOD, DOOR PANELS AND HEADLINER LOOK GOOD. THE DASH LOOKS GOOD AND HAS A HOKEY STEREO HANGING OUT OF IT. THIS CAR IS AN UNFINISHED PROJECT,YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT HOME. I TRAVEL A GOOD BIT THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STATES SO I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH DELIVERY IF I'M GOING YOUR WAY. I'LL CHARGE FOR MY DIESEL FUEL AND SOME WEAR AND TEAR ON MY TRUCK BUT I WON'T TRY TO KILL YA ON THE PRICE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE $$$ TO PAY FOR IT PLEASE DON'T BID. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACKS, NEGATIVES OR BID RETRACTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT 772-201-1905 OR I MAY HAVE TO REJECT YOUR BID. I'VE BEEN SNAKEBIT BEFORE BY EBAY FLAKES, NO DISRESPECT INTENDED. I'LL TAKE JUST ABOUT ANY FORM OF PAYMENT INCLUDING PERSONAL CHECKS BUT EVERYTHING MUST CLEAR THE BANKS BEFORE I CAN RELEASE THE VEHICLE. WIRE TRANSFER ALWAYS WORKS BEST. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE CALL ME AT 772-201-1905 TILL 11PM EASTERN TIME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. GOD BLESS.On Jul-04-11 at 09:19:36 PDT, seller added the following information: NO RESERVE, THIS CAR IS POSITIVELY GOING TO THE HIGH BIDDER. THANKS, STEVE
