Vehicle Detail
1979 W50 Special Appearance Package, WS6 Special Performance Package, 4spd Formula Firebird with 43,655 miles on it currently (subject to change ), L37 4.9 Litre, 4bbl engine, Limited Slip Differential, 4-Wheel Disc Brakes, Custom Color Keyed Seatbelts, Rear Defroster, IP Tachometer & Gauges, Soft Ray Glass - All Windows, Additional Acoustical Insulation, Lamp Group, Front & Rear Floor Mats, Roof Drip Molding, Power Antenna, Power Door Locks, Radio Accommodation Package (Has Dealer Installed Pioneer 8-Track), Tilt Steering Wheel, Controlled Cycle Windshield Wipers, Custom Velour Interior Trim in Camel Tan Hobnail with Lombard Bolsters. Other than the tires, I don't believe this car has had anything changed since new. The interior is immaculate, everything works as it should including the lights & key buzzer. The car has NEVER been smoked in and the dash, headliner, rear package tray, glass, instrument panel, carpet, console, seats & door panels are all in EXCELLENT condition. The exhaust is original including the catalytic converter and transverse mounted muffler. The floors are rust free as is every other panel on the car and the paint is 100% GM Original. Space saver spare, inflator, jack & instructions are all in the trunk & show no signs of ever being used. There is also an additional matching single rim included should you choose to have a full size spare. Defects: It leaks a little oil - it wouldn't be a Pontiac if it didn't! There are a few small chips in the paint if you walk around the car as well as a couple very minor door dings in the front fender - to be expected. On the interior the front seat backs have a couple of scratches and there is some minor discoloration in the two rear side panels - I have matching interior dye if you chose to paint them. The front & rear windshield trim has lost it's original black paint and now has a brushed look to it except for the two rear side pieces which somehow retained their paint. This was a common problem back in the day - you can choose to refinish them or strip the two remaining pieces to match the roof drip moldings. The headliner is seperated from the backing around both of the shoulder belt mounting points - I have a replacement one if you choose to go that route or you can simply have this one re-done. The antenna drive belt is broken although the motor works fine. I have a rebuild kit and a full replacement antenna unit so you can chose which way you want to go with that. All items to be included with the purchase of the car. The car is an absolute blast to drive, very torquey, and will burn 1st, spin 2nd & grab third without much effort. It handles great, and is super comfortable inside with all temp/climate controls working properly. It drives great in the heat (had it out on CT's record breaking 103 degree day), and starts every time you turn the key - it also has a nice little shake when idling at stop lights. I have a clear Idaho title from the 2nd owner along with a notarized open bill of sale. I also have the warranty book and copies of the original order worksheets from the first owner who took delivery with 4 miles on the car and they both lived in the same town it was sold new in. Please feel free to make an honest offer on this car, however realize true low mileage survivor cars that wear all of their original body panels & paint, and have all of their original drive line components are the most sought after and valuable cars you can collect. You could not buy a decent car and have it restored to this level for twice the price of the BIN. If you do decide to purchase, a $2,000 deposit paid via PAYPAL or bank transfer must be completed within 48 hours of auction end. Balance to be paid within 7 days from auction end and prior to pick up. This vehicle is sold AS-IS and there are no express or implied warranties. If you would like to inspect this vehicle prior to placing a bid, please get in touch with me, I will be more than happy to make myself & the car available to you. Transportation can be arranged with any shipping company however I have had excellent experience with Reliable Carriers and would highly recommend them. I can also assist in delivery if you are within a day's drive but would need to charge for reasonable time & fuel costs – or you can just fly in, slap a plate on it and drive it home!
