Vehicle Detail

Up for auction is my 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350. I have owned this car since 1979 but it has been sitting waiting to be restored for several years because ex-husband cracked the block in the original motor. I have the build sheets and window sticker from the Pontiac Historic Society picture below that will, hopefully, answer most questions you may have. Two years ago we began stripping out the old interior to see just how much work was needed to begin the restoration process. After removing al the old carpeting, sound barrier, seats, etc., I took photos to a local classic car restoration center and they said the only major items it appeared to need were trunk and floor pans and some work around the front windshield pillar posts as everything else seems to be surface rust. The paint job that can still be seen in the photos is the original paint job including the black stripes which were added at the original dealer (Porter Pontiac in Lebanon, TN) thus making this car, essentially, a one-of-kind. I have managed to locate and purchase a set of the OEM gold reflective stickers that you see down the sides of the car. Here is a list of the items that will go with the car that are not pictured: Front & Rear seats (Gold Hobnail from a 78 Trans Am) Steering Wheel, horn and horn contacts (from a 78 Trans Am) New ignition switch and door locks New Carpets Engine and Transmission from a late '71 Firebird (complete) New FelPro Gasket Set for engine 4-Barrel Rochester Quadrajet Carb (rebuilt) 4-Barrel Pontiac Intake (reconditioned) Gauges from a '72 Trans Am Wiring Harness from a '72 Trans Am Door Sill Plates Roof Drip Rails All window trim chrome Deluxe Window Sweeps Passenger Side Headlight Bezel Wood Grained Dash Bezel from a '72 Formula Rear Spoiler Ends (both sides) Trunk Lid (primed) from a '71 Firebird OEM Gold Side relective stripes/stickers - both sides Extra Rear Axle (complete) Rally Wheel Trim Rings and Center Caps Headlight and Wiper Switch Here is a list of the shop/service manuals, brochures and other paperwork that will also be included in the sale: Pontiac 1972 Service Manual (2 of them) 1972 Fisher Body Service Manual Childon Repair & Tune-up Guide (manual) - Firebird 1967 - 1981 Haynes Pontiac Firebird 1970 - 1981 Classic Muscle Car Illustrated Restoratio Guides - Trans Am and Firebird Formula 1970 - 1981 Pontiac Accessories Brochure 1972 1972 Pontiac Buyers Guide brochure Pontiac Historic Services documentation Original Window sticker (reprint from Pontiac Historic Services) Original Owners manuals Other than the items in the two lists above, what you see is what you get. Car and all other items must be picked up 12 miles east of Nashville, TN at buyer's expense. Tires hold air so car can be trailered but it's going to take some really stong fellas or the equipment to lift and load the engine and transmission. Both are easily accessible for a truck and/or trailer. There will be no rush to pick up the car as it is currently siting on private land, HOWEVER, payment is due within within 5 days of auction's end via paypal, certified check (which will need to clear before care is released) or cash. Clear title is in hand. Ask any questions prior to bidding please as all sales are FINAL.On Jun-13-14 at 02:58:20 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple of people have asked questions about the frame rails and AS FAR AS I KNOW, they are just surface rusted. The car was NEVER parked overnight with road salt on it while I owned it (and I bought it in 1979). Also, the original seats seen in the photos were removed and trashed when we got started on the restoration process which is why I found and purchased the gold hobnail seats from a 1978 Trans Am to replace them with. Any other questions, please ask.
