I've got a 1979 pontiac firebird project. a previous owner turned it into an early 70's formula clone..sort of?.. The body is decent, whoever did the bodywork did a halfway decent job of it. the engine compartment has been cleaned up and painted..also a halfway decent job. The carpet is nice, inner door, and interior panels are fair. The racing buckets are included in the auction. The trunk pan is rusted pretty bad, someone cut half of it out and mounted a plastic fuel cell in there, the floors..are so-so I poked my head under and looked, I did see surface rust, but no big rotten holes . I would assume they need replacing if you're doing a restoration..but they are passable, or patchable enough for a drag car, or rat rod type project. The subframes seem pretty solidly attached to the floors still. The nose is probably the most valuable part of the car, and is in fair condition, however..the formula hood...some clown cut a 14" hole in the center of it. It looks like it would be centered right for a tall aircleaner to stick up through..if thats your thing.. the hood also doesn't match the fenders exactly..it needs to be a 3/4 to an inch longer for proper body lines. It has factory aluminum snowflake mags, but the tires are garbage. they'll hold air long enough for you to load it, and move it around. the car rolls, and steers fine, but has absolutely no brakes. inside the trunk are most of the body pieces, spoilers, grills, fender vents, and flares. along with some of the window trim. no motor, or tranny. The instrument panel is missing, along with the console, there is a pretty rough looking aftermarket shifter in the car though. You'll need a new windshield, but the rest of the glass is good. She's almost a basket case as far as full restoration possibilities, but this would be cheap and easy to go drag racing. Or just making noise cruising the streets. There's a Holley electric fuel pump mounted under the trunk..no Idea whether it's any good or not..consider it a bonus if it works..lol I'm setting the reserve real low on this. And shipping is full responsibility of THE BUYER. I will help air up the tires, and move the car to a wide open area for easy pickup. Bring a winch or help to push it onto your trailer. $200 deposit due at end of auction PAYPAL ONLY, Full payment within 10 days. payment can be paypal, cash, or GOOD CHECK. if you pay with a check, i'll hold the title until the check clears. On Oct-14-13 at 14:39:45 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention in the original listing..ALL OF THE TRIM (grills, spoilers, vents, and window trim) is PAINTED METALLIC PURPLE. You can see that in the trunk pic..but I just wanted to make it clear in case potential buyers missed it. It could be a deal breaker, which is totally understandable. But now ya know. thanks for looking, and good luck bidding
