NO RESERVE - Classic 1997 Firebird Formula 5.7 V8 Convertible 112k, LT1 5.7 V8, the Firebird Formula model has the powerful Corvette drivetrain. Options include power top, power windows, a/c, cruise, tilt, heated seats, steering wheel radio control, traction control, driver and passenger airbags, color matched honeycomb wheels as well as color matched "Trans Am" bird on hood. Mechanical: Performance upgrades include a B&M shift kit which shifts at a higher point when laying on the gas for more throttle response, shifts evenly when accelerating normally; it extends the life of the transmission as well. It's got a full Flowmaster exhaust with a nice low growl, newer sport shocks and struts all around, performance polyurethane bushings all around (all front end and connectors as well as all rear suspension bushings for trailing arm, etc) and a K&N cold air intake (original air box included). Recent work includes new water pump, hoses, belts and a full tuneup including wires, plugs and a $200+ module controlled distributor cap (tune ups are a lot of labor on these cars), new semi metallic brakes and new rotors and a new transmission mount. Wheels have aggressive new rubber with about 2000 miles on them. Easily the most "fun" car I've ever had, it's got the horsepower of the classic muscle car with all the modern technology and amenities of a modern car. With the four speed overdrive transmission the car will get 26-28mpg on the highway, even with the air conditioning on. Everything works perfectly, ice cold a/c, cruise control, power windows and top, rear defrost and the traction control. Cosmetic: the car is in overall good to very good condition overall. The front seats had some cracks in the leather and I had cushioned "Euro" style leather seat covers installed along with heated seats with high and low settings. Some small areas of sun cracking on the dash and the little rear seats have seams that are beginning to open. The paint is good, still glosses up well when polished with no fading or clearcoat issues. The top is in good shape along with the inside top liner, when top and windows are up it's nice and quiet inside even at highway speed. The door panels and rear panels are in good shape. It can be driven as a top down sports car or you can put the top up and treat it as a dependable, practical, "real" car, we've had a baby seat in the back and it fits perfectly. The Firebird has always had regular maintenance. Always garaged, it's clean underneath, floors and trunk completely solid, does not even show surface rust. Insured for $18k with Classic Insurance, premium is $176 a year, full comprehensive. It drives overall like a modern American muscle car should and always gets compliments and "thumbs up". I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Firebird is for sale locally and I'm willing to accept reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Rare Firebird Formula convertible which will only appreciate in value.
