No reserve! Up for auction is a newly restored 1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit; this is a replica of the famed car that James Garner aka Jim Rockford tooled around in on his TV show "The Rockford Files" from 1974 -1980. Has lots of newly restored features and runs beautifully. The car sports the correct ’74 Denver Gold coloring with all stock chome and correct bodyline molding and emblems. All of the quarters have been replaced with new sheetmetal and are solid. New front rubber filler panel and new chrome wheel trim all around. The car has newer springs and all new suspension with brake pads & springs. E-brake holds well. Has the normal nicks and scuffs of a good driver car. The interior is the stock deluxe style bucket seats and Esprit package upgrades. The interior is all original -all features are stock and function well except for the radio- can’t get it to work; The only two items cosmetically it needs yet are headliner and the small plastic caps for the door pulls- that’s it. The original vinyl seats are in great shape with only one minor sun fading and a very small tear. Has rare power windows and they both work well! Has AC but it doesn’t blow cold so it probably needs a recharge- heater works well and blower motor works as it should. All lights and signals function properly. The Goodyear tires are newer with the correct whitewalls on original GM Rally wheels with chome rings and caps. Has the dual exhaust on the 350 motor which starts reliably and runs perfectly- she’ll cruise comfortably at 60+ mph with little effort. At 40mph the motor is very quiet and sounds tight. Recently had the radiator replaced, new hoses and other wear and tear items as well. Zero rust and even the trunk is solid with original carpeting, jack, handle and original spare tire- comes with original book as well. These are very hard models to find in this pristine of stock shape.
