1989 Pontiac Firebird v 305 TBI engine with an automatic trans NO RESERVE PRICE This car used to belong to my stepfather before he passed.. When I got it the engine had a loud knock in it so I replaced the engine with a brand new crate motor from napa. I also replaced much of the suspension, seals, headliner ,4th generation seats, brakes and tires. I also put a VR3 Sound system with a 10' Sub in the back and new speakers all around (see pictures) Every spring a local mechanic has gone over it and replaced anything from wires that were fraying to new battery terminals and any other minor repairs making sure it was in tip top shape for the summer. This is an older used car so it will be sold as is, However, The car runs and drives great. A Solid car. There are a few signs of rust and a small ding near the front of the car (see pictures), the T-tops leak if it's hit with high pressure from say a car wash pressure washer , Rain and hand washing does not seem affect it. There are cracks in the paint near the hood scoops, A friend of mine molded them in and it didn't work out so well, I've thought about wrapping it in car vinyl. Only mechanical issues I've had with the car is in the city with lots of stop and go traffic the engine gets a little hot, I've never had it over heat but it has gotten hotter then I'd like. I believe part of the reason is because the radiator hand isn't hooked up, it was hooked up to run constantly but with that and two amps running it drew too much from the battery. The air dam keeps the engine nice and cool while cruising are riding around town. Rarely when being driven for extended periods of time the check engine light will come on, however, it never gives any error codes and has always passed NY state inspection as the light always goes back out once you turn off and restart the car. Finally the flip up headlights do work. They flip up perfectly fine, however when you go to lower them you have to adjust your finger to the bottom corner of the button and hold pressure for a little bit for them to go back down. Once used to it, this is no problem. I highly encourage you to come see the car if you're interested. It's too hard to describe with words. This car is a bit of a special car as in it's a Pro-Am. There is not a whole lot of info on these pro-ams but from what i've been able to piece together: Pro-ams were a factory deal with a specific dealer in Ohio and Chattanooga cutsoms (now Choo-Choo Customs) some minor body alterations were done to a formula model firebird, such as, the two tone paint job, The spoiler, The nose is of the newer 90s Model and there is faux woodwork in the interior. There may be a few other alterations that i'm not aware of. My buddy swears there is a shift kit in it but I don't believe they did anything mechanical. My reasons for listing this are pretty simple.. My wife and I are moving to a college town soon where we'll be finishing up our education and start a family. As such taking along a 3rd car that gets used in the summer only is going to be a hassle. Right now I keep it parked next door in the American Legion parking lot and store it either at the inlaws or one of my parents in the winter. This car has been a lot of fun and I will miss it very much, but the time has come to let her go. Again while this car currently runs and drives just fine (I take it out and to and from work when it's nice outside) I give no warranty or guarantees, implied or otherwise, This car is sold AS IS. So come check it out!
