1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula
1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6
The car has served me well over the past eight years and had been a great daily driver. A month after I purchased the car I entered it in the Carlisle GM Nationals where it won first place in 78-02 Pontiac Firebirds. Shortly after that it won an award for best wheels at the NJFBOA nationals. The car was a 305TPI/700R4/2.73 Posi car that I had professionally converted to a manual transmission (WC T-5). The car currently has 98XXX miles on it. If you have been to the Carlisle GM nationals the last eight years you have seen this car. It also was entered in many shows local to Philadelphia PA.
