Its an 86 firebird with a 2.8 v6 and 700r4 automatic. I bought it from a friend for $600 including a tow and new fuel pump in the box. Since then, I've done A LOT of work to it. It currently has 140k miles, and runs pretty good. It's my g/f's car that I bought for her, and shes looking to upgrade
-New front Calipers
-New front brake pads
-Junk yard fuel injectors-old ones were plugged
-New injector o-rings
-Junk yard center console
-Junk yard shifter, the old one was mangled
-New Fuel pump and strainer
-Repaired the fuel level sending unit, it was gunked up
-Fairly new fuel filter (about a year old)
-New headlight relays
-New poly sway bar end links front and back
-New Bosch O2 sensor
-Paint was non-existent when I bought it, so I did a quickie paint job that isn't professional, but a heck of a lot better than what it had
-New outter window seals-theyre like $80 a set, so I didn't do the inside ones
-The car got hit by a 3/4 ton truck while it was parked, and since its my girlfriend's car I patched the door with some bondo and it doesn't look 100%, but its way better than it was. It really needs a new door which I'm in the process of finding one.
-Many vacuum lines replaced
-No check engine light
-Firm brake pedal
-Decent running engine
-About 20-25 mpg
-New e-brake cable for the drivers side-the old one was frozen and wouldnt release
-The dash pad was cracked so I covered it with some fabric I had.
-I covered the rear speaker panels with the same fabric since they were pretty rough
-New windshield washer pump
-I added the center console light for when you open the glove box, since it didn't have one-looks factory
-Aftermarket cd player, has a 12" alpine type e sub, but i'm sure my girlfriend will want to keep it for her next car, but the wiring will stay for an amplifyer. It has 4 gauge cable, and I tried to do a very clean installation. Not a crappy job like what you see sometimes
-I've had it for only about 10k miles, but it has had the oil changed every 3k. I use castrol GTX 10w30 and Fram tough guard oil filters
-Car has T-Tops
-Car burns NO oil, does not smoke.
I'm asking $1500 for the car
This car would be an excellent beginner sports car for a student. Its fairly good on gas, handles excellent, and affordable. My girlfriend is a student and works 2 days a week, and is able to afford insurance and gas on the car. I do all the maintenence on the car. any questions, feel free to PM me. I have more pictures, I should post them up soon. Any requests, feel free to ask. I do have access to a lift, so I can show a potential buyer what it looks like underneath if desired. Its pretty much rust free though.
This is how it looks today

Heres the drivers side as it sits today. I can't take better quality pictures at the moment because my camera is messed up, and I pretty much need a new one.
I forgot to add also I just changed the fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pump wiring, and fuel strainer again, the one I did last year was making a lot of noise. This one is much more quiet.
whats your bottom dollar for the car with the new seats in it? are the old seats in bad shape since it seems like the price would be cheaper with them?
