Check out my almost BRAND NEW 1982 Firebird S/E!!NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW THEM!

I just finished the deal on this '82. It only has 18,000 miles and has never been driven in the rain or snow. It has absolutly has zero mods. It's also got the original tires, belts, hoses etc.!! It is a W69 - S/E, with the LG4 305, auto, performance suspension Aero package, deck lid release, pw, pl etc. It's pretty nice. Let me know what you think!

The reason I deisided to purchase his car is because my 83 S/E (in the sig) has 268,000 on the clock and needs a new motor, trans, headliner, and has a big rust hole in the firewall !! I am still going to fix it and keep it though because I have had it since brand new. Let me know what you think!<B>SEE THE REAL PICS AT THE BOTTOM</B>

Damn , looks like you went back in time and stole it!!

Looks great., I found mine in a chicken house with 80,000 miles on a 82 camaro, but it didn't look like that.

Wow! That is CLEAN! Are you gonna keep it stock? If not, what do you have planned? Hopefully some rims if anything. Nice car!

Thanks for the compliaments! For this one I paid $5200. I think that is a fairly resonable price for a car as Mint as this. I am not sure what mods I am going to do, any suggestions? I never really liked those rims with the covers but I think they will have to do for while.

Very nice. I love low mileage, unrestored originals!

I hope you don't mind me hosting your pic, I just thought everybody would like to see your "new" car.

Nice!

Congratulations! That car is a beauty. I would suggest no mods, I think its perfect as is. Why not have fun building up your 83?
I actually like the stock wheels But if you must switch I would go for some N24's (similar to the ones in your sig. pic).

Best of luck with it, and enjoy

nice car, reminds me of my old 82 trans am, only yours is nice, I love those wheel covers. kinda looks like vette wheels from the mid 80's. I gotta admitt I wish I bought an 82-84 instead of my 87, I just love the ballsier look with the front grills and no ground effects, good luck chief.

Yes, if I were to change the wheels I would go with the N24's. Those are my favorite wheels for 82-84. But hese ones are neat beacuse I have never seen brushed stainless ones like this before.
Cheers!

Looks good and congradulations on your find. I found my 91 formula WS6 5-speed on autotrader.com. A guy in Michigan bought in new and didn't drive it much. It was his "summer car" and sat in his garage the rest of the time. It was completely stock and had 16,xxx miles when I bought it. Very nice car. Hope I get done with the tpi, exhaust, interior mods soon so I can drive it again.

Oh man, your were the lucky **** that bought that on ebay. Good luck with it, just don't use it as a daily drive, it worth to much. Remember to wax it with a cloth dipper.

If it was mine I wouldn't change a thing. Very 'clean' car. The old school dual muffler set-up classic--and hard to find.
