91 bird conv

Hello guys!! im new here and from KY,
as i was driving in the bunnies..lol.. i see this gem in the fields..
91 firebird formula.. I stop and ask if the car was for sale and they
told me yes.. it was a sitting there for a few year, cuz a bad fuel pump!
and the owner was in jail.. but they had a clean title.
the car is super solid, the interior is clean, few cosmetic flaw, never been
hit, the top needs help, i look under the car and it has stainless steal exaust from cat back. and flow masters...well i dont know if i did good but i paid 900$ for it...black interior, sound system in trunk.

Re: 91 bird conv

Good find! Great deal, but it's not a Formula. Sounds like it has a V8 though, which is good.

Re: 91 bird conv

WOW!! 900 BUCKS and you don't have to go to jail but you definately STOLE that car. GREAT FIND!! all due to a bad fuel pump. I owe several thousand to a couple of bolts falling out of the trans mount on my Iroc.
