'88 Formula 350 near Chicago, $900
'88 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350
Car is in good shape but has been in storage for the past few years after my move to Western Iowa.
drivetrain is in good shape for its age, has about 180k on the clock and ran strong
There is an electrical problem somewhere I haven't tracked down yet preventing the ECM from getting power so it won't start. If I spray starting fluid it will turn over and run. Fuel pump primes and everything else is good. I can't track it down from here, it could be a $5 fix.....
The drivers side fender and front bumper were replaced and it looks like the passenger fender might need to as well.
The tires are no good from sitting so long, dry rot (pics show car on jack stands)
Body is in good shape with fading paint. A few sore spots from being a 20yr old car.
ask away if you have questions
PM me if you want contact info

Re: '88 Formula 350 near Chicago, $900
The interior is in good shape. Someone ran some wiring for some subs to the rear but they are not hooked up. The stock radio was removed because the tape deck stopped working but I think I left it in the car. (If you want it you can have it) Besides that, there was very little done to the wiring of the car and except for the ECM problem it had barely any problems and nothing out of the ordinary.
You can't really see much of the interior on that one pic but all seats are in good shape. The headliner may be falling some but I honestly do not remember. I can try to get interior pics but like I said before, I moved and am not very close to the car right now so it may be a while.
The wing is in ok shape. I think it was a bit cracked but not terrible.

Is anyone out there interested? The car is still available. I am willing to work with buyer on delivery if necessary. I have thought about getting it running and if I do I will increase the price accordingly. Come on people, make an offer...

Car is solid with some surface rust starting to show.
Cash in hand sounds great, but sale is pending to cmrz92rs at this time. Sorry, but thanks for the interest.
I will update again soon.

Nevermind, my apologies. Good luck with the sale, I am interested but can't afford it right now. Heck of a good deal for a Formy 350...
