8-22-2020 - The car is currently not available. I'll update the listing if anything changes.


Looking to get the stalled project out of my garage. It's a 91 Firebird shell, was a complete base model with a V6, auto, and no options. It had high mileage and had been neglected but the bones were solid. It had one small spot of rust that's been cut out and clean steel welded back in. It doesn't show any evidence of any serious collision damage, but someone hooked the driver's mirror on something and mangled the door. I've worked on the door quite a bit and gotten it fairly close to where I think it should be, but I've got another door that will go with the car. The hood, fenders, bumper covers, and deck lid are still in faded flaking green paint, the shell and doors have been stripped to bare metal aside from the underneath, and the engine compartment has been primed with epoxy. It's all set to finish the body work and build back up however you want. Right now there's no interior, no suspension, etc bolted to the shell. It can be had just as it is, or I can bolt the crossmember and a 10-bolt rear into it with enough suspension that it can roll on a trailer. The hood, fenders, and bumper covers aren't pictured but they'll come with the car. It'll come with a clean signed title. If you want various other parts to complete the car, they can be included for additional cost. I'm asking $1,000 for the rolling shell with nothing fancy included. Anything extra we'll need to talk. Local pick-up in Salina KS.

If you can't figure out how to get a trailer and something to pull it, or how to get the car home, don't waste my time with stupid questions.

Be a great shell for some one looking to swap from a rusty car or a shell ready to go to send to a chassis shop.

 

Well worth the money glws.

 

I'm sad to see it end, but totally get it. I have a car (non-thirdgen) I lost interest in sitting in my back yard stripped to a shell. I love thirdgens, but there is no way I could undertake this level of restoration unless it was a Firehawk. I get heartburn just looking at it, but I was looking forward to following this and watch it become the world's nicest base Firebrid, so a little disappointed. Someone will get a nice starter, that's for sure!

 

"Social Distancing" has killed any chance of getting anyone to help with heavy lifting. I've had the hatch ready to lift off for over a month now, no one around to lift the other side, can't strip the channel the hatch and weatherstripping sits in with the hatch on there, so I'm stuck. I had hoped to get the rest of the shell primed and move on to the next step for a couple years now. Every spring when the weather is ideal to throw things in high gear, something comes up... It's been family a time or two, this year it's Covid. By the end of May it's usually too hot to work on the car outdoors, so unless I want to turn the shop into a paint booth, it'll be hard to work on until Fall... I just want to get the other car out of storage and back into my garage, and can't do that with this car sitting in the way. Actually, I can hardly work on anything with this car in the way. I expect it to be a hard sell since it's a Firebird "kit" at the moment, just a little assembly required. In general I don't like trying to sell project cars, so chances are pretty good I'll take the listing down in a few days if it doesn't get much attention.

 

Lost my shop space, had to move. If anyone is remotely interested, I could probably make a deal to include a ton of the parts to assemble a pretty nice car. Moving it is the question mark. Right now it's on the rolling cart in the pictures. It's easy enough to roll around just one person. It'd probably roll on a trailer and could be strapped down.

I've got the dash assembly, with the well worn dash pad, and the original 120mph V6 cluster. The original HVAC box and ducting is all in storage and can be tossed in with the deal. I've got all the interior panels, that have been quickly cleaned and are in decent shape. The original seats will go with it. The headliner board has been treated with fiberglass resin, it'll go with the car. The HVAC box under the hood will go with it, along with steering box and all the stock suspension pieces. The fuel tank is sitting there ready to go back in. Pretty much everything is there except the V6 engine and 700R4 that I scrapped.

If someone wants to buy the car and the parts I had to build up the car, I've got a Formula hood, GTA wheels, V8 exhaust manifolds, dual cat Y-pipe, a complete TPI setup with harness, and accessories, I've got V8 TPI fuel lines (used), and the restored front crossmember with poly V8 mounts. I'm flexible. I've got too many project cars and I'm in the middle of a move, etc... So it needs to go. I'd rather sell it to someone on here that can appreciate it than to stuff it full of parts and send it to the scrapper.

 

Man, this is an amazing deal. If I had some space I'd already be on my way. To have a clean shell of a 91/92 with the gfx to build up how I want has always been a goal. GLWS

 

Hey Drew, this still available ?

 

The car is still sitting there, but I don't really have access to it or the parts, so effectively it's no longer for sale. It's caught up in family drama.
