Nice build, dude. The color's not my cup of tea, but I like everything else about this car.
Good luck with the sale!

Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
Dan and Jay- thanks for the kind words and thoughts. Not much action, so far. Can it be TGO is sleeping these days. It has been the go to place for 3rd Gens. Oh well.
I went through a Yellow Phase. Painted my Yamaha yellow a bit before the Bird. A BMW 90s color- Dakar Yellow ;-)

Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
If I didn't already have two ls swapped 3rd gens...... or maybe I need 3????
Just reread your build thread - someone will get a great deal with all the mods done to it.
good luck with the sale!

Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
I really like this build. I would drive the crap out of this.
I have way too many projects that need to leave before my next purchase. I’m ready to move on from projects to drivers like this car.
Have you had any serious offers on it?

Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
Also surprised no one has grabbed this up, I think that's a great price for all the goodies on this beast, I'm actually keeping my eye out for an already LS swapped thirdgen before going down that road myself, however looking for a very specific body style. free bump for a cool well built car!
Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
I bought this car recently and was trying to get in touch with flip 2 . Does anyone know how to get in touch with him? I tried to message his profile but it says I don’t have permission.thank you Jeff

Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
Since your account is new I think there is a threshold of posts you need to make before private messaging becomes available. 10 or something. That being said his profile says last active Feb 18, 2023 . He may not visit very often anymore or have gone inactive - posting on this thread was probably a good way to try to get a notification to him, if hes subscribed.
Re: 1983 Firebird S/E - LSX
Thank you so much I appreciate it. So it could take 10 post to get to the point where I can send a personal message from his profile page to him that might actually go to his email through the forum?
