Any Firebird(2.8 / 3.1 / 305 / 350)

Well, basically becoming addicted to the third gens after seeing some friends around me get them, I'm wanting to get in one.

I just love them in general, I don't mind if I get a v8 or a v6.

I'm looking at a $600 3.1L Camaro atm, but I'm still keeping my eyes open for other deals.

I'm still paying on my 01 mustang atm and dont have a lot of extra cash.
Maximum I'm willing to spend is 1k.

I'd love to find a 305 - buddy found his 305 84 Firebird for 750, would be nice to find a deal like that myself.

I'm really not to worried about the shape of the car as long as it doesn't need a ton of work up front.

I dont mind the condition of the body either really as long as it isnt smashed to pieces. The last car I looked at was a 91 3.1L and it looked like it had been through hell and back, some rust, chunk out of the bumper, but ran and drove good - $400 - would have bought it but was sold before I did.

I'm in Burlington, IA - I'm willing to drive around 2-3 hours but not much farther.

I'd pay cash as well.
So, my ideal find would be a 305 T-Tops 5spd(better yet a 350, but yeah right, i know better :P ) - however I know beggars can't be choosers - so anything you got for 1k or less, throw it at me.

Do you have any pictures?

And is the car located in Farmington, IL?

Because that is relatively close to me (1 and 1/2) and I'm easily willing to drive that to check out your car if it's a good running/driving car like you say.

Hey man, is the car still for sale?


I've been rather occupied with work and some other issues lately and haven't had a chance to really be car shopping, but I'm still interested in your car.

I do have Thursday off. I also have tomorrow off but I don't want to schedule anything too sudden for anyone. I could come look at it Thursday.

Well depending on what exactly it is you are looking for I have an 88 firebird with the 305 throttle body injection system for sale for $700, tbi is much better that a carb, but I live in washington and you would have to be willing to have it hauled. the motor and tranny are good and strong it just wont stay running after filling the tank with premium gas

I've got an 89 2.8 Auto Bird with t-tops.Runs great. some rust, not too bad, and a little clear coat peeling on the hood. I'm in the Quad City area. Interior is so-so, it came out of my Iroc. Drivers seat is torn. I can send some pics if you are interested.
