Wanted 89 Firebird

I miss my old car and want to buy another one. I was suprised how rare these cars are becoming.

I'm a little bit flexible, but these are the things I'm really looking for:

1. White or Black Exterior - No Color Changes
2. Grey Cloth Interior
3. V8 - Prefer a 350, but 305 is OK
4. Manual Tranny
5. Not all chopped up with aftermarket parts. The more original the better.
6. T-Tops (I know this is the kicker - V8, 5 Speed, and T-Tops seem hard to find in a car that's not beat up or twisted)

I'd be willing to take a trip for the right car, so you don't have to be in TX.

I'm a cash buyer, not a tire kicker.

Thanks!

Re: Wanted 89 Firebird

I have my particulars also (same 89 t-tops etc) - it took more than a year of watching the market before I found mine. So be patient and the deal will come.

Re: Wanted 89 Firebird

You might take a look at this one. I found this one outside of Dallas (Venus, TX). It's a 1990 formula 5.0L TPI manual, T-top, black. I emailed the seller Tuesday and he sent me some more photos. Body looks straight , no rust but could use repaint. Interior seat covers have the usual wear, need replacing, couldn't tell about the headliner from the photos. Seller currently asking $2500, says he has a lot of extra parts that go with it.

Re: Wanted 89 Firebird

Got a 90 Formula with Red Exterior grey interior (changed out the headliner and sunvisors for black though as mine was destoryed), 5 speed 305 V8.

Message me if it interests you. It does have a GT Grant wheel and a Hurst shift handle but I still have the stock ones that you could change back to if you so desired.

Hi,if there's a misunderstanding,I'm sorry.I've got an 89 t-top I was wanting to sell.I was'nt looking for anything except maybe an interesting trade.If that's what you had in mind,great.I entered the wrong thing somewhere,i suppose,and have gotten other e mail,some is relevant,some is not.So,I'm new to forums and threads,computers for that matter.So I apologize if there has been a misunderstanding,if not,let me know.Merry Christmas,panhead p.s,I started out looking for a t-top headliner,the one thing I.m pretty sure you don't have.If for some reason you are interested in a trade,definitely get back to me.Thanks again.
