THe Up side is its a nice looking car

the DOWN side is there is nothing there that even closely resembles a 15th anniversayr Ed T/A. Other than its White and has a couple of Blue stripes...

Its a nice looking Trans Am err I mean Formula or is it a Firebird, or all three.

At the Trans Am nationals it would probaly go into light custom because of the number of changes. Although some of the changes would not count because they could have been found on a Firebird/SE/TA of that year. For example at the T/A nats if you have an Overhead console on an 87 Formula, technically speaking it was not availlable on the Formula, only the T/A and GTA had it as an option in 87. However because it was available for that particular year on one of the models it is not counted against you. However it should count as a change on an 89 Formula as the OHC was droped after 87 or 88.

The car is a light custom however.

How do people list no reserve but starting bid is 10,900.00. I am not an ebay person but isn't that kind of like a reserve if you set the starting bid at a set price.

Reserve and starting bids are seperate.

In this case the 1st bidder will be in the door since there is no reserve.

A reserve would be the threshold price and its always higher than the starting price.
