I know of a woman with an 82 Firebird with a 4 cylinder in it so I am going to have to sell my 83 T/A in order to get it, not enough room for 3 3rd gens, a mini van and a Sable in the driveway lol.I bought this car on Ebay and had to do quite a bit of work to get it back on the road. the car has a brand new cat back exhaust, the cat has been replace with a straight pipe. the rear end was swapped out for an 84 rear end and in order for this swap to be really as good as possible I bought a brand new set of rear brake lines, 82-83 brake line ends are standard thread and 84-92 are metric so these lines have a standard t thread and metric wheel cylinder fittings. also I had to replace the drivers door window and both window switches,battery the right front headlight relay was replaced,the seats were replaced b/c the old ones were ripped up. the drivers door has a dent in it but it does not hang up the window regulator so the window rolls up and down fine.rocker under the drivers door is dented in.the floor on the pass side has a bump in it b/c one of the previous owners had to have bottomed out in the car at sometime. the car is red and black with a USA sticker on the rear bumper cover and BIR decals on the rear 1/4 panels. the pass side of the car is in really nice shape, the drivers side door of course could use replacing, the lt front fender would have to be replaced to make the body clean and straight.I have used the car for a work car this winter and it has never failed to start once, it has been very reliable. the car drives very straight, breaks without any pulling to the side, and idles very smoothly especally for a motor that is 23 years old and prob not rebuilt. the o.d. is at 142,200 miles. the only thing on the car that does not work is the A/C other wise the rear defrost, rear hatch release, all lock cylinders,great heat,all guages etc all work really good. the dash is 100% intact, I don't think the car has been tampered with electrcally at all. the original GM af/fm cassette is still intact and works perfectly as do all the speakers. car is automatic with a 700R4. rear 1/4's are solid!! the car sat for 4 years in a barn before I got it last August.car has T-Tops and also a spare set of T-Tops will go with the car.car also has factory wheels on it.
what the car needs is a new bulb for the dome light and a dome light lens, drivers side door mirror, just the mirror glass itself is needed not the whole housing etc. valve cover gaskets installed which I will buy this friday (they leak),and a left rear wheel cylinder which I will also buy this friday at Napa. the lt rear brake line is capped off right now until the wheel cylinder is replaced.I am asking $500.00 which is not out of line considering how reliable the car has been this winter(got it in August) and I bought a parts car last year that I paid $500.00 for from a club member and that one didn't even run (which I knew)the car is located 15 miles west of Rochester off of hwy 14. 1.5 hours south of downtown Mpls, 35w S top hwy 62 to hwy 52 s to hwy 57 and you are there.
