hi everyone,
I am looking at purchasing my second firebird and here is the deal and what your guys input..
an 1991 v8 (yeah). the engine has been replaced.
if someone could run the vin number and give the infor so i don't get screwed over.
Price. 1495.00 and he wants 800.00 down. which i can swing in two months.

vin number 1G2FS23E2ML204315
i think that is right. i was righting it down in a hurry.

thanks...



Love this board.

 

What kind of shape is the body in?

I assume it still has the stock TBI replacement motor?

 

Hmm. good question. I will ask him that tomorrow. I know it rattle a little which he said was because the idle was set high.
I know for the engine has been replace. It had a orange block that has the firing order on it.

I remember an round air filter and some silver on it. trying to do this from memory. maybe i should borrow the camera tomorrow.

the interior is very nice and it's an automatic. although it doesn;t have t-tops. which i love on mine.

 

what do you mean it rattles? and ask him why the idle is set high

 

sounds like a good deal, check over the whole body for rust or maybe previous damage.

I went up there again with my father.
The price went to 1095. So we looked it over and the interior was really nice. The rpo codes where in the console. but when my dad start examing the enging and listen to it he heard some stuff that didn't sound to good. When he check an area to find about the idle, the dealer told him not to do that. he thought my father was trying to race it and when my father tried to explain what he was doing, the dealer kept on with the don't do that, that everybody comes up and races the car...

So we closed the hood and left.

Plus there was pinging from the car, and a leak coming from the exhause. And I just replaced my exhause manifold in my car already.

So went went up the road where we looked at a 92 red rs camaro cost a lot more but the dealer it much nicer.
A v6 also. But I have one so that is okay.


the firebird would be perfect for someone that want to switch the engine out though. Not me

the Firebird car is now gone.

 

I can get you an '86 Z28 T-top car, no engine or tranny for $500 if you're interested in putting a little work into one. I got pics if you'd like.

FYI...
