1992 Pontiac Firebird 6 cyl., 3.1L automatic, t-tops

Hi,

I've been lurking in the shadows here for a while lol reading some of the old posts and now I finally have a reason to open a thread.

I've been looking into purchasing another Third Gen as my daily driver. I already own an 84 Trans Am that I'm working on and seeing as the interior is currently completely ripped out I haven't exactly been able to drive it. What do you guys think about me possibly purchasing this Firebird (Please see link below). I haven't been out to see it just wanted to get an opinion. The price is very tempting

Welcome to TGO!!

Thats a nice car for 900 bucks. Its definitly worth looking at and if it runs good, starts good, idles good, then its a great car for the price. Looks like its in damm good condition. Even under the hood is clean, which shows alot about how the car was treated.

i agree even if it dont run great i would jump on that for 900 bucks , though it still try to offer the guy about 700-750 first

few years ago i could pick up cars like that all day long for around 500 bucks

Go for it. Mechanical stuff is mostly easy to fix so starting with straight and clean is a bonus.

And, if you don't go for it, Quinton is just down the road from me; I'll get it.

BTW, I have some extra parts for a V6. Got some seats I'd be happy to give someone just to get them out of my shed. If you live near Quinton, shot me a pm if you need anything and I'll let you know if I can help.
