My 1989 Pontiac Firebird pictures

Hello all! I'm new here! I have to say that I love this site! It's so complete I can't believe it! Well, I have a 1989 Pontiac Firebird since a year and a half and since then I'm in love with F-BODY. I tought you would like to see some pictures of my ride. The only problem with my car is that It's too damn slow... But every people in my city look at my car... I wish I could go fast. You guys have some tips for me to make him faster easily? I don't know much about cars so try to be clear. I know my english isn't very good, I speak french most of the time, I live in Canada (Quebec province)... If someone want to buy the car, I may sell it to buy maybe something bigger later in a year or two. See ya!

Hi devianb! I'm glad I had a reply so fast! I think I will sell the car to someone that have more cash than me... I take care of it like it was my baby, but with this I don't have many cash left 'cause I have a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Z22-R and the insurance cost me an arm and a leg! The car is stock, the body is perfect it would only need someone that wanna put a big engine in it and it would be ready to kick some ricers ***... Hehehe! Right now I've put the bird to sleep for the winter. (F****** snow) The car have 106 000 miles, still runs great, the interior is in very good shape, the tires are new and it's all original except the paint I did last summer. What are the mods you guys give you the more bang for the buck?

You are definately right. I can't find a single flaw in your body work. It looks great, especially the color. I would be tempted to buy your car just for the body. I need quite a bit of work on my car. I have noticed that there are a lot of Canadians on these boards than ever before.

"The only problem with my car is that It's too damn slow.."

Did you happen to notice its YELLOW... Only kiddin, you'll like this thread then. I guess yellow paint does not mean more HP.



Does yellow paint really add HP? What brand.

Looks good, not to fond of yellow paint in general. But it looks good on your car.

thats what i was gonna sell mine for before it kicked the bucket on me, heres a sample of it, you may have seen it in your short time here, but have a look, started out pretty bad... one whle quarter was rusted away...

all i had done was advanced timing, plus a dynomax catback, the latter is highly remomended by many, it adds a really nice sound to the V6, many people have thuoght i had a 305 for some reason, guess they just dont know that much...

heres like 100pics of ut and 2 vids, it's a 2.8 too....
