This is my 1997 Firebird Formula I am listing for sale. This is a vehicle that I purchased with the intention of fixing up for myself. Time and money constraints from finishing up what would be a dream car for me. Let is be yours. With some work this car will be great! The car itself is the Formula with the high performance package though not a WS6 though it does have a factory functional RAM air hood with the K&N option air cleaner unit which bumps up the power quite a bit on this model The RPO code for this vehicle is WS9. So the RAM AIR is factory. I had a set of SLP shorty headers installed on the engine along with a complete Magnaflow 3 inch cat back exhaust back to the Muffler which is a Flowmaster also new high flow catalytic converters which breathes good and sounds mean and boosts the power even more. I believe it has the upgraded suspension with the thicker sway bars. It has Hotchkis rear trailing arms. It also has the high performance option rear 3.42 gears. When I got the car it had the factory optional Bilstein Shocks and lowering springs, I replaced all with a used set all around the normal GM ones. The springs and shocks were shot and I did not have the cash to replace them with same. It also has a Hotchkis Strut tower bar. With all these things stated this car is BAD ASS FAST, not really something you would want to give your teenager unless you have money for tickets. It cruises down the highway at 90 MPH in 4th gear with 2 more gears to go, yes it is a Borg/Warner Tremec 6 speed Transmission. When new this car was capable of 0-60 in like 5.4 seconds which is quite fast with some work can be returned to it's glory. I have replaced many parts various sensors, ECU, Power steering, pump upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, power window motors the entire exhaust from the motor to the tail pipes. Optispark ignition rotor and cap, spark plugs and wires, EAR, Mass Airflow sensor. I am probably forgetting something. I have a brand new flywheel and high performance clutch kit to install which will go with the car. Also the car has small oil leak which I have the Victor Reinz oil pan gasket to make the repair. It also recently in in need of the clutch hydraulic system to be flushed and bled. The fluid has gone bad from sitting. This car should be towed and thoroughly gone through before driving. The car has a Kenwood stereo system Kenwood Audio Keg Hard drives 20GB with JBL and Eclipse component audio system with 2 Audiobahn Amps what I believe I was told was 2000 WATTS and 1200 WATTS and DynoMat sound deadening everywhere. This is the loudest car stereo I have ever owned. I believe that is an SLP sub woofer box with 15 inch Eclipse Sub woofers . This stereo system is extremely loud, you can have a block party with this system or go deaf, no joking! The body well there is no collision damage of which I know. The much of the body panels are fiberglass this year so it does not rust though several spots of the body that are metal have only surface rust nothing serious. The entire clear coat is gone on the front end of the car. The car needs a complete paint job. there are a couple of minor scratches in one t-top. The tops do not leak. The car sits on the Factory 16inch 5 star wheels with Eagle GT II tires. I also have a set of WS6 Speedline wheels with good tires 17 inch from a 2002 Trans I am including with this saleg. These wheels and tires are easy worth a $1000. The interior could uses a really good cleaning the clip that holds the power button panel in the doors broken (I have seen on eBay for $25) the headliner is worn and loose around the edges. The sun visors need replaced though they wont hang in your way. No tears in the seats. They dash is cracked in a couple of places common with these The car is definitely worth finishing. Clean title in hand. I hate to let it go. Ask questions if you have them... But not the stupid ones like: Will you sell the rims? NO Will you sell the RAM AIR Hood and Air box? NO I am not parting the car out. Yes I realize I can get more in parts but it deserves to be running. Make me a good offer and make this one yours!!! Car is also for sale locally and could end at anytime! do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers OH YEAH NO PAYPAL FOR THIS ITEM! UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THE FEE!
