1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula With 403 Ci Engine on 2040-cars

cars. This is the same drive train as the best Trans Ams ' without the screaming chicken!  The body looks pretty sharp, the paint has a good shine to it. There is a fleck or three missing but is quite presentable. The only rust I can see is a bit of surface rust on the hood near the right hood air scoop. The interior is in very nice condition.  Its what some term a "20 footer". Some idiot put in a temporary dash cap that does not quite match-oh wait, that was me. Sorry. It will need a new decal kit if you want to start going to shows but as a driver its pretty much good to go. The car starts right up every time and did all winter. I've been driving it everyday and it goes down the road at a good clip, draws smiles and turns heads every time I head out the driveway. I suspect it will need new shocks and the tires are old but they are serving well. I don't have a lot of history on this car. I do know it spent some years of its life in a shed in southern Illinois, a fate that I saved it from. The title I got was clear and mileage exempt due to age. My title says what's on the odometer which is 35 K. I cannot swear that's the true mileage so its either 35 or a surprisingly fit 135.  I drive cars but I don"t fix them. There may be other issues not readily apparent-but I have been driving this car on a daily basis to work, to kid's sports games, to grocery store etc and it has never failed to start, stall out or leave me stranded. Feel free to send me an email but I would prefer if you just called with any questions. two-oh-two five five oh-oh oh oh eight-my name is Claude. I suspect that many people reading this listing will know more about cars in general and this car in particular than I do so if you want to call and ask about "compression ratios" or some such its going to be a boring conversation but I will do the best I can. This car according to the NADA guide in average condition is worth close to $13,000.  My reserve is thousands less than that.
