I've decided to let go of my firebird. I have a baby on the way and a new job that doesn't allow me to drive it as much as I'd like. I've babied it the whole time I've had it, always parked in the garage, and I never drive it in the rain. It's a fully optioned '97 Formula with the LT1 V8, 152k miles, automatic tranny with 21k miles on rebuild, shifts firm, leather seats, t-tops, '02 Trans Am honeycomb tail lights. It's all stock except for the full exhaust that I spent $1100 for a few months ago (sounds amazing). Runs and drives great, very reliable, lots of power. Maintenance always up to date. You can definitely tell that the car has been cared for.
List of new parts within the past six months (I have receipts for everything):
-New Pacesetter Long tube headers
-New Pacesetter offroad y-pipe w/o cats
-New Hooker Aerochamber cat-back kit
-New Energy Suspension Polyurethane motor mounts
-New coolant temp sensor
-New AC Delco spark plugs
-New EGR purge solenoid
-New battery
-New front O2 sensors
-New rear O2 sensor simulators
The interior is in great shape for its age. Typical wear and tear that almost all these f-bodies have, tear in driver seat, headliner has a few small separations, crack on the dash. The driver side window motor is not working but I have a new one in the box that goes with the car which also has a lifetime warranty. AC has a leak and compressor makes a noise occasionally but blows cold when charged. Tires are in good shape and no curb rash on the wheels. Nose has light fading as most do although its nowhere near as bad as others. One small crack on passenger side of rear bumper. The door panels don't have any cracks like most others do. All in all, this is a very solid, nice driving, clean LT1 car that is ready for some cruises. Unfortunately I don't have any time for it and I'll be sad to see it go. I have much more into it than what I'm asking. Clean blue title in my name. If you have any questions or would like to see the car, please message me.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
