$5k cash this weekend

Alright well i am selling a 1997 pontiac firebird that a red a4 lt1, the car is a very very nice car and really hate to sell it. What you see is what you get, i have sold 2 cars in the past month and both of them sold to the first person to come and look at them, so i dont hide anything and am 100% honest on every detail. Now for the goodies...


1997 pontiac firebird
Lt1 engine
a4 trans
only 98k miles
hardtop car
suspension is super tight and drives great
women owned and driven
bone stock
never modded
brand new rotors and pads all around
satin 5 spoke wheels with good tires
runs amazing
shifts super strong
new headlight motors work superb
interior has never been smoked in
interior is perfect dark gray cloth
carpet perfect
garaged every winter and rarely driven in rain
have many many reciepts for oil changes and work performed on the car.

this car has 0 rust at all on it, the car is super clean and runs great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.

I am going to list it for $6000obo to start on craigslist but would definitely take offers e here for a quick sale. Car is worth every penny of that. If i didnt have the vette and 87ta i would keep this one in a heartbeat and if it doesnt sell i might make my DD. I will have pics posted below. I might also include chrome 5 spoke firebird wheels as well so you would be getting 2 sets.


I have the receipts for all the work and parts done, totals $900 and only 800 miles on all this work. car is ready to go for many miles
New ceramic pads front and rear
New rotors front and rear
oil change
full cooling flush
new serp belt
new air pump
2 new egr check valves
new locking gas cap.

also has service history for oil changes as well


Also just passed emisssions on 7-1 so its good to go for a while

There is not one little thing wrong with it at all.

Alright here are some pics, these were just taken this morning and i will be doing a wash, wax and detail all day today along with putting some goodies on her, so i will update with better pics later but just wanted to get some pics up to show what she looks like.

started buffing it tonight and its coming out fantastic, like glass.

Also forgot to add that the a/c blows super cold and i added a red strut tower brace tonight as well, all power windows, mirrors, everything works perfect on this car.


Also i really want to sell this car asap, by this weekend would be great and i would be willing to work with the price.

Very nice body and paint for it's age. Looks like the carpet and floor matts need some serious TLC.

I would shampoo and scrub the hell out of them to make them match the rest of the car.

Otherwise, the car seems to be a very nice survivor.
