The rear has 3.73 motive gears and a TA girdle, BW 6-spd trans is stock. I was planning to replace both when they broke, but they never did!

The car also has an ACPT carbon fiber drive shaft and full G2 setup (sway bars, SFC's, torque arm).

Yes, the car was only driven a couple of weekends a month. It was never my daily driver.

Do you have any pictures of the engine bay and interior? Maybe a dyno sheet?

I'll post more pics tomorrow. I have some dyno sheets as well, will find them and scan them.

Here is a video with the car on the dyno with the original 346ci motor. It pulled over 600 RWHP on that dyno run.

(The video that says 600 HP Firebird).

More pics. It rained all day today so I wasn't able to take interior pics. The interior is pretty much perfect, down to the original (almost spotless) floor mats!

More pics:









I also have a brand new pair of wheels for slicks/ET Streets, still in the box. I'll throw those in with the sale.

Will post interior pics when I get a chance! FWIW, It's perfect/like new inside. There are gauges on the driver's side pillar mounted in a housing for SC boost and fuel pressure.

LOL, thanks! If you think it looks nice, it actually sounds just as good if not better. You can't really tell from the dyno video, but the car sounds amazing IRL.

Yes that is correct! Jack Williams Autobody in El Cajon did the work. They stripped the clear, did the flames using ChromaLusion paint and re-sprayed the clear. They did an amazing job! The clear on the car now is much nicer than the original.

Thanks for the tip! That pic was at my old address, I've since moved so I won't bother to blank it out.

Thanks for the compliments guys, it really is a great looking/performing car for a great price too.

I want to add that I've gotten an offer for a trade plus cash. I have other cars so I'm only looking to sell at this time.

I've seen this car in person a number of times.

VERY clean!

Good luck with the sale.
