Used Pontiac Firebird for Sale

The Pontiac Firebird Formula that I have I bought used in 1989. It has a v8 engine, 301 cubic inches. It has dual exhaust and a four barrel carb. The car accelerates from 0-60mph in seven seconds, which is fast for its year. The car has T-tops, glass ones. I have fixed the moldings on them so that they do not leak anymore. I bought this car in 1989 for $1,500 cash. Over the years I have maintained it well. The car has 110,000 miles on it. When I bought it in 1989, it had 60,000 miles on it. Over the years I have driven it cross country twice. I have used it as a daily driver for several different time periods in my life. The car has been repainted twice. It is currently black and red. I have outrun the police on several occasions, as the car is faster than most police cars. The top speed on this car is 140 mph. I have been lucky that I never got a speeding ticket driving it.

First of all, I should state that I bought the car used and horribly taken care of before me, so many of the negatives will most likely come from that. I guess, being a child of the 80's, I was always in love with the mid to late 80's style of the Pontiac Firebird. The car just always cool. Mine, however, wasn't loved as much before I bought it. I think the guy that owned it before me wanted to turn it in to a race car, but gave up and sold it. He broke the original hood attempting to remove the engine to rebuild it. That's how my red Firebird had a black Trans Am hood on it. Honestly, that didn't really bother me. I was 21, it was my first car, I just thought it made it look cooler! But there were other issues. I forgot why, but the ignition needed to be replaced within a week after I bought it. Also, with the "work" the previous owner put into the car, he either removed and forgot to replace, or otherwise broke the transmission mounts, so whenever you stomped on the gas, the transmission would lurch forward and "kick" the engine. He also forgot to reattach the speedometer and odometer, so I never knew how fast I was going. Luckily, I never got pulled over. The only other major downside was the drivers seat was broken and couldn't stay up on it's own, so I had to prop it up with a milk crate. Other than that, I loved that car. I'm sure that now, 10 years later, I'd still be driving it, had it been in better condition before I bought it. Mechanically, everything was fine. Power windows and locks, heat and ac, radio, it all worked just fine.

This is a very special car to me. This specific car was my father's first. When it became my time to start driving, I purchased the car from him. This car was everything a teen could ask for. It was sporty with a manual transmission and could get you in a lot of trouble. The car is very clean since my father is very picky with how he keeps his vehicles. The only down side to this car is the maintenance. Like any other older vehicle, there will be repairs. I have put way more money into this vehicle than it is worth, but that's why I love it.
