Default 67 Firebird for sale/trade

Item Location (City/State): Houston, TX

Price: $35,000 firm.

Description:

Car is a Firebird 400 with turbo 400 from the factory. Deluxe interior/rear antenna/center console option. I had a PHS doc somewhere, not sure where it's at after the move to Texas.

Engine/trans: 5.3/4l60e swap from a 2001 Silverado. Was told it had 85k miles on it. Cylinders still have cross hatching patterns. Transmission has a Corvette servo upgrade. Mast oil pan/DSE LS swap motor mounts/Dynatech headers. PSI wiring harness.

Fuel: tanks inc with internal fuel pump. Corvette fuel filter/regulator.

Body: quarters/trunk pan had been replaced. Original doors/DS fender. Metal/body work done by me, final paint by a body shop in Portland, OR.

Chassis: stock subframe. Hotchkis subframe connectors. Recently added a DSE roll bar.

Suspensions: SPC upper/lower control arms/Speedtech AFX spindles. Hotchkis 2" drop springs front/1.5" leaf springs rear. Ridetech single adjustable shocks all around.

Brakes: Kore3 Z51 front brake (billet hubs/DBA 4000 rotors), LS1 rear brake with working parking brake.

Wheels/tires: Budnik G10 wheels (18x8 front/18x9 rear) with Nitto NT05 tires. Set up has less than 300 miles.

Misc: VHX guages, new AAW wiring harness, LED tail lights. Every nuts/bolts had been replaced. Vintage Air working nice and cold.

Looking to get $35k firm.

You can see the thread on the car in my signature. Car has clear Tx title in my name.

Bring this back up to the top. Had a life changing event, so I've decided to sell the car.

I've added the following parts since the original ad was posted.

Changed the wheels to Formula 43 S6 wheel, grey centers/polished outer. 18x8.5" front, 18x9 rear.

Changed out the front brake calipers to Wilwood Aero6 calipers, with BP-10 pads.

Newly installed Recaro Specialist S seats.

I competed the car in USCA Texas event this past March, and did the Power Tour this last June. The car did great without any issues.

There are some minor issues:
-Tank will be empty, eventhough the guage shows 1/4 tank. Learned the hard way when we ran out of gas while on Power Tours.
-Headers are hanging a bit low.
-The paint is bubling on the driver side sail panel meets the quarter. This showed up a week after the car was painted (2009). I was going to bring the car back to the paint shop, but the shop burned down. My blessing I guess.

Some recent pictures.

Thanks Scott. I really want to keep the car, but at the moment I'd rather have the cash on hand.

Tu, I hope everything is ok.

For potential buyers, Tu is an awesome guy to do business with. I can vouch for his integrity based on a prior sale. He does not sugar coat anything in order to get a sale.

Best of luck on getting this sold.

Thank you Jason for the kind words. Just went thru some personal issues, and I'm ready to move on to other things.

Bump for the day.

Tu, I hope you are doing great and you get your Bird sold. It's a sweet car and was a lot of fun to watch it run earlier this year at TMS.
