Just gaging some interest here. My dad purchased a white 97 ws6 formula from a guy who isn't sure what he was sitting on. He was the original owner, and just recently moved here from Ohio. It does need a little bit of work.
Details:
-1997 Firebird Formula (True WS6)
-White with blue stripes (not under clearcoat)
-WS6 package and wheels with matching blue centercaps
-Ram Air
-Hardtop
-Auto 4L60E (1 of less than 500 hardtop autos)
-Hooker or BBK headers (with EGR, he does not remember brand off hand)
-Newer Fuzion tires (90%+ tread left)
-97,000 miles (if I remember correctly...)
-Original highway miles
-Black leather interior
-Monsoon with CD Changer
-Fresh oil change at Valvoline (I was the one who performed it and that is where I found out about the car)
-Tinted hatch window
-Underdrive pulley
Needs:
-Front nose (damaged from a winter spinout)
-Rear bumper (car swung around)
-Rear quarter will need to be banged out and wheeled to refinish (no serious paint damage or creasing)
-Driver's side taillight
-Headers need retightening, very slight leak
-Wheels will need new centercaps and refinishing (clear is peeling)
-Stripes need to be removed (they are on top of the clearcoat, so they can be removed and the paint wheeled to refinish), the sun did a number on them since they were not protected with clear. Paint is fine though. The stripes are faded and cracked pretty bad.
-Stereo not working
He said he had the car out on winter a year ago and he spun it on accident and the nose hit and swung around and the passenger quarter hit. The fix is very easy. Most of the paint is in good shape. The car is mechanically sound, no issues from the motor or trans. Runs like a top. No serious mechanical issues have risen. No body rust, and just minor surface rust on the undercarriage, expected of a 10 year old car. Note that this car runs and drives EXCELLENT, and none of the defects will effect its driveability whatsoever.
Appraisal, based on "fair" condition, described as:
"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.
Kelley Blue Book = $6,105
Edmunds = $5,943
NADA = $12,300 (unrealistic, I know...throwaway price, since you cannot choose options/mileage/etc.)
This is not my asking price, nor am I expecting to necessarily get that amount of money. This is simply a feeler to see what people think it could be worth, and if someone wants it bad enough for a decent price, it is their's. My dad also wants to determine whether or not he wants to keep it and do the minor work himself, and then drive it next summer. So, with that, let's here some offers and opinions!
NOTE ABOUT PICS: The car is currently not stored at my house, and my camera isn't here either, so pictures will come when available (probably another week or two).
