Its an extremely nice car. It is a ’95 Pontiac Firebird Formula. This car is my baby, but I have decided it is time to parts ways with it for something else. The car is in pristine condition, with very few flaws. The car has just over 60,000 miles on it. Always stored winters! I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle to my knowledge. The Spring of '08 alone I have put over $6,000 into it. Including a complete tune-up with the best of the best on everything, new exhaust, and a brand new Jasper Racing Performance Transmission, which is under a 3-year warranty. I also have a lot more done. The car has Limo Tinted T-Tops, Rear Window, 8" Strip on Windshield and 15% on the Sides. The car is sitting on the original wheels, which has Cooper Cobra Tires. I also have the Black ZR1 Corvette wheels (pictured) that I will sell for extra. Everything that has been done to the car I have receipts for. The car runs excellent! It is very fast (12 second car) and very reliable. Too much to list everything. The only thing this car needs is a new driver side window motor $40 from Summit. Call for more info.

Im interested in trading for; Lifted SUV/JEEP/EXT. Cab Truck, Modded Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Or I will consider anything worth the same.
Call Chris at (269) 744-6968

Looking to get $6,900. I Will Negotiate On The Price.

Sharp car. GL with the sale, you'll miss it though trust me

[s.reef]

Nice car, Good luck!!!

[Extreme]

Thanks guys appreciate it. I will miss it a lot, but I might pick up another F-body. Don't know yet what I will get when she goes. Id like to sell it soon so I have cash for a new fun car come Spring.

Here is the Run Down on it. Built Jasper Performance 4L60E tranny w/ electronic shift kit. Also has traction control (told its a rare option). Less than 1,000 miles on tranny. T-tops, Power windows, locks, and mirrors. Its 1 of 26 Formulas in this color (was told) Always stored winters, Ive been told Im the 3rd owner of it. The car has Limo Tinted T-Tops, Rear Window, 8" Strip on Windshield and 15% on the Sides. The car is sitting on the original wheels, which has Cooper Cobra Tires which are in decent shape. It had a complete tune-up and misc. parts done this past spring including the fowllowing; MSD Optispark Distributor, Electronic Spark Module, MSD Ignition, A/C Compressor, MSD Wires, Iridium Plugs, MSD Cap, MSD Rotor, Fuel Filter, K&N Air Filter, 180 degreeThermostat, Coolant Temp Sensor, PCV Valve, EGR Valve, All new Disc Brakes, Radiator Flush and clean, Royal Purple Oil, Hastings Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, new exhaust 2.5" ran all the way back with no cat into 80 series flowmaster mufflers with 3" magnaflow chrome tips, which sounds awesome!! It does have wires ran for a stereo system, currently there is no deck. Im sure Im missing quite a bit. Here is a few more pics. Just before I put it up for the winter.

And I forgot to mention as far as that tranny goes here are the details on it:
1) New boost valve and sleeve are installed in the transmission pump
to prevent slippage under heavy throttle and delayed reverse
engagement.
2) To also help prevent slow reverse engagement the low/reverse
checkball is removed since this part is prone to wear leading to
reverse engagement issues.
3) Modified pump slide with spacer are used to apply more consistent
pressure which in turn prevents gear slippage.
4) All individual valve body circuits are tested for accuracy and
pressure. This testing ensures that proper pressure is achieved to
prevent slipped clutches, 2-4 band failure and soft lock up which can
be caused by inproper pressures.
5) The TCC Control Valve, TCC Regulator valve and the Actuator Feed
Limit are replaced and the bores are reamed because these high wear
areas can lead to shifting problems as well as soft or no lock up
conditions.
6) The forward and reverse abuse plugs in the valve body are
replaced to prevent cross leaks that can lead to delayed reverse
engagement, 3-2 shift tie up and 3-4 clutch failure.
7) New Pressure Switch Manifold is installed because this part
cannot be properly cleaned. This part ensure no wrong gear starts,
and delayed engagements.
8) New Pressure Control Solenoids are used to prevent high or low
pressure issues which can lead to harsh or soft shifts.
QUALITY & DURABILITY UPDATES
1) The latest design sun shell is installed. This design is more
durable than the original design which could sometimes break and lead
to no reverse or loss of 2nd or 4th gear.
2) The return springs in the 3-4 clutch are removed and the exhaust
port in the separator plate is enlarged which helps prevent 3-4
clutch failure.
3) The torque converter is remanufactured using a state-of-the-art
converter aligner/welder which holds converter runout to even tighter
tolerances than OE. This prevents pump bushing wear and front seal
leaks caused by converter vibration.
4) High energy 2-4 band is used which absorbs more heat and has
greater durability than a standard band.
5) High energy 3-4 clutch pack and increased lined clutch and steel
plates (from 6 to 7) are used for increased torque capacity which
prevents premature clutch failure.
6) Aluminum 1-2 accumulator pistons are used instead of the OE
plastic pistons which were prone to breaking. This stronger piston
prevents piston breaking which can cause low fluid pressure and burnt
clutches.
7) All new pump and case bushings are used which helps prevent loss
of fluid pressure and in turn clutch failure.
All the servos and everything were upgraded to the Vette servos. It has the best of the best on everything for that tranny.

It really runs 12's ?????

It really runs 12's ?????

on the internet it does, unless he has more done to it than just an exhaust he mentioned lol.

I have never actually taken it to the track. However Ive raced a few cars and in about a 1/4 mile I took down a consecutive 13.0-13.1 car by 3-4 cars from a 10mph roll to 120. Ive also ran a couple low 13 second cars from a stop and pulled on them. Some have had the jump on me some havent. Id put it right there in high 12s maybe a flat 13. As far as I know nothing internal has ever been done on this, but the owner before me didnt tell me much. I do have to say that tranny did make a noticable difference as well.

Anyone interested?

Look man, no offense, but get real. That car is no where near being a 12 sec car. The only real mod that you have done to gain power is the K&N, and deleting the CAT maybe. The flowmasters are known to actually flow worse than stock mufflers. So you are 5-10 rwhp at best above stock. And not to mention it's a heavy car with all the power options and t-tops. Does it have leather? There's more weight. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I don't like it when people make claims that are not true. I'm going to be extrodinarily generous here and say that you might get a 13.8 out of it.

He's never been to a track, he's going by seat of the pants feel, and maybe it can run a 13 flat, never know, that upgraded tranny could make a difference. I've never run my LS1 on a track and i bet it'd be in the low 12s, once the ignition issue is fixed. Cars can pull some fast times out of their asses every now and then. Just because its an LT1 doesn't automatically make it slow. And its always guaranteed faster than a mustang

Look, I don't want to turn this guys for sale thread into a bench racing/ I can do this and you can't thread. Fact of the matter is, that car isn't a 12 second car. Period, so it shouldn't be advertised as such.

Thankyou for your input. People on here seem not to believe me but I dont have any reason to dobt the fact of my car being at the high 12s or even a flat 13. Like I stated in the past that tranny was a lot of a difference.

I have no reason to lie about the 1/4 mile times of my car. Honestly it doesnt matter to me because I really never had the need or wanted to take my car to the track to beat on it all night just to prove to someone how fast it runs. I know from experiances from racing what I can do in it. The tranny plus the little other mods Ive down has chanced it quite a bit. It runs everybit of the high 12s or flat 13. Im not here to argue the 1/4 mile time of this car. Im just on here trying to see if anyone is interested in purchasing this car.
