    1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula
    5.7L LT1 V8 Engine
    4L60E Performance Transmission
    60,000 Miles
    T-tops

    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. And the latch for the glove box is messed up. 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

    Asking $6,000. Pretty Firm.


    EDIT
    Can Be Viewed In Portage, Mi.
    $5800 FIRM.
    No Joyrides or Tire Kickers Please.

    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.

    Also please do not post useless info and downgrade anything. Thanks!

      Also 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. I was told it will have 500+ Hp.

                              Yeah, my dad bought one that was on craigslist but a totally different one. Confusion was probably that I used one of the photos from this thread to photoshop rims for my dad.
