I have tried rebuilding my firebird, and as a result, wound up messing something up, as the fuel is no longer getting up to the carburetor. I have done nothing but work on the car, and it's hardly run for closing in on a year, so with me off to college, I figured I might as well sell it, buy another car later.

Here we have it...

Holley 600cfm carburetor. I just rebuilt it, in great working order, maybe 10mins total running time since rebuilding (with a new power valve, new acc. pump, just reused the old casting). Asking $90 OBO for this (the Trick Kit I bought and used alone is $40-50, so this is a steal!) SOLD PENDING PAYMENT / PICKUP!!!

Trans Am Rims (16" with four good tires) or the Aluminum Racing Wheels (15" with four worn out tires) it came with. I can't use 2 sets of rims for a car I won't have for long, so if you're interested in one set or the other, let me know. Best offer.

Trans Am Hood, with paint work (I have photos...). $50 OBO.

If you want any other parts, let me know, and I'll see if this car has them; I'm just listing what I've found that I feel people would be interested in. If you are interested in engine, tranny, drivetrain, etc. let me know, as I'll gladly sell this car for a good price w/ or w/o any of the afore-mentioned parts. I just need to get the title from Michigan so I can sign it off (shouldn't take too long). I won't be pulling the drivetrain, so as I said, if you're interested in the drivetrain, I'll sell you the car for parts and you can pull whatever you want out.

The engine is a swapped 350cid SBC with a bore btw. Makes decent power when the car runs. :nod:

More parts available for sale:

Haynes Holley Carburetor Rebuild Manual - $10. Retails $20 + tax.
Edelbrock chrome air cleaner assembly w/ K&N air cleaner (like new...) $40 + tax.

I'll also sell the carb w/ manual and air cleaner/assy for $130 OBO. That's a huge deal ... auto parts warehouse cost is $378! I'm asking roughly 1/3 the price, which considering the age (everything except the carburetor is less than a year old ... the filter is 6 mo. old, the book is just a couple weeks old, the carb itself although it's used was just rebuilt).

Okay, the guy who was supposed to buy the carburetor hasn't contacted me lately (or put any money down on it...) so that's still available. Just rebuilt recently.

I never mentioned Gold wheels or GTA wheels people. They're just regular Trans Am rims. Not WS6's. Not GTA's.

Bonzo - do you want the width of the rim? If so, I could try measuring that, but it's got undersize 215mm on there (225 is the "correct fit" for those rims).

Yes width, you already mentioned diameter. if they are oe wheels then they will not work. thx-

They are not OEM wheels, but aftermarket painted aluminium wheels. VERY light weight...
