gauging interest- a 77' Firebird and a 350
 

EDIT- 1977 T/A, auto, hardtop, some rust on the body and rear subframes rusted, im sure they are fixable, would need some building up possibly. no motor or trans in it, basically a roller. will find out what else it does/does not have. I'll be picking it up within the next couple weeks and also have title. i will get pics as soon as i get the car

EDIT- 350 engine, looks to be complete, not seized, 3970014 is the block casting number if i remember correctly. will throw that in with the car if you buy it. pics down below of page. since it would need some work, $500obo for the car, just throwin a price out there. will have better pics in a few days, i couldnt find my digital camera so i had to use my video camera

Is this the car i was talking to you about Ron?

JW :D

Negative, but i should really check that one out too, and the other one thats like 5 miles from me in the other direction.

Interested but I'd need to sell my 88TA first.

When you get the car in please send some general pics of the body and interior to: samael@earthlink.net

I try to do most of the work myself so the less complicated the restore, the better. I can work with Paul R. on an engine replacement.

Thanks.

Ok you two know me well enough that u know u cant leave me out so come on...

will do


hahaha u know it

hit me up as soon as you get that TA. i definately wanna get a look at it.

im going to find out when his friend is taking the car out of there to pull the motor/trans out and will try to get some pics of it for yall'

Man, might not be a bad project car. Full tilt rip down needed. I don't think it is a TA.

That appears to be a base 77-78 Firebird.

Unfortunately thats beyond my skill. Probably affordable, but beyond what I could do.

Good luck!

Ill find out for sure when i get the title

a little research is pointing towards it most likely being a base car with a V8 option. although, as far as i know it was only the T/A's that got the bird on the sail panel.
98t/adriver, hit me up when you get the title. i really wanna get a look at that car when i am back from my adventures in the north.

will do!

100% def not a t/a
no fender vents, ...has firebird emblem on the fender, (base birds DID get the sail panel bird..it was an optional appearance thing) trans ams DID NOT EVER come with dummy lights..they all had full gauge instrumentation, that car however has no tach....pic is bad and i cant tell if its just the overgrown clock, or if its the 3 dummy lights..
in any case..just a regular base model bird...and not worth much more then the price of scrap....especially with that much rust
before i get flamed i'm just tring to be helpful and honest and inform him on the car...so blah..

Dan , I generally agree. Would a title even matter? TA is a trim package, not a model. All the title has is the vin. Anything else it says doesn't really count.

how much do you want?

the protecto plate on the firewall will explain all the trims and options. the title may or may not say firebird/trans am/formula, depends hwo things were filled out when the car was first registered. the lazier the first person to register the car was, the less accurate the description will be

Yeah, im brining it home tomorrow, so i will have more pics of this "terrible rustbucket" "thats not even worth restoring" (which it could very well be) oh yes i know what people say behind my back. its ok though. :)

:rofl:

Hey, I said might not be a bad project car.

i know what you said, youre ok there. "they" know what im talking about. but i dont wanna go off onto a different topic.. Ill have the car tomorrow and get more detailed pics :)

it is a rust bucket, and isn't worth restoring...i've had more then enough of them to judge that fact...
that car is barely worth scrap value

I think I'll be ok, im up to date on my tetanus shots. And as far as scrap value goes, 8.00/100lbs for cars is pretty darn good. PLus i have alot of **** around the yard to throw in there if that's gonna be the case. So as you can see, i make money either way. BRINGIN HER HOME TODAY!

any car is worth restoring IMO, hell with the money i have into the 88 i could have a C5 and its not even close to done :evil:
