My friend picked this up on Wednesday. It is a Firebird pretending to be a Trans Am now but none of that matters anymore! He just wanted a cheap older car that he could drive for now and fix it up in the future. Well, that didn't last long! It has a 301 with a 2 barrel carb and plans were to swap the intake and carb just so he could have a little fun with it before the snow came. Long story short, we agreed not to put any money into that engine but I didn't expect him to say, lets start the restoration now! So here are some pics of it as of last night. The goal is to make it look like the Year One Trans Am (pics below) He wants to go manual so an LS swap is what we are leaning towards right now.

*Just an FYI, if anyone else has one of these and needs parts, let me know. We are going to have some things that he is not putting back on. Engine & Trans(100k miles), Wheels & Tires for sure. The rest I wont know for a while until he starts ordering parts.
















Here is what he wants it to look like when its finished.
