Up for sale is my 1999 Pontiac Firebird Formula. The car has 136,xxx miles on it and is originally from Georgia. It’s a 6-speed car with T-Tops , Charcoal Leather interior, power windows, locks and the AC has been removed. I bought the car as a project this past February and have put countless hours and money to get it to where it is today. It pains me to have to sell the car but sometimes life gets in the way. I have less than 1000 miles on the car since I’ve owned it.
Paint:
The car was prepped and painted by Kolorcraft Autobody and Marine here in Syracuse, NY. It was previously painted black. The color is a 2003 ford color-Dark Shadow Grey Metallic with a lighter black tint. It also has darker grey shadowing in the hood vents, fog light areas and vents on the side(See PICS) The Superhawk hood alone had 8 hours of prep before it was painted as it was still in gel coat when purchased. All of the door jams and hatch sills were painted and cleared as well. The engine bay was painted flat black to match the underside of the hood. It has not been washed since it was painted and has been quick detailed after each time it’s been driven.
Motor-
About three months ago, the oil pump failed and I ended up spinning a main bearing. The motor came out and was completely redone at TBR Machine. It currently has about 500 miles on it since the rebuild and runs great. It was street tuned by a local guy with HP Tuners. It makes great power all the way through the power band. I had it on a local dyno that reads about 35-40 rwhp high and it made 459/382 on motor and on a 150 shot with 4 degrees taken out it did 620/609.

Things that need attention
The car currently has a black center console with a charcoal lid. I had to redo all the interior in the car as the previous owner tried to paint it. This was purchased online and I was told it was charcoal. You can’t really tell and it looks good in the car.
The seller did not give me the key for the doors or hatch. The keyless entry works fine.
The power antenna is broken but the radio still picks up channels.
Taillights have some small cracks and scratches in them.[/font]
There is an oil leak around the oil pan that seeps. It does drip a little bit of oil when parked overnight. I believe the rear motor plate might be a little off not letting the pan seat.
Since I have the larger diameter tire on the back(28”), the ABS fuse was pulled. The rear in the car is a 3 Channel and the car has 4 Channel wiring not connected.
The car is located in Syracuse NY. I’m looking for 9,500 obo. Thanks.
