My $4400 Ls1

NYSpeed Automotive
1

well my car finally showed up Fri night, I didnt want to post too much about it earlier as far as price as I dont like to count my chickens before they’re hatched… I got it out today to wash it

The details-

1998 Firebird Formula , sport gold metallic- 1998 only color and 1 of 60 formulas made in the color

LS1 , A4 , 2.73 gears

2 owner car, 75,944 miles

Options-

T-tops, cruise, single cd monsoon, pwr drivers seat (grey cloth interior), traction control, Z rated tires ect

The good-

Very straight body, no rust, no dents, no dings, paint is all original and a solid 8+ out of 10, clean car fax

interior is nice, no cracks in the dash, seats have always been covered since new

Runs good

Ran a 12.7 @ 111mph at Atco with the current mods

New tires (Khumo) front and rear, new brakes

Mods-

Slp lid, Mac y pipe with high flow cats, 3" hooker exhaust, stage 2 tranny rebuild with shift kit and 3500 yank stall

The bad-

Drivers side window motor is shot, drivers door panel cracked at bottom, speakers are shot, SES on due to 02 sensor (new one included with car), maf has been ported poorly, low oil light comes on sometimes (level is fine most likely the float sensor needs replacing or the wires have a short)

Pictures are of the car washed and dried but not waxed

Mods this summer will include heads/cam/ls6 intake, headers and gears

All in all I am VERY happy with it, thanks for looking!

nice pick up for 4400

3

that light doesnt mean low oil it means low oil pressure

4

I love the color! Nice find! When are you selling it?

5

uh oh

6

2 lights for that car Joe … low oil in the pan light … and check gauges when there is low oil pressure

7

$4400 for a 12 second car…

wtf…

i’ve spent more than twice that…

:tup: to going fast cheap

8

i know i googled after i posted but i had to poop

9

nice whip

10

nice buy. i like the car but the color is horrendous. great price. :tup:

11

yeah its the low oil light, sometimes when you turn the key to on before you start it and the pcm does its diagnostics and shuts the lights off the low oil level light stays on, other times it goes out

Oil pressure is great in the car ,its 50psi+ when cold and 25-30psi at hot idle… also it runs nice and cool, no overheating

The car has hardly been driven in the last 18 months so when I get it out in the spring I am going to flush all fluids and check the sensor out

12

12.7 @ ATCO :slight_smile:

I think thats 13.0 here :slight_smile:

Nice car :tup:

13

I think the color is pretty sweet.

14

I have no idea what the 60’ was, I am sure I can squeeze a 12.5-12.6 out of it, he had it at max weight as well

the first mod I have done is ditch the donut spare and the jack and all that bs…

15

thanks man, I do too, one of my favs on 4th gen fbodies

16

Yea shouldn’t be hard to run mid 12s with that stall.

17

good deal!! :tup: to more fbodys

there is prob a reason its 1 of 60 in that color, but what the hell cant argue with that price

19
