Pontiac Firebird 301 V8 Turbo 1981
General description :
1981 Pontiac Firebird This is a really nice driving Firebird that has been taken care of it’s entire life spending half of it in a barn! It has been driven and there are definitely some imperfections on the paint and body but that has been reflected in the price. This car would make a very cool daily driver or an excellent candidate for restoration. Having both the Turbo and Bandit Trans Am package with t-tops make it desirable for a 301. It is powered by a 301ci turbo engine that runs through a stock automatic transmission and running gear. The entire running gear has only 54,600 miles and runs like it. It is a very solid car with no squeaks or rattles. The external turbo gauge with lights in the cowl hood just ups the neat factor on the car. It fires right up every time and is a very reliable and solid driving car. The exterior is done in a red and black color scheme with original paint. The body does have a few imperfections but is pretty straight. It sits on its original suspension and 15 inch wheels with stock hub caps that are in very good condition. The t-tops are solid and water tight and the original cover is still in the trunk. The interior is in very good condition with the exception of some fading from the sun on the carpet. Other than that it is very clean and loaded to the max with power everything, original radio, power Recaro seats and a full gauge package where everything works including the top. Even the power antenna goes up and down with no issue every time. If you are looking for a solid entry level Firebird with Trans Am package or a great starter for restoration (solid car) don’t let this one pass you by under market value. We are offering it at just $13,900.00! This car is located and being represented for a collector in the Seattle, Washington area.
