Pontiac Firebird 4.9L V8 1980
General description :
SURVIVOR, #'S MATCHING 4.9L V8, TH350 AUTO, A/C, PWR STEER/BRAKES, DRIVES GR8!!
This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Formula is fantastically original from the unique paint package to the V8 under the hood. So it's amazing that a survivor this impressive can also be so affordable. The factory-correct Fiero Bronze is a unique color that's going to attract attention. And it's only part of a total package that includes a brown lower section and plenty of gold pin-striping to separate it all. It's a unique setup, and it has just enough worn-in presence that lets people know it's all-original. That's right! Nearly forty years later, and this still wears the same paint applied at the California factory. But it's more than just history that attracts you to this coupe. As a true Firebird Formula, you get aggressive pieces like the dual hood scoops, full-width rear spoiler, and color matched Rally II wheels. The brown interior nicely coordinates with the earth tones of the exterior. This is believed to also be quite original, and it has been given great care over the years. So the high-back bucket seats with replacement seat covers are comfortable, the carpeting feels plush, and the door panels are complete. Even the factory air conditioning is blowing cold. This is a true driver's machine with the classic T/A steering wheel, console-mounted shifter, and all the gauges set in the sporty machine-turned panel. Under the hood is the original 4.9-liter V8. It has a very honest appearance, right down to the correct factory decals. This V8 fires up with confidence, so you'll love taking it out on the road. In fact, this is the era of sharp handling Firebirds. So you get great features like four-wheel disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. Plus, with power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission, it's easy to show off this survivor everywhere. A car like this needs the right paperwork, and that's why it comes with the factory build sheet, reproduction window sicker, and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) documentation. This is a distinct and powerful time capsule. So at a price like this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call now!
