Here is an unusual find.......a 1997 Pontiac Firebird convertible with less than 100 miles from new!  It is a beautiful dark metallic green with tan cloth interior & tan power top.  It has the series 2 3800 V6 & 5-speed manual transmission and all the available power options.  It has 78 miles on the odometer and still smells new!

Here's the story......a good friend of mine (who's in his 70's now) has been a car guy his entire life.  He bought a '64.5 Mustang convertible off the showroom floor back in the spring of '64 and still owns it to this day.  Back in the 80's & early 90's he was heavily into the Pontiac Fiero....which is when I met him (I was also big into the Fiero at that time).  By the late 90's & early 2000's he was moving towards the 4th Gen F-body and had about 20 various Camaros & Firebirds.....his favorite driver today is a '99 Trans-Am.  Anyway, he purchased this Firebird convertible in July 1998 to give to his wife, but subsequent to his giving it to her she mentioned how much she hated those things.  So he never gave it to her and the car sat in the corner of his warehouse ever since. 

Late last year he mentioned that he'd like to sell it and after hooking up a new battery it would not start.  The fuel pump was shot.  We had a new Delphi fuel pump installed, but it still would not start, so a set of rebuilt fuel injectors and a new fuel filter were installed too.  It fired right up and runs & drives great.....just like the new car that it is.  I drove it about a mile to the storage garage and the only thong "wrong" with the car are the tires have flat spots from sitting for almost 15 years, but if you are just adding this to your collection this will not be an issue.  If you plan on driving the car then new tires should be the first thing you replace anyway.    

With the exception of the battery, fuel pump & injectors this car is exactly as it was when it left the factory.  There are some small scratches & scuffs on the rear bumper from bumping into the wall when it was parked in 1998 and some small clearcoat chips along the drivers door......nothing serious, but it must be mentioned.  I took some pictures of these issues, so please take a good look at them.  If you need better pictures then ask and I will e-mail them to you.

I have described this car as honestly as possible and while it is essentially a brand new car there are no warranties expressed or implied......it is a 15+ year old car, so anything can happen.  I encourange you to ask me any & all questions prior to bidding so there are no doubts about anything.  Also, you need to have at least 5 feedback points (with no negatives) otherwise your bid will be removed.  If you have less than 5 and want to bid on this car then please e-mail me first and we'll talk about it.

 High bidder will send a $1000 non-refundable deposit via Pay Pal within 24 hours of the auctions close with the balance due within 7 days of auction close.  I can store the car for up to 2 weeks after the auction ends for no additional cost, but after that it will be $200/month (either way the car must be paid in full within 7 days of the auctions closing).

The reserve is very reasonable......about half of what it cost new, so please don't ask me what it is.  Bid to own!

 

Thanks and good luck!
