Pontiac Firebird Espirit

Description for Pontiac Firebird 1971

Hi & Happy New Year.... This is a 71 Pontiac Fire Bird, bought here on e-bay about 2 yrs. ago from a not so honest person. I was so disgusted with the total lies in this deal & no recourse, t has just sat there since I got it. I was told when I bought it has a 455 engine, t dose not. it has what I believe is the original 350 eng., ome one installed a 4 barrel intake & a holley carb. It had a fuel leak & is not getting fuel to the carb. at this time. It dose run if you dump a little gas in the carb. It did run & shift good when i got it. I only drove it out the road a few miles. Like I said it was not what I paid for (bad buying experience for me).. I do not want that for you so, f your looking for a show car this 1 will require a total restoration. If your looking for a classic muscle car for a summer driver fixer upper this can be done with a little time & $$$. This is an a/c car, ompressor is missing & I do not have it, ut most of the other parts appear to be intact. It has a fiber glass formula hood, han needs some repair to the corners near the windshield & some aligning, acing seats & after market floor shiftier.The car looks mean & sounds nasty when it runs. I heard no abnormal noises or smoke from the engine, he trans. shifted thru all the gears with no slipping. I think it has the 400 trans. It looks like all the body panels have some bondo & need some spots redone. The worst of the body is the driver side trunk area where the trunk lid hinge attaches to the body is rusted out & needs new piece welded in. (not disclosed when I bought it).. I got the car from Florida & was told the body was in better condition. Do not get me wrong it is all available & repairable. It all depends on what you want. these cars are getting hard to find. This one is no show car, ut is far from scrap. If you have any questions please ask & I will try to answer A.S.A.P. Clear PA title & ready to be your winter project...
