1979 W50 Special Appearance Package, WS6 Special Performance Package, 4spd Formula Firebird with 43,337 miles on it currently (subject to change ), L37 4.9 Litre, 4bbl engine, Limited Slip Differential, 4-Wheel Disc Brakes, Custom Color Keyed Seatbelts, Rear Defroster, IP Tachometer & Gauges, Soft Ray Glass - All Windows, Additional Acoustical Insulation, Lamp Group, Front & Rear Floor Mats, Roof Drip Molding, Power Antenna, Power Door Locks, Radio Accommodation Package (Has Dealer Installed Pioneer 8-Track), Tilt Steering Wheel, Controlled Cycle Windshield Wipers, Custom Velour Interior Trim in Camel Tan Hobnail with Lombard Bolsters.
Other than the tires, I don't believe this car has had anything changed since new. The interior is immaculate, everything works as it should including the lights & key buzzer. The car has NEVER been smoked in and the dash, headliner, rear package tray, glass, instrument panel, carpet, console, seats & door panels are all in EXCELLENT condition. The exhaust is original including the catalytic converter and transverse mounted muffler. The floors are rust free as is every other panel on the car. The paint is 100% GM Original - there are factory defects in the paint, including dirt, hairs, drips/runs/pools & some metal flake droops - all minor and only visible if searched for. Space saver spare, inflator, jack & instructions are all in the trunk & show no signs of ever being used. There is also an additional matching single rim included should you choose to have a full size spare.
Defects: It leaks a little oil - it wouldn't be a Pontiac if it didn't! There are a few small chips in the paint if you walk around the car as well as a couple very minor door dings in the front fender - to be expected. On the interior the front seat backs have a couple of scratches and there is some minor discoloration in the two rear side panels. The front & rear windshield trim has lost it's original black paint and now has a brushed look to it except for the two rear side pieces which somehow retained their paint. This was a common problem back in the day - you can choose to refinish them or strip the two remaining pieces to match the roof drip moldings.
The car is an absolute blast to drive, very torquey, and will burn 1st, spin 2nd & grab third without much effort. It handles great, and is super comfortable inside with all temp/climate controls working properly. It drives great in the heat (had it out on CT's record breaking 103 degree day last summer), and starts every time you turn the key - it also has a nice little shake when idling at stop lights.
I have a clear Idaho title from the 2nd owner along with a notarized open bill of sale. I also have the warranty book from the first owner who took delivery with 4 miles on the car and they both lived in the same town it was sold new in.
Price is $14,500 which is reflective of the issues which you may/may not choose to address. The cars condition and patina (I hate that word) could not be duplicated at anything close to that price. E-mail is [email protected] Thanks.
