I'd get the speedo fixed but that was a decent deal. Looks nice, just do a delete of those floormats

here are some pics, and here's the add 1994 Formula Firebird, 113000 miles, Excellent condition (see pictures). Runs Great. 5.7L V-8 engine, 4 Speed automatic transmission, Air Conditioning, Lots of new parts installed in last year. These include new PCM module for transmission ($500 - Dealer installed with warranty), new Distributor & water pump ($1300 - Dealer installed with warranty), new radiator ($185), New radio and sound system wiring ($400 - installed at Circuit City with Warranty), replace head gasket manifolds ($900), new battery, new platinum spark plugs and wires. Includes spare set of original factory rims as shown in picture. This is fun car to drive, especially with the T-Tops off. Has excellent new stereo system with AM/FM/CD and auxiliary input for Ipods. Only known issues are that the ABS and brake light are on in the instrument panel, the speedometer shows about 10 - 15 mph faster than actual and key fob doesn't work. No serious issues and no reason to fix these. I bought this vehicle about one year ago but have picked up new vehicle and now have a few too many. This vehicle is stored in the Winter. With all the new parts that were installed, I will not sell for less than the amount I originally paid. This is a really solid vehicle and a great deal for the price.

Looks clean.

Before you start the mod's, fix the "BRAKE" and "ABS" problems, and recalibrate the speedometer. Its running up the miles on the car faster than you are really putting them on. Usually, the speedo will read high because the rear axle ratio was changed, and the PCM wan't reprogrammed.
