1995 Formula Firebird A4 - For Sale
History:
I bought this car back in 2004 from florida. When I bought it the transmission was not working. The car had 119,000 miles on it when I bought it, had typical problems leaking intake manifold, bad opti as a result of the leaking intake manifold. I fixed the oil leak, had the transmission rebuilt, replaced bad fuses, changed oil, oil filter, also installed a new opti in 2005.
Stats:
1995 Formula Firebird A4
145K Miles
Asking $4,000
Modifications:
Red Top Optima Battery
ThrottleBody Bypass
OBDI and OBDII Docks available in the car for computer tuning
TransGO Shift kit
Madz28 Tune
Hypertech Thermostat
MSD Blaster coil
High Performance polyurethane Transmission mount
SLP Intake (the 2 cone design)
Throttlebody airfoil
3inch Exhaust Cutout
Tint
Alarm system with 2-way paging keyless entry, remote trunk release, and remote start.
Replaced solid antenna with automatic antenna. It goes up when you turn the radio on.
LS1 Taillights
Bad Stuff:
A/C Doesn't work
The car has scratches but paint isen't that bad.
The rims are stock, and are not show quality. They basically skuffed up.
Also the back two interior panels are missing from the rear the ones that hold the speakers. And there are no speakers in the rear. Only two front speakers with tweaters. But if that really makes a difference. I personally will install factory speakers, but I figured no one really cares who listens to car audio because they will install their own stuff anyways. Which is why I haven't bothered installing any. I got quoted 40 dollars from an autosalvage for those trim pieces are missing.
The front bumper is missing a significant amount of paint. It was cracked by a rock, and it just started flaking off. So I put a bra on front, rather than repaint it. You could easily pick up a used bumper for 100 bucks or less.
The left taillight is cracked
Other stuff:
I bought other parts that I never installed, and I am including these with the sale of the car since I have no use for them and don't want to deal with selling them individually. So unless you want to make a good offer for the parts don't bother asking.
98 Silver Hood Mint Condition (paid $100)
LT1 Block (needs to be prepped NO CRACKS)
Comp 1.6 SA RR (4K on them, no sign of wear) (paid $125)
New timing chain set (paid $75)
New xe 218/224 .495/.502 (paid $200)
LT1 Intake Manifold powder coated red, with chrome detailing. I paid 250 for this. It looks like the LT4 intake manifold, but its an LT1 intake manifold.
Brand new assembled orange engine stand.
LT1 Heads good condition (paid $300)
Basically you don't need much more to put a good engine together. Or you could just sell off the parts and get a good running formula for cheap.
Why am I selling?
I am in debt 2,100 dollars to the state of texas. Also I can't afford the gas, and need a more fuel efficient vehicle. I intend on picking up a 250R Ninja or something like that. If you have a good condition motorcycle I will consider a trade plus cash. So don't hesitate to send offers my way guys.

Re: 1995 Formula Firebird A4 - For Sale
This is located in san antonio texas, and the car is fully drivable. I can drive the car to make a transaction there are limits though I am not going to drive to dallas or houston it has to be within reason. Unless of course you want to pay extra for me to drive there. I'll be posting pics.
Update forgot to mention
Car has a new alternator from autozone($150), and new redtop optima battery ($100), and a brand new high performance polyurethane transmission mount ($35).
The car is OBDI but has an OBDII connector as everyone knows thats how they came in 95'. So, I spliced on an OBDI connector, it is located behind the air conditioning controls and is accesible from the passenger seat. So you can run a laptop if you have the older connection, or the newer connection.
Im really lookin to get a partial trade for a bike, or all out cash. Since I need to pay off my debts is the main thing.
It has no problems running, it doesn't smoke, leak any fluids, power steering works flawlessly. It is my "daily" driver, I dont drive it daily more like every other day. The only issues are purely cosmetic, and even then I'd say its in good condition aside from the bumper which isen't visable unless you remove the bra which if you wanna change that go ahead. Tires are pretty new on the back, about 5 months I'd say. They are Kumho Ectsa, and the same tires on the front. Its 16inch stock 95' wheels they are the spoke design. I've taken care of this car since I bought it, and I didn't think I would ever sell it but since I have to I'd like to sell it on here rather than ebay or autotrader where the car might go under appreciated.
