1978 Pontiac Firebird Base Model 305 cu V8 Original CA Numbers Matching Car

1978 Pontiac Firebird Base Model 305 cu V8Original California Palm Springs CarBuilt in the GM Van Nuys Plant has never left California so is rust free. Clear title, just passed smog in August, tags for 1 year.

I bought this car in 2006 and it took me until 2016 to restore it. The car was restored to be driven and it was restored to near original condition including the 8 track player and radio which was restored to factory specs, the non original items are listed below. I have driven the car and enjoyed it, I did not restore it to sit in the garage and look at but I really do not have the time to drive it any more. The car was gone through completely by a professional mechanic and has been worked on by the same person since. It was professionally repainted and all the dings were taken out on the door and hood angles, it was done correctly all panels were removed and painted there was no painting done with panels or trim in place. There are a few knicks from being driven but the paint is still fresh and looks good. The Engine needs detailing again the joy of living in a desert. The AC was converted to R134 and was properly installed with all new components including a new light weight high efficiency compressor all the lines were flushed the AC control does not work on the dash and leaks vacuum I have had no luck finding a replacement so it is by passed as is the heater core. AC works through the dash and floor vents and is either on or off. The AC stopped working last week I was going to ask $11750 for the car but with the AC out it is now $11250 OBO everything else about the car is listed below.

It is available for inspection if you are local or want to test drive it. Call John seven six zero 364 0 0 9 7 . Mile age may vary do to driving in the mean time.

Buyer will have to arrange pick up but I will make myself available for shipping arrangements and pickup.
