If you have owned one of these in the past then you know how well they handle and how much fun they are to drive with the tops out. There are not a lot of these laying around any more and if you have been watching the market they are starting to head north following the 2nd Gen cars. 1990 was the lowest production year for the firebird. All in all this will make a great project for someone. The original color is still on the car and is factory brilliant red. The car needs paint as it is on its original paint job. The wheels are in good overall condition and have not been curbed as most have. The seats are good with no rips or tears. The carpets, headliner and sun visors will all need to be replaced.
Cosmetically the interior is in poor condition although it is all there.

Mechanically the car still needs shocks all the way around, sway bar bushings, headlights don't go up and down, windshield is cracked and will need to be replaced. The motor runs and idles good and I have had the compression checked and the motor is healthy. The body on this car is very good with only one very minor dent in the left rear quarter (see last photo). I have recently changed the oil, changed cap rotor and plugs, replaced fuel pump, replaced 2 injectors and invested in a matching set of 255/50/16 Yokohama tires which is the largest tire that you can run on the stock wheels. This is a running and driving "project" car. The 5.0-liter V8 powerplant was good enough to deliver over 200 ponies.1990 Firebird Formula, 5.0 TPI, WS6, T-Top. Still, its engine lineup was strong enough. The AC was standard for the V8 model and optional for the V6 version.Īpart from the thrilling Trans Am GTA model, the rest of the range was not very special. The overall interior design was showing its age, and only the optional CD player looked appropriate for those times. Inside, the Firebird still sported the same high-bolstered bucket seats at the front, meant to provide enough side support for their occupants during high-speed cornering maneuvers. That idea was carried over to its successor, which was launched in 1993. Another unusual option for the Firebird was the restyled nose that extended the car's front with an aerodynamically profiled bumper, making the car look sharper. Nevertheless, that was not very attractive to customers, who preferred the elegant sloped-down liftgate behind the cabin. Strangely, even a notchback design was offered as an option for the Firebird. Pontiac had experimented with a few variations for the Firebird's bodywork. In addition, it tried to lower the car's costs, even though that meant decreasing the quality of some non-essential parts, such as the door cards. Thus, in the late '80s and the beginning of the '90s, it tried to keep the car fresh on the market with different versions or addition. Pontiac faced a difficult situation: on one hand, it knew that it had to replace the model, and on the other hand, the new generation wasn't ready.
