1971 Pontiac Firebird Additional Info:
Up for sale this 1971 Pontiac Esprit turned into a Pro Touring Trans Am. I purchased this car about two years ago from the builder who said he spent five years creating this Pro Touring car.
Since then it has sat in my garage not being driven as much as it should. The builder of this car
stated there was about 5000 miles on it when I purchased it and since then I have put maybe
600 miles on it. Odometer is in Kilometers and reads 8899 now. Below specs are as stated by
builder and have not found any reason to doubt they are all correct.

THE BAD:
I believe in full disclosure so here it is: Since owning this car I have noticed items that may
need attention. Master cylinder is seeping onto brake booster. Trunk springs are not strong enough
to hold lid with added spoiler. Front bumper has small cracks in paint (see picture) . Door, and hood gaps could be a lot better. Paint is beautiful but it is NOT a show car, if you look hard enough there are flaws and some touch up areas. Power windows work but could operate a little better.
Indicator cancel does now always work. Speedometer and Odometer are in Kilometers.
GM Hot cam is noisy .
I encourage serious bidders to perform an inspection in person. Please call or email with any questions. Current California registration till February of 2018, clear title in hand. Car sold AS IS buyer responsible for pick up. Will assist with transport pick up if prior arrangements are made.
