For Sale: 1979 Pontiac Firebird in FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan

Vehicle Description

1979 Firebird Esprit

This is a two owner car I purchased in 1982 it now has 59972 original miles. They made around 70,000 of these but there are very few survivors. It was my daily driver in Texas for the first several years until I moved back to MI in 1985. From then until now it has been garage stored and only driven as a “summer fun” car. The Car has Air Conditioning, Power steering, power brakes, a 4.9l V8 with 2bbl carbureted engine. A Solid survivor car with original 1979 Mayan red paint and Carmine interior. This is a dependable strong running and driving car. If you want to know what driving a Firebird in 1979 was like this car will show you. The car has always been maintained and has new Brakes with less than 3000 miles on new calipers, Rotors, wheel cylinders, shoes, pads and Master cylinder. I replaced the Brake Booster this summer.  The front suspension has new springs and rubber in the upper and lower control arms as well as new front shocks. The interior is original except for the headliner which was replaced when it started to fall a few years ago. It has new tires all around and received an alignment at that time. The AC works it is still R12 and the compressor has a minor oil leak from being stored and running intermittently but blows COLD. Water Pump was replaced in late 80s and Radiator was re-cored at that time. The car runs cool has never overheated.  Most of the vacuum lines were replaced last winter due to age. The Car was factory Ziebarted and is solid with a few spots of surface rust which were treated with a ‘stop rust’ product. This can be seen in the pictures and Video. Transmission fluid was changed 2 years ago and the pan gasket, shifter shaft seal and output shaft seal were replaced. Transmission is strong, does not slip and has never had any issues.

 

If you are looking to have an affordable, fun, reliable car to drive in the summer and putter with or to build something greater this is the perfect car. This car is a survivor and is in need of a new home where it can be loved for the next 38 years.
