Owning the dream

1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 2dr Hatchback
I had always dreamed of owning a 3rd Gen Bird.I finally bought the 5.0 V8 last year. It doesn't dissapoint. Although it has cost a fortune to restore the rewards are great. I havent come across a single person who isn't in love with the looks. A classic and timeless design which is admired everywhere it goes. The V8 sounds sweet and had enough torque to pin you to the seat.I went through … my first set of rear tires in a little under a month. Talk about seeing money go up in smoke !! I would recommend this car to anyone. Just make sure your wallet can keep up with the car. It makes me smile and scares the hell out of any passenger. Truly Awesome.
Wonderful car! Amazing memories!

1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 2dr Hatchback
I purchased this 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula T-tops. WS6 performance package. 305 tuned port 5 speed. Arctic white with 20,000 miles from a dealer. It had a misprint in the local paper about the price. I stumbled upon it from a bumbling salesman. Long story short, I paid $6,000 for the car with not a scratch on it. It looked and drove like new. I owned the car for 8 years. Those are … the most memorable 8 years behind a wheel I have had. I outran many cars on road races over the years. It had a bigger throttle body and injectors installed. That's it. All stock on the rest. Never let me down. Never left me stranded. A beautiful car inside and out. The only parts I replaced were the many 245/50/16 tires from burnouts. And the fact that you cannot rotate them on the rim. They have to be taken off the rim (offset). If I could turn back time, I would buy ten more of them. Long-live the firebird! R.I.P.

1991 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2dr Convertible
I absolutely loved my Trans Am
convertible. It was the first car I
purchased by myself, for myself; and
rode like a dream. Though the
performance as compared to todays cars
was a little lackluster, it was as
close to a real sports car in its
technicval simplicity and handling as
one could get. The styling is second
to none and it always turned heads no
matter where … I went.
An awsome car

1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 2dr Hatchback
I truly love this car. The ws6
preformance suspension handles better
than any other car i have driven,
including many little imports. The 5.0
makes plenty of tire squeeling pin u to
your seat power. And the whole formula
body style to my opinon was the best
looking model ever made. I love drivin
around cause every one always takes a
second look. And it has 157000 miles … on
it and runs as if it just came out of
the factory. What more do u want from a
car.
